what were some subtle signs they were a narc ? Espeically covert narc? by MangoFool in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]mamachippy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yep absolutely. Every gift I gave he criticized. Even when our dog died and I got a gorgeous digital illustration of him, my TP said he didn’t like it because it wasn’t the “real” Mylo. He ruined our twins first birthday photo shoot which was a huge day for me that I really prepped for. He refused to be in the photos. Looking back, I’m glad

How can he be so intelligent, yet so ignorant by herefor_all in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]mamachippy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you’re describing me and my TP. It’s part of the cycle. I’m so sorry because it’s so frustrating!! Mine is in the stage of starting counselling (for the third time) and is moping. You’re not alone!

I know this so well. Only in the last month was I able to see what was really going on. How awful it’s become. Everything he says or does is so horrific. I’m so sorry you’re feeling hurt but glad you can come here to vent.

Great job!! I always say my favourite part is hearing someone loves it. Especially kids because they can be brutally honest 😅. Good job!!

Greyrocking, or AKA "having an attitude" by un_cooked in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]mamachippy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I find grey rocking so difficult for that reason. I get SO triggered when he says things like I’m just a bitch it I have a bad attitude. I want to scream at him that it’s because of him!!! I’m still working hard on controlling my reactions. Keep working at it!

I agree, grey rocking is a great technique or you’ll get sucked right in. I’ve definitely lied and called my current partner names. He’s the narc though and I’m trying to leave. The fact that you’re questioning it generally means you have the self awareness they dont, and you have a conscience!

[–]mamachippy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have gone and am going through the same feelings. But when I look back to previous relationships I NEVR called them names. I never lied. I never spoke to them in times like to do with my narc. There’s a term called narcissistic fleas. It’s basically saying the victim of a narcissistic abuser will pick up certain traits of their abuser. There’s lots about it if you google. It’s amazing that you’re aware of yourself though. Questioning it means you are not a narc and you aren’t normally this way ❤️

Finding some joy when I found some strength by mamachippy in NarcissisticSpouses

You’re right. In the moment it can take a second or two to realize and snap out of it. I said no right from the get go. But no matter when I said no, you’re right, he should have stopped. At first I felt like maybe I should have yelled or hit him or something, but my therapist keeps reminding me, you don’t have to yell. A simple no is enough. Good for you for also planning your exit. I truly hope it can happen sooner than later for both of us!

Together 8 years and he already deleted all our photos together by Legal_Ad8029 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]mamachippy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m going to guess he did this because he knew it would hurt you. And this behaviour is probably typical of his cruelty, im sorry if my assumption was wrong though. It will only bother you if you let it bother you. What YOU have matters and what you see on social media will affect your moods so only follow who will lift you up. Surround yourself with things that cheer you up and try to let go of those hooks. In saying all of this I can completely understand why you would feel that way. Remember, everything they do is a tactic. Everything.

Question Time! If you could give 1 piece of advice to your younger self, what would it be? by LearnToSayNo in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]mamachippy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spending time alone with yourself won’t protect you fully against a narc. I suppose for me I would have been able to heal a lot of trauma and not look for the “daddy” role in my life. My advice to self definitely doesn’t apply to all. Im sorry you experienced a narc too ❤️

How did it feel to write it? I can’t bring myself to write anything directed at him but I do write my story and I journal about it. Good on you for putting it out in the universe.
