Freedom from Narcissistic Abuse

This is from Kaleah LaRoche's "Seven Steps to Breaking Free from Narcissistic Abuse". You can download this book for free from her website. I found it helpful, maybe some of you will too:)

When you realize that you are dealing with a narcissistic personality or any emotionally abusive personality it is important to leave the situation. Get over the idea that you can make it better or change the person. You can’t change anyone! The only person you can change is yourself.

You change yourself by refusing to allow yourself to continue to be abused. You deserve to be treated with dignity and respect and sometimes you have to demand that treatment for yourself. If someone constantly undermines you and belittles you then they don’t deserve to be around you.
The longer you stay with the narcissist the worse it will get.

You may have honeymoon periods but it will always go back to worse than it was before. If you believe it will change, you are living in a fantasy land. Coming out of the fantasy is the same as waking up from the illusion you have been living under. The illusion has to crumble and you have to face the truth.

The truth is he is a narcissist! He is unhappy at the very
core and will continue to project his unhappiness upon you if you stay connected to him. The sooner you disconnect to him the sooner you can recover your energy and get on with your life.

Yes, he will go elsewhere! That is what narcissists do. They have to have a canvass which to project their inadequacies upon. If it’s not you it will be someone else.
Don’t envy the honeymoon period the new source of supply may
have with your ex. He has scapegoated you and dumped on you all the negative qualities he has repressed within himself so he seemingly has a clean slate in which to start over. However the more you purge what he has given to you, the more the energetic scales will balance and his well of negativity will fill up once again.

The new source will soon be the target for these repressed
emotions, just as you once were. It is only a matter of time.
Think of it like this! The more you reclaim your energy, your power and your sense of self worth, the more energy you are taking back from him and the more he will be dumping on the new source. It is really like an energy exchange. He has extracted your energy and can use it to seduce the new source with. However what will he use once your energy has been taken back? Hers!

If you sit around on your pity pot and say woe is me, he left me for a younger, smarter, slimmer, more attractive mate than you will continue to feed him with your power. You will continue to feel that something is wrong with you. You are not the problem. He is! Your problem is that you allowed him to dump his B.S. onto you!

It’s time to say goodbye, once and for all! Let him go! Sure you might have loved him, and sure you had good times. But that is over! Love yourself now! Love yourself enough to say NO MORE!

Trust in your intuition. Trust that what you know somewhere deep inside is true. You are a worthy individual and you have a lot to offer. You are capable of having a loving, healthy relationship. It is only that you need to love yourself first and have a healthy relationship with life. Once you achieve this you will attract healthy people into your life and you will be attracted to healthy people.

The relationship you have been in is NOT healthy! Don’t take all the responsibility for that! Take a little! Take what is yours! But give the rest to him! He is the one who could not be responsible for anything! He is the one who couldn’t have a normal conversation! He is the one who cannot relate on an equal level but always has to one up you, or appear superior in some way. You don’t need that!

It is good that you are leaving the past behind. It is time for you to start fresh! You are the one who will end up getting the better deal! You just have to ride it out! You have to take back what is yours on an energetic level and then you will be free of him. But he will still have to live with himself.

Say goodbye! Farewell! Close the door! Don’t open it again! It is your only way out!

I love this , this week i

I love this , this week i truly got to grips with the fact that my wank stain narc is so unhappy and emotionaly repressed that he did indeed projuect all of that on to me .
I know i keep going on about it but the in the run in with him lsat weekend i remember saying to him "you are so bloody miserable you arnt happy untill you have brought everyone else down to youre level you piece of shit ". and thinking about it this was the only time i saw him flinch , the rest of the time he was stealy face with psycopathic eyes (such an indearing look i felt i was falling in love with him all over again ...not )... lord i do think he knows just how unhappy he is but how do you council someone who has repressed emotions all of their life , it would take the rest of their life just to do thhe basics . My narcs mum left him for a year when my narc was one year old in the care of an emotionaly repressed grandad who was in a nazi prisoner of war camp in the second world war and a grandmother who use to chain his mother to the radiator when she was naughty and had and spent much time in a mental hospital ... jesus wept ,, his mother came back and proceed to have a string of violent men in and out of my narcs life till right up to reasently ... she had him at 17.He started to do drugs at 14 with a long period on a drug called "k" which i think is horse tranquilzer and LSD well all drugs i suposse . The first year i met him where drug free but now he is smoking pot and doing god knows what , his career is going right down the pan with talk of him being relieved of office , he can put on an act but that mask is slipping very fast .He hasnt found new supply yet . but he will and god help that girl .The last girl he took up with while we where on a 3 month break last summer became so unhinged in a space of a few weeks she turned up in his bedroom and 2 in the morning begging him to speak to her .... i want to shout from the roof tops at everone who this man is . He seems on self destruct mode at the moment maybe he will do something so outragious i wont have to say anything .

great read thank you.

great read thank you. Eveything is so true. The only way to get your life back is to close the door on the past and him. It would be a wonderful thing if we could just flip the switch to shut off the memories. Our minds are our worst enemy. Just when i think i have clarity on my relationship with the N, my mind steps in a screws everything up. I start obsessing and thinking things that are completely false like "maybe i could make it work, hes not that bad, i will get through to him and make him see so he can get fixed". I have thought it all and then reality hits. He will NEVER change. NEVER NEVER NEVER. I have to keep repeating it over and over.
Knowing this also means i have to make a choice on what to hold on to. I have given all energy to him for a long time. He has raped and drained me. Should i continue to allow myself to be raped if i have a chance to fight back for my survival? NO. So i choose the other path of freedom and peace. The road to it is a bumpy one but well worth the ride in the end.
