True, but at least we know who we are. And it means we are living our life with grace and beauty. Something damaged people will never have. So, we have to be grateful and thank God he made us so beautiful ❤️
You’ve come a long way brother Andrew 💪🏾🙌🏽🙌🏽 first video I’ve seen you start to cry in💙 you are so much stronger now and forever grateful for all you do and did for me and my children to get me through the discard and healing journey 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Good Morning Andrew! The day I said goodbye to the narc (10.05.22), was the day I cleaned house and said goodbye to many others. I changed my number, email, no longer on social media platforms and have not looked back. The emotional rollercoaster is real and it's not easy, but this is a gift to myself. I've cried here and there, but not for long. A fake friend is worse than an open enemy.
That is so awesome cause I really have such a strange relationship with my ex goodbye seems to be til the next note or text or email. Its important to end it somehow formally.
Valerie, I'm not going to lie, it is not going to be easy, but I can tell you that, not to long from now, you will realize how strong you are, and trust me, that is a beautiful thing. Stay strong, stay blessed.
@empathrising Thanks for sharing and I agree 💯. It's something I can't wrap my head around it. The narc I was involved with always kept me at arms length. I ignored all of the red flags, because I only wanted to see good. It really messed me up and than he tried bringing his ex into the picture. I was done. When the mask fell off, the monster was real. Glad to be healing.
I begged twice for having one last conversation with him. I already told him it's not for coming back together but for clarification. He declined twice with the most brutal words.
Oh my darling. As a mother of a boy like you, I send you my love, hugs & blessings. God loves you, He will never forsake you, all things as possible to HIM those who believe his promises. He has a better plan for you. Amen.
💔 Heart broken for you Andrew, but you have 104k people with you who you helped along the way and will continue to. I’m so glad I found you and your channel. 💋
A loss is hard no matter what, I will pray for you Andrew. You have helped me and many others. My heart goes out to you. Stay strong and stay healthy. God will see you through.
Right after I was discarded, you were the first person who really encouraged me to feel and express my feelings. That was my most important part of healing. Please give yourself the room to feel the loss you are grieving. So sorry you're hurting.
Me too. At present the only unconditional love I have is from my cockapoo puppy , my Dad and my best friend, both my sister's , my old neighbour and this community, created by Andrew. God bless
Wow, Andrew you are so right about the good 'adult' way to say goodbye not the non goodbye BS we get from the narc. That was the one big thing which eviscerated me, 8.5 years and she simply said 'cheers' and walked away without a backward glance, her into the arms of the next 'perfect' guy she'd been warming up for months, me (happily) on my own, still the toughest thing, 2 days prior her telling me she loved me and me her and now this fucking BS!!!
Andrew, Godspeed to you! I owe you a debt of gratitude. I have been on this journey with you since your first video. Please know that you’re making a real difference… know that you have earned the respect and love of an entire community. A community that you put together. THANK YOU!
Your honesty has really touched my heart in this early morning. You inspire me, you helped heal me my heart goes out to you, and, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.❤
I teared up today watching this in December 2024. This is a very relevant and important message that hopefully will endure through time to help many others. I haven't been with you Andrew from the beginning but have seen many of your videos that span over 3 years and you're personal growth and strength has inspired me greatly! God bless you!
Thank you, Andrew, for everything. Thank you for your kindness, your selfless soul, and your beautiful heart. I think you're amazing. You have helped me through a terrible time. You're one in a million. I've learned a lot from you. Thanks again, Andrew.🙏🏻♡
My heart goes out to you. I recently said goodbye to someone that has proven not to be healthy for me. I believe my tears were coming from the part that felt good and, was good....just not good enough to make me want to stay past all the pain they have caused. It was healthy to cry. Thank you for sharing, and I really enjoy your videos🥰💛
Ohhhh this is before you moved... WOW. Yeah, leaving an entire region really drives "no going back from here " home. I'm so sorry. Because you had to tangibly say goodbye to your entire dream, whereas my goodbye to mine took years of metaphorical goodbye. I cannot even IMAGINE. sending a hug 4 months back in time for you!
That pain. Has not eased for me. And I don't think it ever will. I considered them my own. And I had anticipated being with them for the rest of their lives.
I exited without a goodbye took the cat with me and that was that. But some of his flying monkeys did call me to tell me how miserable he was doing. That's what a coward he is and was.
We love you, Andrew. You’ve given us all hope and our lives back in more ways than one. I felt the same way post-relationship. I never cried over a relationship before but I happened to last year. But the narc didn’t shed a tear for me, she made it about herself. I was the one wiping her tears, or their tears, yet I wish people were more empathic and reciprocal by nature. Now it’s like I’m allergic to narcissism. I walk away from bad situations sooner & easier, I think more logically, I don’t let temporary feelings overrun the reality which is that We Are Free. You’re a bright shining light Andrew, the world needs more people like you. It’s ok to cry. It’s ok to laugh. It’s ok to be human. No crime in that. Again I’m always grateful for the daily videos you put out. Perhaps there is something else more than can be learned but I went through emotional, financial, physical, mental abuse, the “love” bomb, devaluation, flaking, ghosting gaslighting, blame-shifting, monkey-branching all within a year. Like you say, the narcissist’s mask slips all the time and they’re frustrated we see the narcissists for who they really are. Energy-zappers, takers, unlovable, abusers. Anyways, I’m grateful for all that I’ve learned even from your channel alone. God Bless You, Andrew. Namaste 🙏🏼 🌞 🌳 🌸 🌺 🌊 😌.
It is five in the morning here in Australia and I am watching this and this is weirdly coincidental as this morning I am meeting my husband for to say goodbye. I am not nervous about it thanks to watching your videos all year. You have given me the strength and courage. All comments from other survivors have given me the support I needed when no one around me understood what I was going through. Thankyou, Andrew, best wishes for your new life and here's to all of us who have shared along the way with you. 🤝❤🇦🇺
Yes, never easy but we are in this together in prayers . I knew something was not okay for you for the last few days. Sending my virtual hug to you and God bless
The power of goodbye is the most powerful concept I have heard. A lifetime of “ get out”, just let it go, ghosting, death, “wait and see”, Process it… on and on… The power of goodbye could have been sacred and respectful… I have never experienced that at over 70…. I am weeping. Thank you Anrew for this message.
I felt your pain...you're strong for being vulnerable. It takes alot to be genuine with your emotions and stop wearing masks. I know it hurts so much not having a closure but like you said its a challenge to do it alone and move on peacefully. Its feels so good when you finally do it and know that there are more relationships, more bonds with other individuals further in the road. Beautiful video! 💛
I wish someone had told me this when I was young. Thank you so much for the insightful explanation and encouragement, Andrew. I hope you also get the strength by sharing the experience. Be close to God. He will heal all the wounds. Let go of the past. There are billions of people in the world. If one left, a thousand will appear and be ready as the replacement. Believe and have hope in the future. There is a proverbs that says "there's no use crying over the spilt milk". Be optimistic that there is rainbow 🌈 waiting if you let go of the rain. God bless you 🙏🏻🎉
Oh my God, its good to feel pain with another genuinely sensitive honest human being. You've got me crying, I've been tough because I needed to be strong. I know that I buried the pain of unsaid goodbyes, just to try and protect myself from the fear of feeling abandoned. Now I need to face my own pain. Andrew you not alone we're all here for each other. Together we will heal and go on even on broken legs with broken hearts. Love and Light will carry us through. God Bless folks. Namaste.
