How To Recover From Narcissistic Abuse

I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with narcissists for longer than I’d like to admit. My father is a narcissist. He would routinely use guilt, shame, and his version of logic to manipulate my emotions. Causing me to doubt my worth, abilities, and even my own memories. Because of my attachment disorders and my father's (and mother’s) abuse, when I ventured out into the world of dating I found another narcissist. Together, we had a child. A child who he would emotionally abuse with his own narcissistic behaviors.

Dealing with narcissists isn’t easy. It’s no walk in the park when you don’t know they’re narcissists and it’s much more difficult once you realize they are. The emotional damage the relationship has on wellbeing is overwhelming. You’ll begin to doubt yourself — every part of your being. From your appearance and clothing choices to your thoughts and actions. You’ll begin to lose yourself and become a people pleaser. You’ll walk on eggshells trying not to do anything the narc disapproves of. So you can avoid their wrath and be good enough for them.
