Leaving a narcissist can be a challenging and emotionally draining experience. Narcissists can be extremely manipulative and controlling and may use a variety of tactics to try to keep you under their control. Here are some things you can expect when leaving a narcissist:
- Resistance and denial: When you first try to leave a narcissist, they may try to convince you that you’re making a mistake, that you’ll regret it, or that you’re overreacting. They may also deny that there’s anything wrong with the relationship or that they’re doing anything wrong.
- Emotional manipulation: Narcissists may use guilt, shame, and fear to try to get you to stay. They may try to make you feel like you’re responsible for their happiness or that you’re abandoning them if you leave.
- Gaslighting: Narcissists may try to convince you that your perceptions and feelings are wrong or that you’re crazy or unstable. They may deny things they’ve said or done, or try to make you doubt your own memory. This is done purposely to keep you destabilized and in the Fear, Obligation, and Guilt (FOG) cycle.
- Retaliation: Narcissists may become angry or vengeful when you try to leave them. They may try to hurt you emotionally or financially, or spread rumors about you to damage your reputation.
- Initial feelings of relief: Despite the difficulties of leaving a narcissist, many people report feeling a sense of relief when they finally do leave. This may be because they’re no longer under the narcissist’s control, or because they’re finally able to prioritize their own needs and well-being.
- Healing process: After leaving a narcissist, it’s important to focus on your own healing process. Spiritual ICU & deliverance help you HEAL!
