When the narc's minions finally believe you!

I won't always make so many threads. lol But had to share this bit of news. So, as you all know, most of you know, I went NC with the n's and my 'mutual' friends. It was for the best. They just wanted to drum up drama. Gossip...you know what I'm talking about, if you have mutual friends with your ex's. That said, I remember feeling so alone about at the two month mark...maybe three. (It's been over 4 months since our breakup) Like no one believed what I was telling them about the ex N. I never labeled him, nor name called him, but I told the truth about how he treated me...how we truly ended. I was told by a few that he made up the ending to the story...so be it. But, now that I have healed...I no longer care if they believe me or not. I know what happened. I remember telling a friend...''I know, what I know.'

Fast forward to today. I got a text from someone I went NC with, someone who at every turn, wanted to tell me about the ex N. She told me today, that he embarassed her on his FB page, insulted her...and her bf. Basically a word war started on his FB page, between my friend, her bf and the ex N. The narc's words were heartless...cold...horrible...when I read them, it sent chills up my spine as remembering how horrible those words were when directed at me. I did not write her back, everyone. And I won't. I can't explain it, but there's a coldness in me now. And it's not all bad. It's necessary. I don't want these people in my life. I think she shared this with me, as her way of saying...I believe you, now.

I do feel for her, but it's interesting...guess she never thought he would hurt her. So, things do come around full circle.

ps--If this all wasn't so sad, it would make a great comedy screenplay. Can't believe I dated this guy. I really can't. The things that come out of his mouth...horrible. Calling people hurtful names; in hearing this story, it's even low for him. THEY NEVER CHANGE!!!

Interesting things are taking

Interesting things are taking place in narc-land. Lol Got another text earlier today, from a different friend than the last girl. This guy was truly a minion. I’d actually dare say the girl who told me that the ex N was badmouthing her and her bf on FB, would have called herself his friend. I never replied to her, btw. I feel bad for her, but I don’t want any more dialogue about the narc. THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE I TALK ABOUT ANYTHING RELATED TO THE NARC. And I want to keep it that way. This is a place for healing, and the ‘friends’ are not interested in my healing. That said, another friend texted me. He said that on the website the ex N and his pals created recently, seems to be that many are taking potshots at the ex N. And no one is rushing to his defense like on the other website we were on together. (I didn't join this one he mentioned) He texted…’’dee, I know you won’t write me back, but I know you’re smiling reading this. You were 100% right about him. I feel shitty for not taking your side.’’ If that’s closure, I’ll take it! Just sharing…as narc-land turns. I didn’t reply to this guy, but he’s right. I did smile reading that! :=) lol!

I've seen minions twist the knife in your heart

I once broke up with a man that I now believe was a narc. Not long after we broke up, I was out at a pizza parlor having lunch, a bunch people came in and started talking really loud! At first, I didn't pay much attention, but since I couldn't avoid hearing their voices, it suddenly dawned me they were talking about ex-bf for my "benefit". On and on they prattled about how happy he was now, great his life was going with his ex-wife, on and on praising the moron. I had a feeling they were trying to get a reaction from me. But I kept my dignity intact. I finally left, but there has been other incidents of people trying to do dirty work for their "friends" I was formerly close to. Makes no sense to me. I don't get it. Why try to hurt someone who is trying to peacefully move on with dignity? It was all so stupid and pointless IMO.

at the end of the day, water seeks its own level. sad, but true. many of the minions are mean spirited folks like the ex N. They would have to be somewhat mean spirited...to have the guy as a friend, and find him remotely entertaining. But, the irony is, shortly after we broke up...so many of them rallied on my side. Oh, Dee...he's a bad guy, bla bla. Then, after about a month or so, they took his side...and then...eventually, they played both sides. I decided to get off that merry go round, and just ignore them all. I am not normally like this, but to protect myself from any further pain, I don't want them in my life. But, in a strange way...this showed me...that now, maybe they will see him for what he is. thanks soapergirl for sharing your story. what goes around comes around. if people sit around mocking and gossiping about others for sport, they shouldn't be surprised when the laugh is on them someday.

