Narcissistic abuse surviver

Narcissistic abuse surviver

Why do Narcissistic Abuse Survivors continue to come across or attract narcissits every where they go?

I am convinced the Principal of my daughters school is a Narcissit after today's meeting with him where he tried to Guilt & Shame me about keeping my daughter home from school on Doctors Advice until she goes for her mental health assessment- he tried to gas light me in order for me to REACT in anger to what he was saying- I did not- I kept my cool because I was recognising the signs- in order to distract from a LIE he told me that I caught him out on & told him I don't believe him & he tried to patronise me every time I spoke, saying "JO-come on!" As if what I was saying was crazy & so much more that I can't recall right now as I'm exhausted- but he did get angry when I told him he was trying to persuade me that what my daughter is saying-( she is scared of her teachers, doesn't feel safe in class) was NOT HAPPENING- because he is so charming & good looking you kind of just go into a trance when he talks & accepts whatever he says- but today I was seeing through his charm & who he really was & was calling him out on it & he did not like that one bit-

So why do we continue to attract Narcs if we've been seriously abused our whole life by them- ? Is it the energy we give off?-( I heard this)- or are we just more easily able to recognise them & they are everywhere? 😭

My poor daughter I really don't know what to do for her- stay or go?😭🌺👸🏻💖

Hello 👋🏼 @Faith-and-Hope thank you for the welcome.

I want to be able to tell my truth and not cry. I wonder how I get to be there?

Hi there @Glisten ,

Be yourself. Give yourself time to heal. Practice self-compassion and know that you deserve the best.

Over time, as you engage in the above, the will come a point where you can say what you need to and feel empowered by it.

I've done it. So can you.

That's what we are all here for.

These forums were a godsend to me when I was in some of my lowest times.

I hope you find forums helpful too @Glisten .

Most, if not all, here have had their fair share of experiences. These experiences help us grow. Sharing them can help us grow.

I'm here if you need a chat.

You take a healing journey @Glisten. No contact (if it’s possible), the passage of time, lots of self-care including friends and laughter. Take it in baby steps and just “keep swimming” ❣️

Re: Narcissistic abuse surviver

Hi @Serenity1 this post was quite a while ago. I was wondering how you progressed? I was abused by a narcissist for 13 years then discarded. It has taken 9 months of self help to realise how compliant he made me. I have a LOT counselling and therapy ahead.