Andrew, you are a very brave, kind and genuine person. We need more people like you. As you share your painful experience, you are helping thousands of people. Including myself. Personally speaking on my similar experience, I remember breaking down while driving when I had to make life changes and say goodbye to shared friends and family with my ex. At times the pain was so overwhelming that I’d pull out on the side of the road and just sob profoundly. I felt so alone and it hurt so much. However, I noticed that every time I had a breakdown, I’d recover faster than before. When your going through this it’s hell. The beautiful thing about it is that you will heal and it will get better. Thank you for your valuable information and for all that you do.🙏🏼
Oh Andrew my heart goes out to you. Sounds like you are moving. Your tears at the end broke my heart. I’ll be thinking of you and please take care of yourself. Look forward to seeing you tomorrow. 💞💪🏻
Hi Dorothy, it does feel like your heart will break, all you want to do is to somehow make all the pain and sorrow go away...but we can hold tight together and slowly move through this dark night of the soul. Long time ago my grand mother would say that your tears the best part of us for we show our humanity in them for another person and this is at once the pain and the joy we feel. 🐥
Thank you for your amazing channel Andrew. You are helping me soo much get through my narcissistic marriage. And thanks to you I now share your words and videos to my dear niece who is also going through a very traumatic narcissistic marriage and hopefully we both will be able to escape them physically. She is at the Starr of her journey, meaning realising who he actually is and was throughout there marriage, I am coming out of the dark tunnel at last, 3 long years it's taken me to grieve, but no more. I have gone no contact completely with him and regained myself in the process. Thank you for your videos Xxxxx
Andrew, a very heartfelt message and right on the money as usual. You also are not alone, you have brought strength to so many with your messages.. I hope you understand that every last one of us appreciate you and what you do.. and are sending this strength back to you. Stay blessed sir.
I know this video is a year old but seeing you upset made me cry..VIRTUAL HUG! Keep letting your light shine Andrew! 😢 You are doing more for us than you know..I just wish we could do more for you.
Oh, Andrew for all the times that you’ve been there for us, which is every day, I wish I could give you a big hug to try to help ease your pain with what you are going through right now. I can send you my love and many prayers for better, healing days ahead of you. Much love to you, my friend. God bless you. ❤️
I wasn't expecting this video today Andrew 😢You have so much humility, you know not how much you Fly with the Wings of Angels and Touch Heaven with your Love. Sending virtual hugs to you and all our community 🤗
Dear Andrew, I am sorry you are going through this. I just put up a prayer to God for you, may the days ahead bring you peace and more understanding. You are a wonderful person, and we love you and thank you for ALL you do for us. This too shall pass, my friend. 🙏❤️
Dearest Andrew, you are an amazing loving man and I’m so sorry for your pain thru this video you shared with us! Another lesson you have taught and shared with us!! Thankyou so much!!!! 😘😘 God Bless you everyday to keep you safe and Happy!!!🙏🏻😘🌈
Dearest Andrew, a good cry is as healing as a good laugh. It clears out cobwebs and debris that have been clogging up emotional progress. Unfortunately no matter how much preparation we anticipate, the reality is always different. The fear of loss always outweighs the joy of gain. Be sure to be gentle and kind to yourself these next few months, as no doubt there will be more tears. Surround yourself with good hearted positive people. May God bless and be with you, we are all here for you dear One 🙏
Oh Andrew I feel your pain 😢. I still shed a tear at the thought of the people I never got to say goodbye to. All of this down to my narcissistic brother. Walked away in 2019. Only this year having connected to your teaching has it all become clear. It was the right decision to walk away. I just hope that one day the people I didn’t get the chance to say goodbye to will understand. Sending you the biggest of hugs! Thank you and take care of u! 😎💕
We love you too Andrew!! You are strong, you are powerfully, you are a WOUNDED HEALER!! The time is coming when you will look back at your journey and realized how EVERY situation is working for your good! God is even right now restoring to you everything that the locus has eaten!! You will be blessed with one of the most beautiful relationship ever…Beauty for ashes. It’s quite obvious that you are a loving person and the good Lord will make sure that it’s not wasted! As you continue to bless us, you will continue to experience your inner healing. You remind me of Jesus when he was on the cross suffering…He did not wait until he was resurrected, but while he was in agony on the cross He cried out, “Father forgive them!” You are strong, loving, powerful and influential!! The best is yet to come!!🙏
Another brilliant video , Andrew 🙏 Isn't it also sad that because of the trauma bond the narc inflicts on us over time we loose sight of the fact that we always had the power to say goodbye ! Thank you SO much for all the incredible support , advice , and the constant encouragement you have given to so many to take back their truth and reality and finally pluck up the courage to walk away ! The true power was ALWAYS in our hands , and with your help we will hopefully never lose sight of that again , big nameste , my good friend 💪🙏😎
Andrew, this rings true to your message that the healing path is not linear for any of us, regardless of how much information we have. Good souls feel pain. My hope for you and everyone is to keep moving forward. As you tell us everyday Andrew, “thank you very much for being here.” ❤
I’m so sorry for what you’re going through. I pray for your healing and comfort. Your videos have helped me tremendously, in getting through a horrific time in my life.I wish there was something I could do to help you in return. I’m thankful you are who you are, and that you’re here with us. I hope your heart is healing daily. ❤
As painful as it is saying goodbye in anyway is the reassurance that we have lived our life's the way we choose to, with love and peace in our hearts. Big hugs to you! Your words help me so much! 🙏❤️
Saying GOODBYE is a gift. Say goodbye to toxic people. Saying Goodbye to someone you love is forever. Thank you Andrew for all you give to us. We love you back. ♥️ I couldn' t have made it without my creator. I give honor to God. Andrew your channel and some a few others have given me strength to press on. A lot of us couldn't afford the cost of therapy. Your channel is a blessing. You are real and genuine. If I known you in person. We were could've been good friends. If it wasn't for the narc. I wouldn't have known who my real friends were. I lost several people who was always there to take from me. Never gave as much as they took. I'm happier. Listening to you gives me comfort. I have stronger boundaries. We all are healing. Thank you for taking the time to greet us daily with a healing podcast. Healing takes time. I visited my 78 yo aunt. We cried. We didn't want to stop hugging each other. I felt I wasted too much time with the narc. I could've been enjoying my time with her. I'm not going to waste anymore time with the wrong people. Thank you Andrew. Much ♥️.
To everyone who wrote about the love and caring for Andrew , for all of us, thank you. Saying goodbye, forever, is a hard thing to think about because it means forever. But to move on , we have to. Hard truths. It's being sincere to yourself. The ultimate healing of leaving the toxic abuse. Again, thank you Andrew and fellow empaths. We all are the support system for ourselves.
