Narcissists suck

But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!" 2 Tim. 3:1-5

I love the site Narcissists Suck, Anna's sense of humor and blatant honesty is commendable, she speaks the truth she also reminds us how God would want us to conduct ourselves, (for those of you who have faith, I am working on that) Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves, that certainly speaks the truth!! I remind myself daily of the truly wonderful parents I had, their good ethics, and principals, and then I look at myself in the mirror and think how in the world did you let this happen in your life to allow a man to speak to you as he did, disrespect you as he did, abuse you as he did this is not the way you were raised. I ask myself why I would shed a tear over such a person regardless of the betrayal I experienced. Why did I continue to try and seek love from this person knowing he was the way he was. What was wrong with me. My father was the only male figure in my life who never abused me, before I was adopted I endured abuse, the man I married has abused me for 20 some years, then the freak came into my life and we all know what they do. Counselor believes it stems from the formative years as a small child that is where the damage was done, that I didnt feel I deserved love and it carried with me thru adult life. We worked thru all that and he once told me, try sitting in the front of the bus from now on, not the back of the bus, dont reward ANYBODYS bad behavior with good behavior and quit taking the switch from the abusers and putting it in your hand then abusing yourself more - you DONT DESERVE it, never did. As I worked on this damage I now have healthy boundries and my abusive, controlling husband doesnt like that, thus leaving our marriage highly disfunctional because he cant control and abuse me anymore. I really try and focus on WHY I allowed this to destroy my life vs why he was a narcissist and once I got to the bottom of it it helped the recovery process still painful but it ends here, this will never happen again to me I have stopped the cycle of abuse - just some thoughts I wanted to share with you