Getting the last laugh

I was assumed to be one of the ex-Psych prof's minions over 4 years. People (logically) assumed that. You spend a lot of time with someone, and people come to conclusions. The ex-P would trash his colleagues&his students (my fellow classmates) to me... and he was kinda shocked that I didn't do the same. I NEVER badmouthed my professors to him. It always shocked him that I DEFENDED them. Once, I went to the Dean's office (along with a bunch of other students) to defend a prof to get tenure... and the ex-P thought I was totally crazy. THe ex-P would trash his students, and I made my disapproval KNOWN. I didn't just let it slide. I would NOT trash my students at the elementary school. The ex-P idolized Ludwig Wittgenstein, who'd complain to his fellow professors at Cambridge about his "stupid students" (even his mentor, Bertrand Russell, came to have NOTHING to do with him) Even during the final D&D, when the ex-P launched his smear campaign claiming I was hitting on him, I didn't trash talk him to his colleagues. His actions spoke for themselves. Reducing a student to tears in public repeatedly says PLENTY. Of course, the ex-P could NOT deal with it when the senior skit (that traditionally parodies the professors) mocked HIM. He got up and RAN.* *I didn't let the opportunity pass me by. I told him how much he missed out, and gave him an instant recap of the key scene ridiculing HIM.

I found support from complete strangers by going public

The past six months are not something I would have wanted or chosen if I could have, but I did want to mention when I put my narc on a cheating website to warn OW - a strange thing happened. Suddenly I found complete strangers voicing kind words of support, warmth and validation. They saw him for exactly what he was a lot sooner than I did, and although they did not know me, made me feel accepted, cared out, and comforted. I will always appreciate the many people who have supported me (including here) during the past six months. They offered words of kindness and friendship at a time I so desperately needed it. It made my healing complete so much faster!

LMAO! I just read this, SG! Hilarious! You put him on a cheating website? How did you go about that exactly? I’m not going to do this, for I’ve washed my hands of the whole thing. But, how funny that you did this. I'm glad a positive thing came of it for you.

Yes, I put him on a cheater AND player website

The cheater website came online just about the time my narc and I broke up as luck would have it. As the founder of Cheaterville would say, the narc has proved to be one of their most popular postings. I forget now how I found the site...I think it was one of those side bar advertisements, I clicked on, looked for him on it, he wasn't there, then I registered online and posted him. For some reason, it's been kind of a sad blues day thinking about the narc, his OW, what is now, what could have been, the phoniness and falseness of our "relationship"...wondering why this had to happen. It'll pass, tomorrow I'm sure will be much better!

A Professor Rating Website

It's taken about TWO YEARS... and no, I haven't been going there religiously.... to simply have the ex-Psych prof's name posted. No reviews have been posted. YET. I haven't posted reviews of him at popular professor ratings websites... but the fact that his name is FINALLY posted, relief at last! Now students can contribute. I haven't said anything about him... and the great thing with this website is one can review professors with one's real name, fake name or anonymously. I posted a glowing review of my senior thesis advisor, as well as my senior lab professor. As for the ex-P, former students of the past 11 years are free to have their say!

What Goes Around, Comes Around and Voodoo Bites!

Thanks Dee. I think you are right. We may not always see it in action, but with these people and the narcs, I really do believe that eventually, what goes around, comes around - and karma will bite these people in the butt big time! I was watching this show on biggest curses, like The Hope Diamond, U.S. Presidents dying early deaths who were elected in years ending in 0. William McKinley 1900, Franklin Roosevelt 1940, John Kennedy 1960 for example. Among the last segment was going to New Orleans and exploring the "Voodoo" religion. One Voodoo Priestess said she declines to put harmful curses on anyone for clients, because they believe that asking for harm on someone is invite evil into your own life. (I'm Thankful I've completely gotten past all that now!) I have come to believe if you send evil out into the world, it just may come right back at you. Thankfully, even when I prayed for harm against my ex-narc, I also added, I was just feeling hurt and angry, and for help to get past those vengeful feelings - not for his benefit, but for mine! So, I did get past all that anger. So, I think the minions of narcs that pull this kind of crap, eventually, their own evil will come back to bite them in the butt! I'm not going to wish it on them, but they are doing it to themselves and have no one else to blame for being that stupid and gullible by doing the things they do for the narc.

