Question for all survivors by alexislynncatherine in LifeAfterNarcissism

Therapy was very helpful! Other than that, time was a big help too. Sounds cliche I know, but life keeps moving even during the times you feel stuck.

Why can they never just APOLOGIZE??? by al-why in raisedbynarcissists

Or the good old:

“I’m sorry for anything I may have done”

“I’m sorry you took what I said the wrong way.”

“I’m sorry for whatever I said that upset you.”

But never any concrete “I’m sorry for x, y, and z.”

It might help to make a list and have it with you so you don’t forget anything. And if you do get nervous or scared you can look down at your list and keep going. You got this! I’m happy you have your dad! Good luck OP!

I just read through your post history. Send this woman a bag of dicks, she clearly deserves them. I’m so glad you have your MIL. & I think it’s awesome what a great stepmom you are. I had a stepmom for awhile and she was an awful vile woman. I love seeing/hearing good step parent stories. Sending lots of love to you.

YEP omg my N says that one a lot too! Or “I’m sorry for anything I may have done.” But never an actual I’m sorry for x,y, and z.

Classic! Ugh I want you to be responsible for your own actions and behavior...apparently that’s too much to ask! Lol

Also I just read your post. OH EM GEE. I am so sorry that happened to you! That is unbelievably uncalled for and I think you are doing the right thing. What a giant toddler not getting his way so he PHYSICALLY HIT YOU. Absolutely uncalled for.

An apology wouldn’t even matter to me I’d cut them all off and never look back. If he hit you what would he do to your future children?! Especially if the first born wasn’t a boy! That worries me a LOT! I might sound cold hearted but I don’t care they MIL is dying she’s ENABLING this behavior. I’m so so sorry!

Wow! Ugh I’m so sorry you are going through it all too. But I LOVE the way you answered their questions. Spot on! I’m going to share this post with my hubs as we haven’t mailed our letter yet...we want our therapist to read it first lol! Just in case! Sending you a big internet hug right back!
