THREE months NC and how do I feel?

Well the first thing that pops into my head is I got my self esteem back, now I only have memories of how I was treated like a whore vs direct contact with the perverted and sick conversations and messages he left me. More and more as time goes by I look back and see how messed up this man was and I think How in the HELL could I have loved such a person. I am still haunted at times by his behavior a few days ago I listened to a few old messages I kept and it was creepy, how fixated this man was with EXTREME perversion, and how utterly sick he sounds leaving messages like that on my cell phone.

I wonder how proud he must be of himself and the person he represents himself to be. You see something quite wonderful happened during my three month Fricking HELL of No contact, I have slowly transformed back into the person I once was, There are still deep wounds and I will always wish one day I could have the chance to tell him how truly disturbed he is and I could care less if he tries all the psycho tricks in his little book because I would only shake my head and walk away from such utter trash and sickness. He could call me anything he wants and I would only think of him as a very unhappy, sad, sick person. He is freaky and creepy. I DO miss the illusion I carried around in my head for four years - the illusion of someone I refused to believe was THAT disordered, I was too busy wondering why he didnt love me, and why he loved her, and what was wrong with me that he turned into such a monster. He didnt turn into anything, he was ALWAYS a sick twisted human being.

His biggest mistake he made with me was taking me down from that pedestal he once had me on. I am a woman that will never settle for anything less, I belong on that pedestal with any man I choose to have a relationship with, I WILL NOT be taken down from that pedestal and be treated like all the other women he has done this to and I think he got that message loud and clear these past three months. I put myself BACK on that pedestal and now I can look DOWN upon all the sick, disordered individuals that walk the earth and say, mmmmm I PASS, you are not GOOD ENOUGH for me keep on walking.

LOVE this post! This is so

LOVE this post! This is so great to hear and I am so happy for you. :) This is what I needed to hear. Because as I am finally embarking and committed to real NC, it's great to know what it will start to look and feel like. I hope that you also reach a point where you no longer care to even tell him how disturbed he is. At least that he where I want to be. Never look back indeed - move forward with your beautiful amazing new wiser and stronger self and hold your head up high. You are absolutely right. You deserve better! :) Thank you for your post and updating us. It helps all of us who are struggling with NC.

Beautifully said. You have

Beautifully said. You have always been up on that pedestal to us, as are all the wonderful ladies on here. We may have lost our way for a while and succumbed to that evil which we were not aware existed, but we will all come out stronger, wiser and higher up on that pedistal than ever before. I salute you neverlookback, your name speaks the absolution that we all find eventually :) xxx

Neverlookback

thank you for this post. I am 4 months NC and the majority of the time I feel so much better too... I still have my low moment. in this weather particularly, I wonder who he is having those nice lunches with, in what pub gardens....who is buying into the bullshit.... However, like you, I got away....I have made it clear that I do not want any contact, not hear the sound of his voice and never see him again... so far so good.... So back on the pedestal, to never be brought down again. Stay up there forever.... and the duckling that I felt I was has turned into a swan Peace and love Dx

good for you

I know exactly the hardship it was for you making that choice, its so much confusion and pain to work thru - who is buying into his bullshit? The ones he wears a mask for thats who, I never never for one minute blamed myself for falling for him, and believing the life he wanted us to have, I was NEVER stupid, I was just dealing with a psychopath and this is what they do they fool even the experts, it quit scary when you really stop to think about it. It took so much work to get back up on that pedestal but i dont need a man to put me there, I did it myself and I certainly dont need validation from a mentally sick person to see that I am worthy. Dont ever go back and dont ever look back upon that sickness that was once in your life. Proud of you, I know the work it took x0x0x0x0

That's exactly how I feel. I

That's exactly how I feel. I wonder who is buying into the bullshit. But I do know that the truth always comes out. The Narcs didn't change. We are the ones who wised up to their ways. I've accepted that he was like that from day #1 and was just a master at hiding it. I'm the one who has changed, for the better :)

They do not change

i'm gonna have to learn to enjoy pub gardens without IT.... But yes itis hard work and exhausting , particularly putting a brave face on it at work... One of my female bosses at work saw me the other day, she was gently mocking that I had been on some secret diet because I have lost 40 pounds and she said I look disgustingly gorgeous (LOL) I said above every silver lining there is a cloud you know, I am after all "severely depressed and acutely anxious" ( official diagnosis) She said you're not... are you? cos if you are, you are hiding it very well.... I said yes, I am..... exhausting....