Thank you Sir Andrew for all you do for this community and this planet. Just know the difficult path you’ve had to travel was not in vain. You have genuinely changed lives as you’ve sent forth your words of wisdom and healing to others who are lost and in need. Namaste.🕯
Thank you for your videos Andrew you have been with us throughout your journey and our own. Your videos have helped on a personal level and you feel like my mentor. Seeing you emotional like this breaks my heart and hope you’re ok, we are all here for you giving you a collective hug! 🤗 we love you Andrew ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Good afternoon Andrew. I need to THANK YOU for ALWAYS being here for us. Now we are here for YOU. A broken heart heals in TIME, and it's so hard to say GOODBYE to people we love. One of these days, thanks to you, we WILL BE STRONG and move forward in our lives. You are a Godsend in my heart, and I'm sure this room feels the same about you. GOD BLESS YOU ANDREW...Virtual hug for you! ❤️❤️💙🙏🙏 You are in my prayers.
These predators should go out and sniff at each other, instead of getting confortable onto genuine people who mean good, for God allmighty dwells in them, the meek are His chosen ones never the proud, and true power resides in a virtuous man, not in a clown on a thrown. The home we thought we had together with this person was an illusion, an air bubble, we don't belong with these people, they're not our source of true well-being, maybe we so much invested and were going to, that God Himself, working through their emotional incapacity was sending us an awakening message
As a wonderful soul from Costa Rica often reminds me, you’re not alone ;) I can’t picture what over 100,000 supporters looks like in real life, but we are all real and surrounding you with love. Thank you for sharing on such a tough day and in your always sincere way. Namaste friend 🙏🏼💙
So sorry you have been used and abused and basically left for dead. It hurts me too because I was in a similar situation. We are all healing together and you are loved by many. Seeing you suffering is breaking my heart but I know that now you have overcome and helped many to overcome including me. You are a guardian angel of many of us. ♥
Ah, yes, Andrew, saying goodbye to abusive covert narc is one of the highlights of my entire life. I rented a townhouse in secret, picked up my daughters directly from school, and drove us to new home. For weeks after that, returning home each day from my job, I would sit for a period of time in new home and cry several minutes of literal tears of IMMENSE JOY...I had escaped and I was free!! Thank you, Andrew, for another great lesson. And I'm praying for your quick recovery from whatever prompted your recent sadness.
Quit my jobb because of a female N. My substitute who had to walk aside for two days, was totally caught up with her charismatic personality and beauty. When they were flirtig I went out closed the door to the small office, smiled and thought "poor bastard". My goodbye was a written messege. Good luck to your both, take care. No hugging for me. But a lot of hugs for my other loving collgues.
My heart feels for you because I’m getting ready to do this. Andrew, just know that watching you reminds me that it can and will be done. This will open up a new chapter. ❤
Andrew, very nice getting to know you and your raw honesty. I was blessed enough to come across your videos in the best timing. One video just builds upon the next and is helping me from going into full blown self disruct . Im keeping in mind not expressing too much like you've shared in many videos many of us empaths tend to do . I feel I'm so exhausted taking in a new way of living, learning and loving but im forging onward . thank you- Namaste ❤
Andrew, feel our hugs. Warm warm hugs. We are learning a lot from your posts. Also not just towards the narc but also introspective of what we were/are like towards others. Thank you for being our teacher. This community is growing and gaining strength. 💝🌱🙏
Andrew, I was in the same position as you are now 5 years ago. I had to sell my place in Central America after the discard and went through this moving transition. Quite a heavy experience for me so I think I can relate to how you're feeling. You support so many people each day who are going through some life changing experiences. I hope you know that all of us here support you. Sending you positive thoughts, positive energy, and peace.
Thank you for sharing this raw vulnerability with your TH-cam family! Oh you are such a beautiful soul Andrew...your channel has been so instrumental in helping me get out of this dark chapter with my narcissistic sibling. Your words and messages give me inspiration to keep going forward, even if I dont know where I'll end up. But I agree with you: Goodbyes are there for those who deserve to hear it from us. It is a type of kindness we bestow on the other person. My narc family will not hear these words from again however, as they have shown not just cowardice, but downright demonic energy towards me in past weeks. They have discarded and disowned me, all because I dared to stand up for myself and set a boundary. I don't want reconciliation; if someone that evil and heartless is in my life, I want nothing to do with it and will run as far as i can from it. I want no parts of any dark energy permeating my life. Which is why I'm so grateful for TH-cam and the various online communities of healers and light workers; I would not have the strength to embark on this journey without you. So thank you my friend, and goodbye ....for now🕊
Oh, Andrew, I am so sorry for the pain you are going through. Please know that I will keep you in my prayers everyday. Have a blessed day and stay strong!🙏❤
8.42 pm here in France and sending you a huge amount of love and support like everyone in this community. I cried during my session last time with my therapist because I can feel that I am soon gonna enter a new chapter of my life and then no longer need her support. And I appreciate and respect her so much that it's heartbreaking for me not to have her anymore around me. I feel nostalgic and melancholic just by the thought of that moment. There are those people you would like to have in your life forever but the universe has decided otherwise That's difficult when you have to say goodbye to love ones whoever they are. And I felt that with my future ex husband whom I understood will never change and that I felt I abandonned to save myself. Oh my god, I feel so sad for you, and probably you have been knowing that for quite some times and felt worried to know this will happen. God bless you Andrew. Thank you so much for sharing this authentic self to us.
Andrew, you are being sent a lot of love, light and gratitude for being a beacon of hope for all of us! Your education has helped me personally on a deep level through my healing journey. Just this morning, I was given a message for those times when I replay in my mind the relationship I had with the narc..."I didn't cause it, I can't control it, and it's not my job to cure it." God bless you, Andrew 🙏❣️
Gina, you wrote a beautiful message to Andrew! I will have to remember Andrew's advice you quote for when I think of my relationship with the ex narc. This advice puts the relationship in perspective. Andrew's education and his life experiences he shares with us have certainly been a catalyst for my own growth and healing. Have a blessed day. 🙏 💕
😢 I felt that intensely, having just left last monday. I tried to visit my son on Saturday, and he informed me I was the narcissist. All I could say, was ,Son, you're the next one on his list, locally, here. I had to walk away before he called the cops on me and created a scene. I couldnt believe it. I left the following monday when the narc was at work, and it was so hard to leave my cats. I still worry about them daily. I took a video of the entire house as I left it. Got in my way way overloaded car, and drove a few hundred miles. I cried so many times, and interstate 35 isnt where one needs to be breaking down and crying. I did finally make it to a little plot of land where I can park my car, and find a job. I am still waiting to hear back from the place that was offered to me. Ive slept in my car every night, and the backache isn't fun, but today I decided that all this stuff I carted away from that hellhole was past. Even my dad's art. I have gotten rid of most everything now, so now the slate is clean. And I can maybe lay down in the back seat. The land has 2 well maintained showers/bathrooms, so its really not been too difficult. Emotions are all over the place though. Memories I had forgotten are popping up, and things said that I didnt see clearly then, are worrying me now about my children. I give hugs to all homeless people in this world, but especially those out there doing it with children.😢❤ I'm so so happy I held out till they were grown so at least I had that time with them. Still, its sad. And I dearly miss my grandkids. 😢😢 But, Ill make it. Nothing worth doing is ever easy, and Im a fighter. 17 yrs with cancer has proven my strength to me. And he will never ...nor will my children or anyone else be able to take that away from me. For that, and the wisdom I've received in the process, I am deeply grateful. Thanks Andrew, for the video suggestion. Im so happy for you that you've moved well past this point now. Well done! 👍🌼🌺♥️
Sorry things have been so painful for you Andrew. It is definitely hard to say goodbye to someone important but when the grief eventually subsides the lasting love continues. Sending you a virtual hug from Scotland 🤗and hope you can find peace with time.
