      Oh gosh. I noticed when he went to rehab my shoulder pain went away after 1 1/2 years! And when he came back it came back a month later. I put it together and was dumbfounded though I kind of believed it could happen. Abuse causes you sickness. The worse is when they take away your mental health. It’s hard because that makes the physical stuff too. Like stomach aches, no appetite, chest tightness. I’m glad you lived and thank you for sharing. It helped me. ❤😊

    Listen I have an idea about how to cope with emotional abandonment. Get yourself fixed up and looking really good: start working out, lose weight, a new hairstyle, new clothes. Just looking the very best you can. Then, start going places on your own. Find some group activities. Volunteer. Take a part time job. Make new friends. Don't bother explaining to the hijackel, just say I'm going out and I dont know when I will be back. Disassociate yourself from his needs. If you have to provide anything to him, do the bare minimum. Have a little interaction with him as possible. In other words, get a life of your own that doesn't involve the hijackel. And when he asks you what is going on, say "Oh nothing." Period.

    When I had our 2 nd baby, he left me while I was in transition ( hardest part of labor) to go to a nearby restaurant to eat.
    2 days later when I was discharged, I couldn’t go home. A playoff game was on tv. He lounged in my hospital bed drinking beer, while I sat with my coat on, waiting to take my newborn home. When I asked to leave, he said, “ The nurse said we don’t have to leave until we’re ready. “
    My heart sank. And even worse, I was in grief because our baby had been born with a congenital birth defect and I was absolutely beside myself with sorrow for her, and what she would go through in life. I was utterly alone, unsupported, and broken.

    A hijackle sibling of mine future faked me telling me I was going to be a prime person in her business, I would get college credits for attending her workshop and a certification. I moved to the state she lived in, set up an apartment then didnt hear from her for 2 months. She called me the week before the certification to ask if I'd done the homework. Baffled I said no. She asked if I got the emails, I said no. She then said she must have forgotten but I could wait for another 4 months, I said NO! I found out she hadnt registered me for the college credit either. When i brought this up she became indignant telling me i should be grateful she gave me a free workshop which i hadnt been registered for either. I have mostly nothing to do with her.

    Dr. Rhoberta, you said "Yes, Hijackals can have narcissistic, passive-aggressive, sociopathic, histrionic, and/or psychopathic traits." And wow. If that doesn't perfectly nail it. He has a combination of everything you mentioned. And I was wondering if all of those traits could mainifest in one creature from hell. Pardon me, I mean in one person. What made me snap out of it was when he had a histrionic tantrum and packed up and left at 5am with me saying "What are you doing?" Maybe because I reminded him not to leave dirty dishes in the sink or refused to lend him money. Anyway, he now spits venom at me for "kicking him out"! I did no such thing! I offered him a free month in my apartment so he could save money for his own place. And then he didn't work for days and I said How will you save money if you sit around or sleep all day and don't work? So I'm the monster, yes, I'm the bad guy. ffs. Thank goodness I won't have to deal with his passive aggressive pouting and moodiness now.

    @PattyHill-v2j 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    After almost 20 years of doing everything for the household and helping my partner manage the consistent emotional trauma of their difficult remote healthcare job, providing constant support, empathy and compassion throughout, I always imagined that my spouse would reciprocate if I ever needed them to. While I am a strong and resilient person, I was floored by a breast cancer diagnosis of ductal carcinoma and DCIS not long after my spouse's retirement. I needed some emotional support and compassion and understanding.
    I got great support when there was someone else watching. I got to overhear others expressing support and empathy to them for what 'we' were going through...but I have been treated with judgement, cruelty, anger, and complete emotional neglect when spectators are lacking. The whole experience has been a terrible surprise, and a heartbreaking 'eye-opener'. The relationship that I always thought I could count on does not exist...

