A toxic relationship can poison every aspect of your existence.
It can make you feel worthless. It can make you believe you don't deserve anything better. It can drain your life force, your energy, your positivity, and even your will to live.
These are just some of the things that narcissistic abuse can do to you.
You have been praying for an answer for a very long time. I know because I have been where you are now. I had so many questions after I was emotionally abused. Overcoming narcissistic abuse is ranked up there with one of the greatest challenges a person might have to overcome in their lifetime. Malignant Narcissism is a confusing mental disorder that leaves a victim with so many unanswered questions: Did he or she ever lover me? Was everything they ever said to me a lie or game? Why wasn't God protecting me during all this or warning me?
Individuals with narcissistic personality disorder engage in chronic devaluation and manipulation of their partners, a psychological and emotional phenomenon known as "narcissistic abuse." Unfortunately, the many books written on the topic go very little into how to overcome it spiritually. Sure, they might offer counseling as an option, but how do you get over the dream you had about your narcissist? Didn't God intervene with you meeting him or her? Weren't marriages supposed to be ordained by God? Why didn't God change this person if he thinks families should stay together? .....and how do I reclaim all that I lost and feel back in control of my life? How do I go beyond being a victim or survivor?
Do you know a person who's arrogant yet overpoweringly charismatic?
Does that person seem to exist only for themselves?
Are they skilled manipulators, capable of getting others to do exactly what they want?
If these traits sound familiar, then you're probably dealing with a narcissist.
Relationships with narcissists, whether romantic or within the family, are usually highly toxic.
Gaslighting, abuse, manipulative behaviors, and even coercion will have you questioning your sanity and wondering what you've done to deserve such humiliation.