Andrew, you are loved and admired by so many for your work and authenticity. Thank you. I cried with you this morning watching you be vulnerable. We understand and YOU are not alone. God bless you and Namaste. Stay strong. We on your channel are getting stronger every day, thanks in a great part to you. 💗🙏💪
Thank you for showing us the enormous range of "good byes" -- it hit me like a ton of bricks why people seek closure and why it's hard to heal from a traumatic event/phase. I never said good bye and so it lingers. Wow! We're all crying with you as we embark on new journey. It feels like one is constantly drowning and gasping for air. A favorite song came to mind -- "Time to Say Goodbye🎵🎶"
Thank you Andrew. You and I are in this journey together! Thank you for gathering the strength to post this video. I had to say goodbye to my narc a month ago. It still hurts. I feel your pain my friend. Sending you a HUGE hug!
Andrew, I’m so sorry I missed this. I was so caught up in repairing my left shoulder , clavicle, tendons neck tears and herniations. I love you to pieces. When you hurt we hurt too. Sending big hugs. You’re a very brave man and I admire you to no end. Prayers and lifting you into high bright beautiful energy. God bless Namaste. You’re awesome
Andrew, my heart goes out to you. I completely understand what you’re saying. I had a monster in my life…couple of them actually. I thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement and speaking about your story, your life. We love you Andrew. You are in my prayers. Sending you a great big hug a real one 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
This is a very important message you shared here. It's very bittersweet to say goodbye to certain people in our lives. Some people really stick with you, in a good way. ☮️❤️🤗
Andrew I felt your pain. I’m sorry that individual mistreated you but I’m so glad you were strong enough to say goodbye and walk away. Backing up your words with action is so powerful when it comes to relationships. Big hug Andrew. 🙏 namaste
Yeah exactly, saying "thank you". That's what a decent human does at the end of a relationship. You are so on point. And we beg for the most common or human things.
Oh Andrew you are so sweet, my heart goes out to you.❤ I’m sure you had a beautiful and wonderful impact on their life and the others you will say goodbye to. Just like you do to us. They will always be in your heart and you in theirs. I appreciate you sharing your genuineness and compassion as the sweet kind person that you are. It’s a blessing to know there are still men who can be real. I pray the presence of The Holy Spirit give you much strength and peace as you walk through these moments. God bless you, I LoveYou. Sending you a big hug ☀️❤️✝️
The hardest thing is that I know there are a few good individuals that I will not be able to say goodbye. I know in the distant future they will know that I did say goodbye, in my spirit and soul, respected their love and their carrying of some of my pain. Andrew, your tears and pain in this video are just a very tiny drop of tears shed and pain felt. We all know that emotional voice, the pain visible, and auditable, I can relate to that deep emotional pain. We all have been there as we can link ourselves to such real deepest feelings and pain you expressed in this video. That sharing touched me ❤ deeply, as i can relate to that, for months now, feeling that soul punishing torment and pain. Andrew, keep doing these videos. You have inspired me and helped me to find my path. You are a blessing sent by our Lord. Thank you, thank you, we share your tears and pain, as you have shared mine and all others on this channel. Namaste and God bless 🙌 🙏 ❤️ 💖 😊
O wow this is raw. I pray to The ALMIGHTY right now to comfort you. I pray you feel it. I remember the agony I felt while my son was in Iraq as a Marine, the tears while writing him letters. I asked him once to take his own arms and hug himself real hard for me because I wasn't there to do so. Please Andrew, hug yourself for all of us. We sit on the other side of your screen and can't do so.
You're right. saying goodbye is a hard event to accept sometimes. It is a journey that has to be done. My heart goes out to you Andrew. It's an emotional feeling. I'm a hugger and I'm giving you a huge hug. We understand. 🤗❤️
Thank you for being human. You are helping so many people all over the world, hopefully that all our reactions to you are helping you to. Love from the Netherlands.
The worst part of having empathy....sometimes it hurts so deeply you feel you can't breathe.
Blessings, Andrew. You are not alone...
True, but at least we know who we are. And it means we are living our life with grace and beauty. Something damaged people will never have. So, we have to be grateful and thank God he made us so beautiful ❤️
that is so true
I know. Ur beautiful. Diaphragmatic breathing.... check it out 😮
In the moment it hurts so much… 😢❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
Yup!
You’ve come a long way brother Andrew 💪🏾🙌🏽🙌🏽 first video I’ve seen you start to cry in💙 you are so much stronger now and forever grateful for all you do and did for me and my children to get me through the discard and healing journey 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
😌😌💯🙏❤️
Good Morning Andrew! The day I said goodbye to the narc (10.05.22), was the day I cleaned house and said goodbye to many others. I changed my number, email, no longer on social media platforms and have not looked back. The emotional rollercoaster is real and it's not easy, but this is a gift to myself. I've cried here and there, but not for long. A fake friend is worse than an open enemy.
That is so awesome cause I really have such a strange relationship with my ex goodbye seems to be til the next note or text or email. Its important to end it somehow formally.
Valerie, I'm not going to lie, it is not going to be easy, but I can tell you that, not to long from now, you will realize how strong you are, and trust me, that is a beautiful thing. Stay strong, stay blessed.
@empathrising Thanks for sharing and I agree 💯. It's something I can't wrap my head around it. The narc I was involved with always kept me at arms length. I ignored all of the red flags, because I only wanted to see good. It really messed me up and than he tried bringing his ex into the picture. I was done. When the mask fell off, the monster was real. Glad to be healing.
@@kathk3203 It feels so good knowing my ex narc can't contact me.
@@valeriebrown7946 I’m so glad I’m on the healing path too! All thanks to our lovely Andrew 💚
The people who know us, know us, and the ones who don't, don't.
💯💯😉
I begged twice for having one last conversation with him. I already told him it's not for coming back together but for clarification. He declined twice with the most brutal words.
You’re a dear soul! Your videos help me and so many others, tremendously. It’s good having somebody that understands. Thank you for doing what you do.
Welcome always 🙏🙌💯
Oh my darling. As a mother of a boy like you, I send you my love, hugs & blessings. God loves you, He will never forsake you, all things as possible to HIM those who believe his promises. He has a better plan for you. Amen.
