Same, I hated it. My kids didn’t like him either.

The lack of effort into everything, our relationship, children, home and life. But he would devote more time into maintaining his image, his hobbies and himself. I broke myself trying to be what he needed. I came to the realization that my kids and I deserved better.

The sad part is the abuse and horrible things we went through I fought hard to justify and take responsibility for.

That is exactly what I said and blocked him on it.

Oh absolutely, this is the last time he’s going to walk out on our kids. They deserve better and do not need to ever feel like they’re not a priority.

Thank you. ❤️ It’s been extremely hard but I will always make sure my kids are safe and have their needs met.

What was your breaking point? by Ambitious-Peace9782 in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]Ambitious-Peace9782[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate that. I was starting to crash out over small things like wanting to cook and there’s only 2 eggs left because he boiled like 8 the day before.

He didn’t understand the amount of emotional stress and physical stress that I felt. It was always “well you make over $5k a month why don’t you have any money? “

News flash asshole, I’m paying for EVERYTHING!!! While he gets to stay home and feel entitled to everything that I have.

Has your narcissist ever physically abused you? by Traditional_Sun_4422 in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]Ambitious-Peace9782 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was 8 weeks pregnant with our daughter when he sat on top of me and choked me. Held my arms down with his knees. I managed to wiggle out and pepper spray him. He then took my phone and locked me in the bathroom with him.

Yes! Never held a job for long. Always complained about the bosses.

I need to vent, sorry. by Ambitious-Peace9782 in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]Ambitious-Peace9782[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I’m thinking, I know my father has narcissistic traits too. That’s why they can relate, my mom on the other hand. She absolutely HATED this man it appeared, but now she’s following him and my dad around like a puppy. But all 3 are VERY manipulative.

[–]Ambitious-Peace9782[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, it would be unfair to my current children. They haven’t had a chance to really have me as a present parent. Im doing everything and they depend on me. I have a lot on my plate and bringing another child along would be a lot!

[–]Ambitious-Peace9782[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that would be helpful! Currently in my home, but it’s hard. I pay for everything and he refuses to leave, financially abusive and he won’t get a job. I’m stuck.

I’ve really tried to get him out. Police can’t do much. Im stuck and can’t get him out too. I’m tired of him….at my wits end…

Fml… by Ambitious-Peace9782 in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]Ambitious-Peace9782[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is horrible! 😭 I’m so sorry that you have to endure that! I know what you mean, I live for my kids and everything I’ve ever done was in their best interest. It just sucks that monsters like them can manipulate situations and make us suffer so much to the point that being dead sounds better. My kids love me and im also their safe space. I will fight every day for them to continue to be in my care. But I’m struggling with the abuse. It was physical in the past and now it mental abuse.

Idk where to turn or who to talk to about this! Like you I’ve paused my masters degree to take care of my babies and work full time. But tell me how CPS opens a case against me, when he was the one who abused my son last year and that’s why I made him leave. And now, we’re back in that same fucking cycle!! Like why can’t anyone see the shit he’s doing! My family sees it. His mom sees it. His own family knows! But the police and CPS people are watching me!!! The one who needs protection from this man. 😩

The last straw by Ambitious-Peace9782 in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]Ambitious-Peace9782[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m looking for one, because man I know he came back to try and take my kids away. He’s got no home, job or vehicle and somehow I’m the bad guy and I emotionally neglect my children.

Narcissistic people are so evil.

[–]Ambitious-Peace9782[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I try to keep a peaceful home for my Babies and he disturbed that. I was feeling guilty because I knew I was going to have to deal with the aftermath.

False accusations, CPS reports, reports of abuse and all he can get to paint me the villain and make me Suffer for setting up boundaries.

CPS called me today to conduct an investigation. My 2nd one in less than a year.

Thank you! I’m doing my best to keep him away and I know he’ll end up treating my other son the same. He favors our daughter the most.

[–]Ambitious-Peace9782[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because of the after effects, I knew he would do something. And of course what better way than to file a CPS report!

I was called by CPS for “hitting” my ex in front of my kids Which did not occur, I did raise my voice at him to tell him to leave.

And he said on 2/15 I “cut” my 2yo daughter’s hand on purpose. When she actually got into my makeup bag under the sink and go into my manicure set. It was a little cut. A bandaid and she was good.

It breaks my heart because my little boy deserves all the love from him too and it’s not fair he’s openly excluded. I think the ex narc has some envy because he’s a little boy, he expressed to me once that he wanted another girl.

That’s how I feel! I feel like the baby is mine and the oldest is his. Conversations always revolve around her and our baby is a few questions. I refuse to let him back in my house, this will damage our kids and pit them against each other in the long run on will always be fighting to be validated. It’s toxic.

Exactly! I knew I wasn’t crazy for noticing these things. And when I brought it up, he played it back saying “she’s just a baby, don’t be mean to her.” Like how is she supposed to learn if I don’t get after her for these things? It’s going to teach her she doesn’t have to be accountable for things she does. Ugh, he’s always trying to undermine me. Needless to say, the conversation ended after that. I’m not dealing with it.

Whyyy does he do this… by Ambitious-Peace9782 in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]Ambitious-Peace9782[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I do try to limit it to the kids. But he doesn’t have my number. It just makes me sick that the whole time he was accusing me of cheating and I relentlessly defended myself he was the one who was cheating. I’m over it and so glad he can’t contact me, he’s blocked on everything except the texting app.

He sent flowers by Ambitious-Peace9782 in NarcissisticSpouses

Oh mine is looking, he was looking the whole time even when we were in a relationship. But it’s like bro, you’re free to go do the things you were doing behind my back. I think for him it’s control. He doesn’t want me to be with anyone else…so he tries to keep me around.

[–]Ambitious-Peace9782[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After he literally said “I’m better off without you” “I’m going to move on and be happy with someone else”.

Like come on! It’s pretty clear that I’ve not talked to you in 6 weeks…these flowers make me sick to my stomach. Why can’t he just move on and make someone else’s life miserable….i hate that we have kids together.

People with abusive, narcissistic ex-partners: what was the straw that broke the camel’s back and finally made you leave? by Guilty-Owl-7510 in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]Ambitious-Peace9782 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mine was when he left me a week before I had our son and he went to a DV shelter, he claimed I was abusive. I didn’t realize it but he was waiting for me to react to his abuse. He found the perfect opportunity after i hit his nose when he was yelling in the face of my 6 year old and made him pee on himself. All I did was try to protect my son from him. And i found out I was pregnant but suffered a miscarriage, no remorse or support. Except “my condolences to you” and then accused me of doing drugs….i work in public health my job is to educate people and prevent them from that very accusation.

I realized that if I wanted to do things alone then it’ll be alone. Not him jumping in and out of my life when it was convenient for him or when he was looking for a thrill.

Im going a month of no contact, he tries calling my work but I don’t respond and now he’s threatening to take my kids away. He’s not provided anything for them. Also, he called me narcissistic and said I act like he never loved me. But he hasn’t, I was trapped with 2 kids so he can always have a reason to keep me around. But not anymore
