					<description><![CDATA[I got online to stop thinking about him. I am so relieved I found your video. I have answers or at least a better understanding why I am crushed he doesn&#039;t want me and then confused when he does want me.  And why I care so much. I don&#039;t feel like I can function without him. Everytime we hit a boiling point and I can&#039;t take how I am being treated I snap or get quiet and push him away. Once I get this I can&#039;t eat or sleep then spend energy, effort and time trying to get back to him. Again and again and again. I have so little self esteem left. And also blinders on bc I can&#039;t see any other way living. I know it&#039;s madness but I can&#039;t stop. I am having a really hard time right now. I need to rewatch this video. It had a lot of information I need to hear again]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This was very helpful.  I just recently started reading about dematha. I ve tormenting myself my whole life believing I was giving without expecting something back. I couldn&#039;t understand how people could do and treat me the way they did and how dare they. I was expecting something. I expected them to treat me as I treated them. Now I still treat people with kindness and compassion I just do it because that what makes me happy. That where Iget my joy. I don&#039;t expect them to make me happy which is selfish of me to put on someone else. I&#039;m soooooo much happier and a peace with myself. thanks you]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[aren&#039;t these articles available in PRINT?   I have severe hearing loss and it&#039;s so tiring trying to &#039;hear&#039; even with subtitles - and - 
I read much better (and faster) than I can listen.   

It&#039;s confusing to see &quot;read these other articles&quot; - only to be led to more videos.  :(]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Holy moly.... I resonate entirely.  And yet haven&#039;t known any of these insights until listening to this.  Thank you!  &#060;3  I&#039;m on the road to recovery from being ensnared by a narc which like most of us I&#039;m sure, had no clue he was that.  Nor did I have any appreciation of what a narc is beyond &#039;someone who loves themselves way too much&#039; 
It is so much more than that, and disturbingly, it can be so very dangerous and wrecking. 

I have been full frontal to a malignant narc.  And I did beat myself up at the time.  I did question myself.  He very much had me feeling I knew nothing of myself but in fact, his needs were paramount and the only requirement between us.

I&#039;m on the upside now.. My next step is cutting him off. 100% cold turkey.  It&#039;s a journey and I&#039;ll walk that long road

Thank you once again]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I was watching this because I am an empath married to a narcissist. But as I watch this, I realize that my husband may be an unhealed empath. His mother is for sure a narcissist as well as his grandmother. His grandma raised him for the first 5 years. Then his alcoholic mother raised him after. His mother is such a victim of her mother. It’s a crazy family dynamic.]]></description>

Hi Sonia,

you are very welcome.

That is so great that you are focused now on healing you and that you are coming out of the trane and into your True life!

It is SO worth doing the inner work to get there. 

Bless you.

Hi Mel
Just before Christmas I came across your website via Pinterest and have signed up for the 16 day recovery course.  So much of what you have explained relates to a 20 year relationship with someone who has what is generally termed a personality disorder.  I have tried to leave and even got as far as Court this year, which he didn’t attend, so a further court date was set and in that time the pressure was on, turning him into someone who and did change over the following months enough fo mr to feel I could no longer go to court so cancelled.  I would not say that he is a narcissistic person, but so many of the characteristics describe him.  The only thing that doesn’t fit this personality is that he is not a womaniser, or have a self inflated ego, if anything he has very low self esteem, but I can relate so much to what you say about empaths and realise I have been feeding his behaviour.  I am a Christian and believe very strongly in the power and healing through Jesus teaching and the power of the Holy Spirit.  I just can’t seem to be strong enough to pull away from this toxic marriage and relate so much to what others have to say.]]></description>