Amen 🙏
💔 Heart broken for you Andrew, but you have 104k people with you who you helped along the way and will continue to. I’m so glad I found you and your channel. 💋
❤❤❤ Exactly! Those of us who are empaths literally hurt right along with you, Andrew! We are ALL sending SO MUCH LOVING ENERGY your way right now! ❤❤❤

God Bless You Helen.

Thank you Andrew ... you are a beautiful soul. Sending big hugs to you 🕊️
A loss is hard no matter what, I will pray for you Andrew. You have helped me and many others. My heart goes out to you. Stay strong and stay healthy. God will see you through.
My heart feels your tears😢Namaste, dear Andrew. Rest and tomorrow is a new day, you are so loved by this beautiful community that you have built ❤
Amen!
Amen
❤
Right after I was discarded, you were the first person who really encouraged me to feel and express my feelings. That was my most important part of healing. Please give yourself the room to feel the loss you are grieving. So sorry you're hurting.
Thank you 🙏🙌☀️
Myself as well
Me too. At present the only unconditional love I have is from my cockapoo puppy , my Dad and my best friend, both my sister's , my old neighbour and this community, created by Andrew. God bless
So sorry to see you hurting this way! 🙏🙏❤️
God Bless you Andrew 🙏 ❤ 🙌
Dear Andrew, you are not alone! We all are with you! Now and always! Thank you for beeing yourself ♥
Welcome 🙏🙌☀️
The man who gives us support and help us heal is hurt 😪😥Sending virtual hugs and prayers 🙏
🙌☀️🙏
Know that I'm praying for you and seeing you like this hurts but is so necessary. You are a beautiful person. And my brother.
Goodbyes hurt, Andrew. It doesn't matter if they are for short or long term. My heart goes out to you. Shedding a tear with you.
Thank you 🙏☀️🙌
Big hug to you Andrew. Your vulnerability changes my life for the better and please know this community loves you. God bless you 🙏
🙏🙌☀️
Wow, Andrew you are so right about the good 'adult' way to say goodbye not the non goodbye BS we get from the narc. That was the one big thing which eviscerated me, 8.5 years and she simply said 'cheers' and walked away without a backward glance, her into the arms of the next 'perfect' guy she'd been warming up for months, me (happily) on my own, still the toughest thing, 2 days prior her telling me she loved me and me her and now this fucking BS!!!
I understand completely 🙏🙌😉💯
Andrew, Godspeed to you! I owe you a debt of gratitude. I have been on this journey with you since your first video. Please know that you’re making a real difference… know that you have earned the respect and love of an entire community. A community that you put together. THANK YOU!
Welcome always 🙏🙌☀️
Your honesty has really touched my heart in this early morning. You inspire me, you helped heal me my heart goes out to you, and, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.❤
I teared up today watching this in December 2024. This is a very relevant and important message that hopefully will endure through time to help many others. I haven't been with you Andrew from the beginning but have seen many of your videos that span over 3 years and you're personal growth and strength has inspired me greatly! God bless you!
Thank you, Andrew, for everything. Thank you for your kindness, your selfless soul, and your beautiful heart. I think you're amazing. You have helped me through a terrible time. You're one in a million. I've learned a lot from you. Thanks again, Andrew.🙏🏻♡
My heart goes out to you. I recently said goodbye to someone that has proven not to be healthy for me. I believe my tears were coming from the part that felt good and, was good....just not good enough to make me want to stay past all the pain they have caused. It was healthy to cry. Thank you for sharing, and I really enjoy your videos🥰💛
Welcome 🙏🙌💯
I feel the pain Andrew!!
Your tears break my heart
You are every day there for us! We are there for you!!
A bigg bigg hugg from me for you!!♥️
Thank you 🙌🙏☀️
Ohhhh this is before you moved...
WOW.
Yeah, leaving an entire region really drives "no going back from here " home. I'm so sorry. Because you had to tangibly say goodbye to your entire dream, whereas my goodbye to mine took years of metaphorical goodbye.
I cannot even IMAGINE.
sending a hug 4 months back in time for you!
Could not have been easy to leave the little ones behind. ❤
🙌😌🙏
That pain. Has not eased for me. And I don't think it ever will. I considered them my own. And I had anticipated being with them for the rest of their lives.
Hang in there Andrew. You are so well loved and more love will come to you tenfold. We all on this journey with you and we love you dearly.
Thank you 🙌☀️🙏
I exited without a goodbye took the cat with me and that was that. But some of his flying monkeys did call me to tell me how miserable he was doing. That's what a coward he is and was.
We love you, Andrew. You’ve given us all hope and our lives back in more ways than one. I felt the same way post-relationship. I never cried over a relationship before but I happened to last year. But the narc didn’t shed a tear for me, she made it about herself. I was the one wiping her tears, or their tears, yet I wish people were more empathic and reciprocal by nature. Now it’s like I’m allergic to narcissism. I walk away from bad situations sooner & easier, I think more logically, I don’t let temporary feelings overrun the reality which is that We Are Free. You’re a bright shining light Andrew, the world needs more people like you. It’s ok to cry. It’s ok to laugh. It’s ok to be human. No crime in that.
Again I’m always grateful for the daily videos you put out. Perhaps there is something else more than can be learned but I went through emotional, financial, physical, mental abuse, the “love” bomb, devaluation, flaking, ghosting gaslighting, blame-shifting, monkey-branching all within a year. Like you say, the narcissist’s mask slips all the time and they’re frustrated we see the narcissists for who they really are. Energy-zappers, takers, unlovable, abusers. Anyways, I’m grateful for all that I’ve learned even from your channel alone. God Bless You, Andrew. Namaste 🙏🏼 🌞 🌳 🌸 🌺 🌊 😌.
It is five in the morning here in Australia and I am watching this and this is weirdly coincidental as this morning I am meeting my husband for to say goodbye. I am not nervous about it thanks to watching your videos all year. You have given me the strength and courage. All comments from other survivors have given me the support I needed when no one around me understood what I was going through. Thankyou, Andrew, best wishes for your new life and here's to all of us who have shared along the way with you. 🤝❤🇦🇺
Welcome 🙏🙌☀️🇦🇺
Hugs to you Margaret. We must go on knowing this is the beginning of the beautiful life we’re destined to live.💜
Yes, never easy but we are in this together in prayers . I knew something was not okay for you for the last few days. Sending my virtual hug to you and God bless
The power of goodbye is the most powerful concept I have heard.
A lifetime of “ get out”, just let it go, ghosting, death, “wait and see”, Process it… on and on…
The power of goodbye could have been sacred and respectful… I have never experienced that at over 70…. I am weeping. Thank you Anrew for this message.
I felt your pain...you're strong for being vulnerable. It takes alot to be genuine with your emotions and stop wearing masks.
I know it hurts so much not having a closure but like you said its a challenge to do it alone and move on peacefully. Its feels so good when you finally do it and know that there are more relationships, more bonds with other individuals further in the road. Beautiful video! 💛
Thank you 🙏🙌☀️
The smear campaign was a shock to me. You very accurately describe the feelings I’m going through right now.
