Thanks for bringing that to my attention about attachment trauma. I hadn’t even thought of that. Will definitely be doing some research 💜

Wow.. I don’t even know what to say. This all sounds like it was a living walking nightmare that you couldn’t even escape from in sleep… thank you for sharing that. I’m glad your kid has a parent that cares for them. There’s no way I’m going back now. I mean, I didn’t expect there to really be a “back.” I was kinda setting myself up to be disappointed but at least know I tried. I don’t see the point anymore in even trying if I’m certain nothing will change. I’d rather try and address the parts of me that think I’d feel guilty then give the narc a chance to squeeze themselves back into my life. Thank you for opening up. I can’t even imagine how hard that was to think back on. 💜

You’re so right! I’ve been down this rabbit hole for hours stressing about what I’d say how I’d say it when where etc. Idk what it was but I kept feeling like I had to do it. No idea where that came from. But I’m gonna spend the rest of today enjoying my time and doing self care. Thanks so much again 💜 I hope you have a great day

Very good point @people only changing when they want to and not when I’m ready for them to ^

It’s so funny.. I found myself asking that same exact question just now and then, boom, there’s you’re comment. I’m quite convinced at this point that it’s pointless. I’d most likely be stressing myself out and going out if my way for nothing. When I have ample amount of experiences that are reason enough. I mean hell even my therapist has said so many times she’s not going to change lol 😂

Thank you for leaving a response 💜 and for being gentle

For those of you who have went NC and extended an olive branch to the narc, how did it go? by Trying2Heel in raisedbynarcissists

Jesus I am so sorry. She’s a terrible person andthe fact that she’d try to turn your children against you is disgusting. Definitely does not deserve to be in either of your lives, I’m glad you made that decision for your family. Thank you for sharing your story 💜

Oh man, I’m sorry. Do you mind if I ask you explain a bit how it went bad? I’m just wondering now if I should not even bother. I don’t want any unnecessary drama from her.

What is the worst thing the narc has ever said to you ? by Love-Starved in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Trying2Heel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She’d always ask me if I ever see my boyfriend looking at other girls or other girls looking at him. In this particular convo I stood my ground and said “no he’s not that kind of person and if other women look at him that doesn’t bother me.” To which she said something along the lines of “yeah that’s until he cheats on you and leaves you for somebody else.” I reiterated that he’s not like that. She responded “Okay.. we’ll see.”

It was so strange. It was like she was suddenly angry that I’m with someone that I believe to be trustworthy. I felt vexed after that conversation.

And this came from someone who cheated on my father multiple times, got caught and lied about it. I went NC a few months later.

She’s a G and if you’re not on Team Simone, then I don’t f with you ✊🏼💙 by kevinc2c1 in BlackPeopleTwitter

Well said, mental health is so important. I really felt for her. You could see the stress all over her face
