Recognizing and #Healing From #Narcissistic #Abuse
The #grief that emerges in the aftermath of a #narcissisticRelationship falls under the umbrella of "disenfranchised grief". That is grief which isn't socially acknowledged as reasonable.
The sad reality is that navigating the grief of losing a relationship with a #narcissistic partner is really fucking difficult.
You're grieving a person that never existed. They were a facade produced by a psychological predator to devour you whole. This means you're grieving a person that is still alive while simultaneously never having existed. This is exacerbated when you are unable to go no contact and have to regularly face your abuser.
If you're wrestling with this: you have all my empathy. What helps me is understanding that I'm not really grieving the loss of the relationship but I'm grieving the loss of possibility and hope. I thought I found someone who shared my visions for a good life. I did not. I'm grieving the loss of that. Not the loss of my abuser.
Time to recall that #Conservative politics correlates with poor adaptivity in the brain.
It runs around judging others as maladaptive or 'woke' to prop up ego weakened by insufficient capability to adapt to life's certain flow of changes and nature's always evolving diversity. Hence it seeks to retreat into its #narcissistic supply of past experience. It hardly empathises because doing so would make the deficiencies so obvious.
An optimal mind does not need to call reality or conscience #woke
Waking up in my personal hell mourning my toxic relationship with my (ex)partner, who I ๐คso much but same time distance myself from, bc of his childhood trauma induced #narcissistic behaviour. I feel I'm betraying him; bc I have to call out his behaviour to our mortal enemy, the pigs.

3 Signs You Have a #Trauma Bond With a #Narcissistic #Partner
-> emphasizes personal achievement, makes him unpredictable, even to himself. Discussions of Trumpโs behaviour often include references to narcissism as a lens through which to understand his actions & decisions. Itโs not possible because not only is he unpredictable, he also has no plan or long-term vision, just a selfish instinct. His achievements are set in stone ever since his career began.