😌🙏💯
I wish someone had told me this when I was young. Thank you so much for the insightful explanation and encouragement, Andrew. I hope you also get the strength by sharing the experience. Be close to God. He will heal all the wounds. Let go of the past. There are billions of people in the world. If one left, a thousand will appear and be ready as the replacement. Believe and have hope in the future. There is a proverbs that says "there's no use crying over the spilt milk". Be optimistic that there is rainbow 🌈 waiting if you let go of the rain. God bless you 🙏🏻🎉
Thank you 🙏🙌☀️
There’s still bow lol Okay bad joke. Love what you wrote. Keep rocking!
I wish I could have given you a big warm hug of understanding at the end of this video.
😌😌
Oh my God, its good to feel pain with another genuinely sensitive honest human being.
You've got me crying, I've been tough because I needed to be strong. I know that I buried the pain of unsaid goodbyes, just to try and protect myself from the fear of feeling abandoned.
Now I need to face my own pain.
Andrew you not alone we're all here for each other. Together we will heal and go on even on broken legs with broken hearts.
Love and Light will carry us through.
God Bless folks.
Namaste.

Andrew, you are a very brave, kind and genuine person. We need more people like you. As you share your painful experience, you are helping thousands of people. Including myself. Personally speaking on my similar experience, I remember breaking down while driving when I had to make life changes and say goodbye to shared friends and family with my ex. At times the pain was so overwhelming that I’d pull out on the side of the road and just sob profoundly. I felt so alone and it hurt so much. However, I noticed that every time I had a breakdown, I’d recover faster than before. When your going through this it’s hell. The beautiful thing about it is that you will heal and it will get better. Thank you for your valuable information and for all that you do.🙏🏼
Welcome always 🙌☀️🙏
You are so brave to share this painful experience with us. We can all relate.
Hugs of understanding & compassion as this journey of letting go & learning to honor ourselves can be challenging!😢💜💜💜 This too will pass !!
Oh Andrew my heart goes out to you. Sounds like you are moving. Your tears at the end broke my heart. I’ll be thinking of you and please take care of yourself. Look forward to seeing you tomorrow. 💞💪🏻
Hi Dorothy, it does feel like your heart will break, all you want to do is to somehow make all the pain and sorrow go away...but we can hold tight together and slowly move through this dark night of the soul. Long time ago my grand mother would say that your tears the best part of us for we show our humanity in them for another person and this is at once the pain and the joy we feel. 🐥
@@danielleagni2664 WOW! Thanks for sharing her wisdom!
Thank you for your amazing channel Andrew. You are helping me soo much get through my narcissistic marriage. And thanks to you I now share your words and videos to my dear niece who is also going through a very traumatic narcissistic marriage and hopefully we both will be able to escape them physically. She is at the Starr of her journey, meaning realising who he actually is and was throughout there marriage, I am coming out of the dark tunnel at last, 3 long years it's taken me to grieve, but no more. I have gone no contact completely with him and regained myself in the process. Thank you for your videos Xxxxx
Andrew, a very heartfelt message and right on the money as usual. You also are not alone, you have brought strength to so many with your messages.. I hope you understand that every last one of us appreciate you and what you do.. and are sending this strength back to you. Stay blessed sir.
I know this video is a year old but seeing you upset made me cry..VIRTUAL HUG! Keep letting your light shine Andrew! 😢 You are doing more for us than you know..I just wish we could do more for you.
Oh, Andrew for all the times that you’ve been there for us, which is every day, I wish I could give you a big hug to try to help ease your pain with what you are going through right now. I can send you my love and many prayers for better, healing days ahead of you. Much love to you, my friend. God bless you. ❤️
I love your name! The only other time I've heard it was a family member. She was a beautiful young Auntie when I was a little girl.

Welcome 🙌☀️🙏
Absolutely! I so appreciate his ability to put into words a situation I had been living through for way too long but couldn't adequately describe.
I wasn't expecting this video today Andrew 😢You have so much humility, you know not how much you Fly with the Wings of Angels and Touch Heaven with your Love. Sending virtual hugs to you and all our community 🤗
Dear Andrew, I am sorry you are going through this. I just put up a prayer to God for you, may the days ahead bring you peace and more understanding. You are a wonderful person, and we love you and thank you for ALL you do for us. This too shall pass, my friend. 🙏❤️
Thank you 🙌☀️❤️
Dearest Andrew, you are an amazing loving man and I’m so sorry for your pain thru this video you shared with us! Another lesson you have taught and shared with us!! Thankyou so much!!!! 😘😘
God Bless you everyday to keep you safe and Happy!!!🙏🏻😘🌈
Dearest Andrew, a good cry is as healing as a good laugh. It clears out cobwebs and debris that have been clogging up emotional progress. Unfortunately no matter how much preparation we anticipate, the reality is always different. The fear of loss always outweighs the joy of gain. Be sure to be gentle and kind to yourself these next few months, as no doubt there will be more tears. Surround yourself with good hearted positive people. May God bless and be with you, we are all here for you dear One 🙏
Thank you 🙏🙌💯
Oh Andrew I feel your pain 😢. I still shed a tear at the thought of the people I never got to say goodbye to. All of this down to my narcissistic brother. Walked away in 2019. Only this year having connected to your teaching has it all become clear. It was the right decision to walk away. I just hope that one day the people I didn’t get the chance to say goodbye to will understand.
Sending you the biggest of hugs! Thank you and take care of u! 😎💕
Welcome 🙏🙌☀️
We love you too Andrew!! You are strong, you are powerfully, you are a WOUNDED HEALER!! The time is coming when you will look back at your journey and realized how EVERY situation is working for your good! God is even right now restoring to you everything that the locus has eaten!! You will be blessed with one of the most beautiful relationship ever…Beauty for ashes. It’s quite obvious that you are a loving person and the good Lord will make sure that it’s not wasted! As you continue to bless us, you will continue to experience your inner healing. You remind me of Jesus when he was on the cross suffering…He did not wait until he was resurrected, but while he was in agony on the cross He cried out, “Father forgive them!” You are strong, loving, powerful and influential!! The best is yet to come!!🙏

Thank you 🙏🙌☀️
Another brilliant video , Andrew 🙏 Isn't it also sad that because of the trauma bond the narc inflicts on us over time we loose sight of the fact that we always had the power to say goodbye ! Thank you SO much for all the incredible support , advice , and the constant encouragement you have given to so many to take back their truth and reality and finally pluck up the courage to walk away ! The true power was ALWAYS in our hands , and with your help we will hopefully never lose sight of that again , big nameste , my good friend 💪🙏😎
Namaste 🙏🙌☀️
Your comment reminds me of Dorothy on Wizard of Oz! She always had the power to go home, but had to learn lessons along the way.