  • @ryanb9930

    Wed be shopping together in a store and he would just leave me there. After finding him in another store and complaining for leaving, he did it again! This is a literal example, I know, but it shows just how bad it was. Im mad at myself for being so stupid! I wanted love and companionship so bad i silenced my intuition.
    He was a narcissist to the core. It has to be said. She hit on every point. He is a disgusting human being and I'm glad its finally over.
    It's still too fresh and just watching this brings about a painful realization.

      The utter selfishness of these people never fails to amaze me!

    Yes, per the needs - both parents, brother, spouse. I rarely have experienced that kind of intentional emotional support and presence. I still don't have it, but I am learning not to abandon myself. ❤❤
    Yes, my partner acts like I'm a black hole of emotional need because I get so starved doing without it on so many levels. Plus, when it comes to medical emergencies he doesn't like to accept help or he tries to act like it's not a big deal or that I am overreacting. Also, he tries to self-diagnose - even when it turned out I had a complex fracture. 💯👍🤷‍♀️

    • @universaltruth2025
      @universaltruth2025 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I can totally relate. Father, brother & husband all narc and/or dismissive avoidant. Its hard feeling so unsupported and under valued. My mother has been supportive since I was an adult and had children. But I have never really felt really respected by her. Its like she always had to be in the superior position. Generally due to the fact that she has a lot of money and I don’t. So she uses it as a way to both help and as a way to secure loyalty and connection. Not sure if I’m being ungrateful there, probably, but its what it feels like. I wish I wasn’t reliant on others for money.

    I am so happy I found your channel. I stumbled across it just a few days ago and I am so sad o hadn't found you sooner! I found this video hit very close to home. Only I wonder why my hijayl left me because he claims I abandoned him emotionally. He tells me it's because I no longer showed him I cared, he never felt wanted, that he didn't matter. He left me a month ago and filed for a divorce 5 days later. The thing is, I'd been through a lot of trauma in a short amount of time including his abuse. I have been experiencing a dissociative disorder and it shut every emotion I had down. Yet, I abandoned him. I'm not sure how to deal with this and process the fact the man I've known and loved for so long became someone. I didn't know. Why did he leave me even though my hijakal's verbal abuse played a huge part in why I developed the dissociative disorder? It's kept me in tangles. Thank you for helping me learn a few things as to why most things are the way they are in my life. Now if I could just not feel like I am normal again.

    It’s so terrifying and devastating when you finally wake up and see you’ve devoted your life to a hijackal. The future faking is so huge with mine. Ive slaved away for years to support him in his dream of running a business and this whole time I thought we were working our butts off to tackle the world together. For years he’s been telling me that he’s gotten these big jobs and hes right on the brink of success but something goes wrong everytime, the paychecks are small and rare. I’ve come to the realization that it’s just all lies and instead of us slaving away together I have been enabling him and supporting him so he can sit in his shop drinking beer all day. What a mess 😞 I wonder if I could get him to quit drinking he might quit lying to me and gaslighting me 🤔 I’ve been trying but it seems that he’s deciding to choose the alcohol over me and the kids.

    • @WalkerHoundGal
      @WalkerHoundGal ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I went the route of getting my spouse into rehab 3 separate times, but the problem doesn’t go away because the hijackal can’t see their own addiction, wrongdoing, lies, betrayal, or abuse of others. They will tell you they completed the program and then sneak right back to the same old garbage. I found it better to partner with myself and live a life that I love to live. As disconnected from the hijackal as humanly possible. 😊❤️

    When I am told that he needs his freedom to be with other women. I have felt so abandoned by him. Been with him for 2.5 yrs. The things that he says have been so shocking and I have continued to go back to him either through me feeling guilty that it's my fault or he has live bombed me. What do you say to them. No one has been so mentally cruel as he has been and still wanting me back. Finally he left me and it's been a week. There was no reason only to blame me for allowing my ex husband amd son's dad to manipulate me. He said if he can then so can I. Then he said he didn't want to be around this anymore. He left me last week. Any tips to get over him. I don't know what I did to him. I am in the fog amd feeling detached from myself.
