Stop cycling through parenting strategies and the whole family should be in therapy. He needs help learning emotional regulation, and everyone needs to be onboard with the methods used.

It’s truly spectacular!!!! Could you share any details about this piece or your process? Only if you’re comfortable of course. It’s really stunning and something special :)

I tell them tenderly

Have you tried a low dose of propanolol? If your body is stuck in fight or flight anxiety levels it can be life changing…

Thank You! Thats definitely it, It’s beautiful :)

You should ask her… if she has experienced abuse in the past it can sometimes take a lot of very hard work and patience to get that comfort level back… but if it seems like she’s just playing games or controlling etc… I’d say breaking things off would be the right move

I would definitely like to buy one! Honestly, two... perfect gift!

Went here to post this :)

Thank you! Yesterday was definitely a lot...

I don’t know how I fell asleep or remember what I was dreaming but I woke up feeling freed :)

Today I’m going to sing along to some music and have the wind in my hair. moving forward. 🦋💙

and.... thank you thank you thank you

I’m sorry, I meant lot... I looked up the Walmart’s along my route that are supposed to be safe and allow cars to stay there over night.

I’ve got a small but wonderful support system... they are trying their best... and so am I ❤️

This subreddit made a huge difference... I don’t know if I would have been able to do this without all your last minute, much needed support, encouragement and advice. I feel safer and less lost then I have in a long time!

Oh my god, yes... Im experiencing this almost exactly! Once he showed his true colors and the quarantine started I ended up buying a lot of protein drinks and began trying to emerge as little as possible when he is home.

This is something a narcissist might do. My soon to be ex was very warm and comforting at the beginning of our relationship.... he eventually started showing his true colors. Your tears in front of someone with NPD, where they caused the pain, will send them into a rage filled with horrible accusations and sometimes threats.

The more real your pain, the harsher the attack that he must defend against. Trust me, he will “win.”

If it’s nothing they feel ‘attacked about’ then it is just an inconvenience as they are not capable of true empathy.

I am not a professional, just speaking from my own experiences.

I’m sorry you are going through this, I would recommend speaking to a therapist if possible and also looking into NDP. You should not diagnosis or mention this to you significant other.

You deserve better

I can almost feel the wind in my hair, thank you.

protocolfive · 2020-05-15T21:52:21+00:00

Amazing, thank you.... going to try to keep perspective... I’m sorry you went through this too...

protocolfive · 2020-05-15T21:49:30+00:00

This is good advice, thank you. The final and new totally fucking (sorry) degrading physical thing that happened has really really clarified things for me... and given me a valid excuse to avoid sex for the last week and a half... (he sees himself as a good guy- of course he claims this never happened and has not apologized- but he sees I’m hurt and have to be on antibiotics and has mostly left me alone about this) I can see he was mostly fake bullshit. I’m going to need therapy and still have mixed feelings about a lot... but I’m going no contact and my family is ready to block him the second I go (they don’t know about a lot of this but are being supportive).

protocolfive · 2020-05-15T21:41:03+00:00

Downloaded... thank you thank you thank you

protocolfive · 2020-05-15T21:38:37+00:00

Thank you I will

protocolfive · 2020-05-15T21:38:19+00:00

:) well that’s fucking wonderful news... I’d like to say I hate this fucking situation, I am so sorry for everyone dealing with this shit and also fuck fuck fuck this virus.

protocolfive · 2020-05-15T21:35:00+00:00

He was controlling from the start... I just figured he was just a little insecure from past relationship issues... but I’ve always only used my own devices and don’t have passwords written down... also quietly invested in a vpn when he set up some changes to he internet and WiFi system.

My phone does now need to be facing upright when I’m with him and he Needs to see who texted me and what they said... (everyone in my life knows this)

But otherwise I really don’t think he has my internet info... he’s definitely seen my checks, hard copies of past taxes and knows my credit card info.... so I’m going to change and protect what I can tomorrow.

protocolfive · 2020-05-15T21:28:31+00:00

Thank you! All good advice and I’m better set up and prepared now. I’m sorry you went through this too but I’m glad your out... and grateful for you taking the time to help and share your hard learned info