I agree with everything you say here. I never wanted harm to befall him or the minions. I did however say to God…’’I just want them to see what he truly is.’’ That’s all I wanted. And finally. People are starting to see it. I think the BIGGEST hurdle I had to get over with this whole thing, wasn’t leaving the narc. It was that they are so ‘gifted’ at convincing people that this one or that one are bad. They could be dating/married/friends with someone one minute, and the very next…have an army of people believing the person is now bad. But, if you hang out with a narc long enough…he’ll/she’ll burn you. Sort of like playing with fire. Not something I’d recommend doing. But, these friends of his need to learn these lessons on their own. I tried warning them.

"Bless those that curse you"

Interesting... I went to Mass on Saturday night, and one of the prayer intentions was for those who've been abused&betrayed by those in positions of trust(!!!) It spoke to me. No wonder I said, "Lord, hear our prayer." I went to a church this morning, and the reading was from St. Paul's letter to the Romans. He tells the Romans "Bless those who curse you. Be hospitable to your enemies, so that you may heap burning coals upon their heads." In a twisted way, being KIND and BLESSING the Narc, is the WORST one can do! The reading also contained "Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord"-the epigram that the MAJOR Narc, Leo Tolstoy used, in his opening of "Anna Karenina." There's a New Agey store here in my town... and they follow the Threefold Rule. If you do something, it rebounds back on you three times. They have spellcasting kits. Of course, they see curses as serious business. No wonder I told the ex-Psych prof after the final D&D that I was BLESSING him&his girlfriend for the sake of GOOD karma. Hamlet said "I must be cruel in order to be kind." But with Narcs, one must be kind in order to be cruel... because they PREFER the cruelty. I can only wonder how the ex-P reacts when I've wished him&his wife a happy, successful personal&professional life. He WANTED to be despised. He craved it. And THAT'S what I dish out???

Oh my, that is exactly what I

Oh my, that is exactly what I am going through right now..I feel isolated even by the so called closest friends!.. I feel depressed and dissapointed..had a talk with an old friend, who kept telling me stuff about ex N and his gang, and updates. And she told me I imagined everything, and "interpret" too much of him..And after telling her all that stuff, I see recently she even liked something on his profile!.. I felt so low and devalued..like, even these people that are suppossed to "know" me, don`t understand how much this person affected me, and how much he meant to me, made me wonder if I totally lost it..if I gone paranoia eliminating friends of his, ow and stuff.. It`s hard because I feel now even the so called closest people don`t understand and look at me like a loonatic..I can`t and won`t talk to them about this anymore. Could have I imagined all the pain?..all the knifes and double crosses?.. And if I did, why did it hurt so much?..I feel a little confused now, but thank you very much for your post.

You're not imagining the pain. No, you're not. On some level, these people...these ''friends...'' honestly don't know that who they're dealing with is a narcissist. I had no idea what narcissism truly was, until coming to this site. But, at the same time, they still should have your back. Bringing up your ex to you is not nice, nor helpful. There are people in life who thrive off drama...until it happens to them. Going NC was the best thing I ever did, not only with the ex N...but with all the supposed friends. It really has been the key thing that's led me to peace.

Lucky

I guese I am lucky. My N had absolutely no friends. Everyone saw through her when I didn't. The only reason they came around was because of me. These were people I did not know until I met her. WOW, what does that say? They all told me, post D&D, that they were hoping she had changed because I was so wonderful so they did not tell me. ZThanks a lot !
