being left to stand alone when you need support has a way of permanently changing how you see everyone around you.

[KIRA 🤍 @Iamkrebkira]

A lot of what we called “good marriages” were actually just women enduring sh!t.
Women swallowing disrespect, silence, cheating, emotional neglect then being praised for being strong.

[Solyricon @Solyricon]

Men think women's greatest fear is ending up alone.

No. There’s nothing scarier than ending up trapped, married to a man who drains your energy, steals your labor, kills your ambition, and calls it love.

[Ryan Daigler - Exposing Narcissistic Abuse 🚩🚩 @Ryan_Daigler]

When you tell someone what your abusers did to you and they don’t seem to have a problem with it, pay attention. They’re telling you something about themselves

[Shadows of Control @shadows_control]

In an abusive relationship, you slowly learn to disappear—to tuck away your own wants, your own voice, and shape yourself around their every need.

At first, you make small concessions, thinking it’s just compromise, just part of being close to someone. But gradually, bit by bit, you’re giving up parts of yourself you didn’t even realize were slipping away.

You start to anticipate their moods, adjust to their preferences, molding yourself into whatever keeps the peace. After a while, it becomes second nature to erase yourself, like an instinctive response you don’t even question. Then one day, you look around and can’t tell where they end and you begin.

“Why didn't you just say No more often?”
“Why did you let them treat you like that?”
“Just ignore them when they do that.”
“Why didn’t you just leave?”
"They would never have done that with me!"
“I thought you were smart and independent?”
“Well, they were always nice to me!'

Don’t say any of these things to abuse survivors – just don’t.

Not only are they not helpful, they are deeply harmful.

They are shaming, blaming, belittling, and invalidating.

Abuse victims already experienced enough of that in their relationship, they don't need it from those that should be there to support them.

You did nothing wrong by asking to be treated right.

A narcissist slowly conditions you to ‘accept’ the unacceptable.

[Elizabeth Shaw - Overcoming Narcissist Abuse. @CoachElizabethS]

Narcissists do not co-parent: they counter-parent. They do not care about the psychological damage they cause to their children, as they will blame all of that on you.

[The Fourth Way @The4thWayYT]

I’d rather be “too sensitive” than whatever the fuck has happened to most of humanity

[Shadows of Control @shadows_control]

Before I met my husband, I believed I was smart and capable. I’d finished school in the top 3% in the country, graduated university with First Class Honors, and had a successful career.

But by the time I left my husband, my self-esteem was in tatters. I felt I was not good enough, not smart enough, not capable enough—simply ‘not enough’ of anything.

One of the common tactics of abusers is ‘devaluing’—a slow, insidious process where they chip away at your self-worth, belittle your achievements, and undermine your confidence.

My husband would tell me:

“You belong in the Stone Age.”

“Your life has been a pattern of failures.”

“I hired someone smarter and more capable than you.”

“You’re just ‘average’, dragging down more intelligent people like me and (our child).”

Over time, this constant barrage of criticism and demeaning remarks erodes your sense of self until you can no longer recognize your own worth.

Healing from abuse involves shedding the distorted view your abuser imposed on you and learning to see yourself through your own eyes again—to recognize your strengths and qualities and reclaim your confidence.

Something that was once my greatest fear – existing as separate from him, standing on my own two feet, and forging my own path – is now one of my greatest joys.

There's a huge difference between a man who truly loves you and wants to build a life with you, and one who stays around solely to keep you from being with anyone else...

[Ryan Daigler - Exposing Narcissistic Abuse 🚩🚩 @Ryan_Daigler]

The narcissist will always be abusive towards you in private, but as soon as someone else is around, they put on a show of acting nice to you.

[JayJay ᥫ᭡ @Jameca2011]

I am NOT suicidal but I am really tired 😓

Tired of being ran over
Mistreated
Looked over
Unappreciated
Unloved
Unhappy
Just tired !

[Kingmaker @MindHealthMaker]

@MindTendencies2 Let people think whatever they want. You have already suffered enough by putting everyone else before you. Stop giving them power to affect you mentally or emotionally. You deserve to be happy & stress-free. It's time to just let go and prioritize your mental health.

This I personally know 🥹
