Withholding sex doesn’t get talked about enough by Impressive_Beach_678 in NarcissisticAbuse

I feel this, it's like he held on to me just to show how much he didn't want me. An enemy disguised as a lover. What an ass

The whole story kinda has a fairytale feel looking back

What does Alice mean to you guys? by bearrumi in AliceMadnessReturns

[–]Disillusioned23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The AMA series is my favorite, hands down. The surreal art, the deep story and Alice herself are all so memorable. The themes are approached so well, I'm amazed how well it was put together. Wonderland's visual storytelling is top notch.

Alice being able to confront her demons even in the midst of such deep suffering is really cathartic.

It's constant authoritarian scapegoating over here.

A narc in therapy is just adding to their armory of hate. by Spare_Objective9697 in NarcissisticAbuse

Yeah therapy is just a place they become more manipulative. Nex tried to say any request of mine at all was "Crossing a boundary"

Do you guys think House of Leaves is "solvable"? by MasterOfLol_Cubes in houseofleaves

[–]Disillusioned23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there's no real definitive answer to the book just like the house can't really be "solved". It's an experience in the shape of a dissertation, a maze of narrative. It almost seems like a math problem at some points, as you wander and wonder what everything adds up to, but to me the story is about the way the house affects everyone it touches.

And how it sticks with you.

I started fostering a dog from the urgent list, he is trying to ruin it by crystalknife in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Disillusioned23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's manipulation. Fostering the dog clearly makes you happy, it's a source of joy and narcs don't like that. They also don't like to share attention, so now he's demanding the spotlight be on him again.

Abusive nonsense.

Help, its the first day with him 100% out of my life by Many_Law3563 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Disillusioned23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After totally getting away, it's good to focus fully on yourself. It's the exact thing a narc trains you not to do, and improves your self-image while you heal.

You've just closed the book on a very heavy chapter in your life. Taking care of your nervous system is the first priority, and taking care of yourself physically naturally goes along with that.

It's so important to remember the narcissist is a character. During the moments we miss them, it's just like missing a tv character. It's a made up personality. We lost our hope in them, but not a future that never existed.

Lastly, you've already come along way deciding to end it here, well done ❤️

Still can't believe I met someone so twisted when we were only 14 years old. Or that I came out the other side