So grateful for you ❤️
Blessings we are spiritually with you brother ❤️🩹
Andrew, this rings true to your message that the healing path is not linear for any of us, regardless of how much information we have. Good souls feel pain. My hope for you and everyone is to keep moving forward. As you tell us everyday Andrew, “thank you very much for being here.” ❤
Welcome 🙌🙏☀️
I’m so sorry for what you’re going through. I pray for your healing and comfort. Your videos have helped me tremendously, in getting through a horrific time in my life.I wish there was something I could do to help you in return. I’m thankful you are who you are, and that you’re here with us. I hope your heart is healing daily. ❤

As painful as it is saying goodbye in anyway is the reassurance that we have lived our life's the way we choose to, with love and peace in our hearts. Big hugs to you! Your words help me so much! 🙏❤️
Thank you 🙌☀️🙏
I WAS ABLE TOO SAY
GOOD~BYE LONG
BEFORE SHE PASSED AWAY. IT WAS A GREAT EMPOWERMENT &
I SAY THIS HUMBLY
NO REGRETS...
🙏💯🙌
Saying GOODBYE is a gift. Say goodbye to toxic people. Saying Goodbye to someone you love is forever. Thank you Andrew for all you give to us. We love you back. ♥️ I couldn' t have made it without my creator. I give honor to God. Andrew your channel and some a few others have given me strength to press on. A lot of us couldn't afford the cost of therapy. Your channel is a blessing. You are real and genuine. If I known you in person. We were could've been good friends. If it wasn't for the narc. I wouldn't have known who my real friends were. I lost several people who was always there to take from me. Never gave as much as they took. I'm happier. Listening to you gives me comfort. I have stronger boundaries. We all are healing. Thank you for taking the time to greet us daily with a healing podcast. Healing takes time. I visited my 78 yo aunt. We cried. We didn't want to stop hugging each other. I felt I wasted too much time with the narc. I could've been enjoying my time with her. I'm not going to waste anymore time with the wrong people. Thank you Andrew. Much ♥️.
😭💔I am keeping every tear you shed close to my heart! Above all…Thank you dear Andrew…for being the male version of myself!! Godspeed!
🙏🏻✝️☮️✌🏻❤️
Welcome 😌😌❤️
To everyone who wrote about the love and caring for Andrew , for all of us, thank you. Saying goodbye, forever, is a hard thing to think about because it means forever. But to move on , we have to. Hard truths. It's being sincere to yourself. The ultimate healing of leaving the toxic abuse. Again, thank you Andrew and fellow empaths. We all are the support system for ourselves.
Thank you 🙏🙌☀️
Sometimes its hurts so hard to say goodbye. Take care my friend.🧡
Thank you Sir Andrew for all you do for this community and this planet. Just know the difficult path you’ve had to travel was not in vain. You have genuinely changed lives as you’ve sent forth your words of wisdom and healing to others who are lost and in need. Namaste.🕯
Namaste 🙏☀️🙌

God bless you Andrew and I pray for you that Jesus will heal you and set you free🙏❤we all love you❤️
Good afternoon Andrew. I need to THANK YOU for ALWAYS being here for us. Now we are here for YOU. A broken heart heals in TIME, and it's so hard to say GOODBYE to people we love. One of these days, thanks to you, we WILL BE STRONG and move forward in our lives. You are a Godsend in my heart, and I'm sure this room feels the same about you. GOD BLESS YOU ANDREW...Virtual hug for you! ❤️❤️💙🙏🙏 You are in my prayers.
Thank you 🙏☀️☀️
We die a little, with each goodbye, especially when having to leave behind that immense part of our soul we gave to them, a new rebirth now
☀️🙌💯
These predators should go out and sniff at each other, instead of getting confortable onto genuine people who mean good, for God allmighty dwells in them, the meek are His chosen ones never the proud, and true power resides in a virtuous man, not in a clown on a thrown. The home we thought we had together with this person was an illusion, an air bubble, we don't belong with these people, they're not our source of true well-being, maybe we so much invested and were going to, that God Himself, working through their emotional incapacity was sending us an awakening message
As a wonderful soul from Costa Rica often reminds me, you’re not alone ;) I can’t picture what over 100,000 supporters looks like in real life, but we are all real and surrounding you with love.
Thank you for sharing on such a tough day and in your always sincere way. Namaste friend 🙏🏼💙
Namaste 🙏🙌☀️❤️
So sorry you have been used and abused and basically left for dead. It hurts me too because I was in a similar situation. We are all healing together and you are loved by many. Seeing you suffering is breaking my heart but I know that now you have overcome and helped many to overcome including me. You are a guardian angel of many of us. ♥
💜✨⛰️🙏
Ah, yes, Andrew, saying goodbye to abusive covert narc is one of the highlights of my entire life. I rented a townhouse in secret, picked up my daughters directly from school, and drove us to new home. For weeks after that, returning home each day from my job, I would sit for a period of time in new home and cry several minutes of literal tears of IMMENSE JOY...I had escaped and I was free!! Thank you, Andrew, for another great lesson. And I'm praying for your quick recovery from whatever prompted your recent sadness.
Welcome always 🙏🙌☀️
Quit my jobb because of a female N. My substitute who had to walk aside for two days, was totally caught up with her charismatic personality and beauty. When they were flirtig I went out closed the door to the small office, smiled and thought "poor bastard".
My goodbye was a written messege. Good luck to your both, take care.
No hugging for me. But a lot of hugs for my other loving collgues.
🙏💯🙌
My heart feels for you because I’m getting ready to do this. Andrew, just know that watching you reminds me that it can and will be done. This will open up a new chapter. ❤
💪💪☀️🙏
Andrew, very nice getting to know you and your raw honesty. I was blessed enough to come across your videos in the best timing. One video just builds upon the next and is helping me from going into full blown self disruct . Im keeping in mind not expressing too much like you've shared in many videos many of us empaths tend to do . I feel I'm so exhausted taking in a new way of living, learning and loving but im forging onward .
thank you-
Namaste ❤
Good memories never die even if you leave those that were good will remain in you thoughts heart and your prayers stay strong 💪🌻
So proud of you. The Universe will reward you with many blessings.
🙏🙌☀️
Yea said goodbye when my Dad died,he was authentic ,compassionate, loving and encouraging,I learned so much from him,🙏🙏🙏🙏
Andrew, feel our hugs. Warm warm hugs. We are learning a lot from your posts. Also not just towards the narc but also introspective of what we were/are like towards others. Thank you for being our teacher. This community is growing and gaining strength. 💝🌱🙏
Welcome 🙏🙌☀️
Andrew,
I was in the same position as you are now 5 years ago. I had to sell my place in Central America after the discard and went through this moving transition. Quite a heavy experience for me so I think I can relate to how you're feeling. You support so many people each day who are going through some life changing experiences. I hope you know that all of us here support you. Sending you positive thoughts, positive energy, and peace.
🙌☀️💯🙏
Yes, I think we are sending Andrew a virtual stampede of love!
