    The Royal We has helped Millions to escape the grip of narcissistic abuse. Here’s a deeper look into what narcissistic abuse looks like and steps to heal from it:
    Narcissistic abuse looks like:
    Lack of Empathy: Narcissists often show little to no empathy for others, making it easy for them to manipulate and exploit. Narcissists use various tactics such as gaslighting, love bombing, and devaluation to control and dominate their victims.
    Common Tactics Used in Narcissistic Abuse:
    Gaslighting: Making the victim doubt their own reality and sanity.
    Love Bombing: Showering the victim with excessive attention and affection to gain control.
    Devaluation: Undermining the victim’s self-worth through criticism, belittling, and emotional neglect.
    Isolation: Cutting the victim off from their support systems to increase dependency on the abuser.
    Triangulation: Using others to create jealousy or competition, keeping the victim feeling insecure.
    Healing from Narcissistic Abuse
    How to begin healing from narcissistic abuse:
    Understand that you have been enduring narcissistic abuse. This awareness is the first step toward healing.
    Get Help:
    Work with The Royal We to get the tools to understand and process your experiences. Visit - www.jointheroyalwe.com
    Establish No Contact or Low Contact:
    Limit or completely cut off communication with the narcissistic abuser. This helps you gain emotional distance and begin your healing journey.
    Rebuild Your Self-Esteem:
    Engage in activities that boost your confidence and self-worth. Surround yourself with supportive, positive people who value and respect you.
    Educate Yourself:
    Learn about narcissistic abuse and its effects. Knowledge is empowering and can help you recognize patterns and avoid future toxic relationships.
    Practice Self-Care:
    Prioritize your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, adequate sleep, and mindfulness practices can all contribute to your recovery.
    Set Boundaries:
    Develop and maintain healthy boundaries in all your relationships.

    You can’t help or save them because, really, you already did. You offered them the love, acceptance, peace and security that they’ve looked for all their lives, and you would have never given up on them. You saved them! But they can’t make any use of those things. They live in a world of suspicion, blame, deception, anger and rage. And if you press them or hold them accountable, they can quickly and explosively become psychopathic and psychotic. You did your part - you saved, loved, helped. A normal, loving person would value and savor that for eternity. But not them. You did right. Now let it go...

    Yes, this resonated with me. In a nutshell, narcissists are like fleas -- they jump on you when you're available and suck the lifeblood out of you -- then they jump off when they see another source. After they've sucked the other source dry, they jump back on you just as you're starting to heal from those wounds. They also give you fleas!😖🦟(Darn, I don't have a flea emoji.😕)

      More than money. The whole thing with Narcissists is to keep a facade to the people they use to supply them with telling them they are still a good person. They use marriage as a way to gain small supply from the spouse while they look for new better supply or quick highs. Then when they think they have found a better supply they discard you but use you to make it appear they were the ones abused and that they had to get out. That way when they bring the new supply the people close to them won't judge them as much because they will believe their facade. The money is just extra gains if they get it.

      Yup that is why it is wise to marry someone who is devoted and loves God because as Jesus says you can not serve both God and money. You will hate one or love the other. You will be devoted to one and neglect the other. Someone who loves money looks at people really shallow and as objects and something you can do for them because they see in perspective to how money makes them see the world but when you love God you love the things God loves which is people and not money and materialism but righteousness and love, humbleness. These things are life but money can not produce the things of life that only comes from God.

I found out that my mother was moving to Florida to live with my brother and his evil wife. Who now BTW is emotionally abusing my mother. ( Actually she's not letting her get away with all the drama she's creating. SIL is trying to make my mother accountable. HA good luck with that!)

    The bad thing is I've been friends with his mom for 20 year's. That's what gets me.

    Thank you for this video, I met my ex wife when she was living paychecks to paycheck i was skeptical talking to her, but when I met her daughter my heart melted.she is mentally disabled because from what she told me a former boyfriend beat her child badly she will never be able to function on her own.I helped her thru nursing school she never had to pay any Bills why she was in school. Constantly cheating on me I once ended up with chalymidia, Because of her all the things I lost being with this person. All the it was either a guy from her past or the weed connect, even though I didn't smoke weed. Always would add new males to her facebook page once she became a nurse treated me like shi@. I am glad I am away from her my life is in a better place now

    This was very helpful. Thank you. For many reasons it is very hard to identify and hold onto the understanding of what is really happening when you engage with someone who demonstrates high narcissistic tendencies... first of all they don't self- identify as narcissists so it's not a matter of discovering a secret they are consciously holding from you. Very consistently confusing situation to be in especially if you are a giver.

    This is hard for me to accept, but I needed to hear it, and I needed to hear it in those exact words. Mostly because as i was listening to this...I always view HIM as the raft. He comes along and "rescues" me from the choppy water right before I drown in it... The ride is nice, and way calmer than when I was drowning... Until I get bumped off again...and then made to feel like it was my own fault for not hanging on tight enough. "Do better next time."
    I am working on building my own raft. And one day when he bumps me overboard, and then circles back around to pick me up (right before I drown, and therefore am thankful for his rescue of me)...I won't be there.
    But I'm not there yet. I'm still hanging out comfortable in his raft. Except...maybe along the way, I forgot that it *is* my raft afterall, and he just stole it from me. That definitely changes the game a bit.
    Happy I found your channel. I look forward to seeing what I might learn about myself.

I knew something was off the first couple weeks . Long story short he rudely basically told me he didn’t want me and he was talking to another girl at our job . I was feeling down and doing the whole what is wrong with me , but low and behold last month he slithers around at work on the floor I was on and made a point to get my attention, the audacity!!

    Being abandoned happened a lot of times to me:
    -my daughter and I had COVID and he left us from the hospital and went home
    -countless of instances ESPESCIALLY when I needed him the most, that is when he abandons me...
    Recently he talked about leaving our relationship since I started show no interest, showing him flat emotion, not engaging, not playing his game any longer..
    Please pray for me that God continues to protect my daughter and me, this narc husband abused me physically a number of times and my prayer is that he would leave without going explosive aggressive in his rage...