Thank you for sharing this raw vulnerability with your TH-cam family! Oh you are such a beautiful soul Andrew...your channel has been so instrumental in helping me get out of this dark chapter with my narcissistic sibling. Your words and messages give me inspiration to keep going forward, even if I dont know where I'll end up. But I agree with you: Goodbyes are there for those who deserve to hear it from us. It is a type of kindness we bestow on the other person. My narc family will not hear these words from again however, as they have shown not just cowardice, but downright demonic energy towards me in past weeks. They have discarded and disowned me, all because I dared to stand up for myself and set a boundary. I don't want reconciliation; if someone that evil and heartless is in my life, I want nothing to do with it and will run as far as i can from it. I want no parts of any dark energy permeating my life. Which is why I'm so grateful for TH-cam and the various online communities of healers and light workers; I would not have the strength to embark on this journey without you. So thank you my friend, and goodbye ....for now🕊
Welcome always 🙌☀️🙏
Oh, Andrew, I am so sorry for the pain you are going through. Please know that I will keep you in my prayers everyday. Have a blessed day and stay strong!🙏❤
Thank you 🙏🙌☀️
@@NARCDAILYYouAreNotAlone You are welcome!
8.42 pm here in France and sending you a huge amount of love and support like everyone in this community. I cried during my session last time with my therapist because I can feel that I am soon gonna enter a new chapter of my life and then no longer need her support. And I appreciate and respect her so much that it's heartbreaking for me not to have her anymore around me. I feel nostalgic and melancholic just by the thought of that moment. There are those people you would like to have in your life forever but the universe has decided otherwise That's difficult when you have to say goodbye to love ones whoever they are. And I felt that with my future ex husband whom I understood will never change and that I felt I abandonned to save myself. Oh my god, I feel so sad for you, and probably you have been knowing that for quite some times and felt worried to know this will happen. God bless you Andrew. Thank you so much for sharing this authentic self to us.
Andrew, you are being sent a lot of love, light and gratitude for being a beacon of hope for all of us! Your education has helped me personally on a deep level through my healing journey. Just this morning, I was given a message for those times when I replay in my mind the relationship I had with the narc..."I didn't cause it, I can't control it, and it's not my job to cure it." God bless you, Andrew 🙏❣️
Thank you 🙏🙌☀️
Gina, you wrote a beautiful message to Andrew! I will have to remember Andrew's advice you quote for when I think of my relationship with the ex narc. This advice puts the relationship in perspective. Andrew's education and his life experiences he shares with us have certainly been a catalyst for my own growth and healing. Have a blessed day. 🙏 💕
@@hollylorn131 Thank you, Holly. Stay strong and remember how beautiful you are. 💖😊
😢 I felt that intensely, having just left last monday. I tried to visit my son on Saturday, and he informed me I was the narcissist. All I could say, was ,Son, you're the next one on his list, locally, here. I had to walk away before he called the cops on me and created a scene. I couldnt believe it.
I left the following monday when the narc was at work, and it was so hard to leave my cats. I still worry about them daily. I took a video of the entire house as I left it. Got in my way way overloaded car, and drove a few hundred miles. I cried so many times, and interstate 35 isnt where one needs to be breaking down and crying.
I did finally make it to a little plot of land where I can park my car, and find a job. I am still waiting to hear back from the place that was offered to me.
Ive slept in my car every night, and the backache isn't fun, but today I decided that all this stuff I carted away from that hellhole was past. Even my dad's art. I have gotten rid of most everything now, so now the slate is clean. And I can maybe lay down in the back seat. The land has 2 well maintained showers/bathrooms, so its really not been too difficult. Emotions are all over the place though. Memories I had forgotten are popping up, and things said that I didnt see clearly then, are worrying me now about my children.
I give hugs to all homeless people in this world, but especially those out there doing it with children.😢❤ I'm so so happy I held out till they were grown so at least I had that time with them. Still, its sad. And I dearly miss my grandkids. 😢😢 But, Ill make it. Nothing worth doing is ever easy, and Im a fighter. 17 yrs with cancer has proven my strength to me. And he will never ...nor will my children or anyone else be able to take that away from me. For that, and the wisdom I've received in the process, I am deeply grateful. Thanks Andrew, for the video suggestion. Im so happy for you that you've moved well past this point now. Well done! 👍🌼🌺♥️

Andrew, you are loved and admired by so many for your work and authenticity. Thank you. I cried with you this morning watching you be vulnerable. We understand and YOU are not alone. God bless you and Namaste. Stay strong. We on your channel are getting stronger every day, thanks in a great part to you. 💗🙏💪

Thank you for showing us the enormous range of "good byes" -- it hit me like a ton of bricks why people seek closure and why it's hard to heal from a traumatic event/phase.
I never said good bye and so it lingers. Wow!
We're all crying with you as we embark on new journey. It feels like one is constantly drowning and gasping for air.
A favorite song came to mind -- "Time to Say Goodbye🎵🎶"
Thank you Andrew. You and I are in this journey together! Thank you for gathering the strength to post this video. I had to say goodbye to my narc a month ago. It still hurts. I feel your pain my friend. Sending you a HUGE hug!

I thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement and speaking about your story, your life.
We love you Andrew.
You are in my prayers.
Sending you a great big hug a real one 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
This is a very important message you shared here. It's very bittersweet to say goodbye to certain people in our lives. Some people really stick with you, in a good way. ☮️❤️🤗
🙌☀️🙏
Andrew I felt your pain. I’m sorry that individual mistreated you but I’m so glad you were strong enough to say goodbye and walk away. Backing up your words with action is so powerful when it comes to relationships. Big hug Andrew. 🙏 namaste
Yeah exactly, saying "thank you". That's what a decent human does at the end of a relationship. You are so on point. And we beg for the most common or human things.
Oh Andrew you are so sweet, my heart goes out to you.❤
I’m sure you had a beautiful and wonderful impact on their life and the others you will say goodbye to. Just like you do to us. They will always be in your heart and you in theirs.
I appreciate you sharing your genuineness and compassion as the sweet kind person that you are. It’s a blessing to know there are still men who can be real. I pray the presence of The Holy Spirit give you much strength and peace as you walk through these moments. God bless you, I LoveYou.
Sending you a big hug ☀️❤️✝️
The hardest thing is that I know there are a few good individuals that I will not be able to say goodbye. I know in the distant future they will know that I did say goodbye, in my spirit and soul, respected their love and their carrying of some of my pain. Andrew, your tears and pain in this video are just a very tiny drop of tears shed and pain felt. We all know that emotional voice, the pain visible, and auditable, I can relate to that deep emotional pain. We all have been there as we can link ourselves to such real deepest feelings and pain you expressed in this video. That sharing touched me ❤ deeply, as i can relate to that, for months now, feeling that soul punishing torment and pain. Andrew, keep doing these videos. You have inspired me and helped me to find my path. You are a blessing sent by our Lord. Thank you, thank you, we share your tears and pain, as you have shared mine and all others on this channel. Namaste and God bless 🙌 🙏 ❤️ 💖 😊
Welcome 🙌😌🙏
O wow this is raw. I pray to The ALMIGHTY right now to comfort you. I pray you feel it. I remember the agony I felt while my son was in Iraq as a Marine, the tears while writing him letters. I asked him once to take his own arms and hug himself real hard for me because I wasn't there to do so. Please Andrew, hug yourself for all of us. We sit on the other side of your screen and can't do so.
@Kristi Swenson it breaks my heart ❤️ to see Andrew so sad! 🙏
@Kristi Swenson You're sweet, Thank you ♡
