I think a lot of Christians need to realize, just because someone identifies as a Christian and attends church regularly and is active in the church, and maybe they tithe, maybe they sing in the choir, heck maybe they’re the Pastor….that doesn’t mean they are husband or wife material. That doesn’t mean they aren’t abusive. That doesn’t mean you will be equally yoked with them. Thanks for sharing your story and I hope that people pay attention to this and learn from your experience.
To be honest, I assumed that I already knew this. Your comment tells me that you may not have encountered narcissism within a church setting. It is a very humbling experience, to say the least. Thanks anyway
I've been married to a narcissist, together for a total of 8 years. Our daughter's name is also Genesis. How funny. I have left and taken my children to a shelter. Please pray for us. I know the Lord will provide but I need prayer.
My God. 🙏🏾I’m definitely praying a hedge of protection around you and your kids. May the Lord keep you and lead you. I pray that He connects you to and surrounds you with the right people that’ll advocate for you and be a village to you and your babies. Hang in there and take it one day at a time. He will never leave you nor forsake you🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I went to a shelter with my babies leaving the narcs and my relationship with God became stronger than ever! Keep praying and seeking Gods counsel through the judgment and stigma. Gods got you 🙏🏽
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT GO BACK. BLOCK HIM IF YOU CAN. SEE IF YOU CAN GET A RESTRAINING ORDER BECAUSE EVERY TIME YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH HIM, IT’S GOING TO SET YOU BACK.
There’s always jealously in them; they are Disgusting,jealousy type spirits. &The Churchy southern charm BlackMen of them are the worst. Not real Christians,just Churchy . They rarely will they ever do chores,and encourage you to do better things when they don’t follow through with any of the settled rules: BLACK MEN ONES are the worst. And we do all have the Holy Spirit ghost amen; My friend Parent of mine has stayed for 30+ years. I saw the signs 11. 1/2 years ago when I aged’ in My faith and wised up
@@yzma6142 that's exactly what the narc wanted to ruin. They hate to see people getting along. They are masters at destroying relationships by cooking up lies or exaggerating half truths.
Your daughter is very wise. She saw the red flags from the beginning. The short dating phase, surface level, vulnerability, the love bombing, the addiction etc. Our children are truly a gift from God.
It is insane how all narcissists are EXACTLY the same! I feel like I attract them and I am trying so hard to recognize the signs early on. Addictions, bad with money, always the victims, mood swings, always starting arguments, selfish. Thank you for sharing your story and allowing your daughter to share her perspective.
Whew! You’ve named basically everything that describes them! And I believe that they’re the same because it’s a spirit operating behind them all. Same spirit but different face
I attracted them all the time as well. I was listening to Anointed Fire and Tiphani Montgomery. You have to kill the idolatry in your heart for these type of people. Anytime we idolize these people Abba will always allow them to turn on us. I had to tell the truth I did idolize them. I was more anxious and they were more avoidant and I looked up to how people respect them and all their accomplishments. Now I look to YHWH and I ask Abba to let my discernment work. I am obedient to the discernment. 🙏🙏🙏
I was married to a narcissistic Pastor for 27 yrs., and the LORD delivered me and my children out of his bondage!! God revealed it all and I had no help from the church and its leaders (which is a sin and a shame). You nailed it sis!! What you see in the public is not what we get in the private. They show their best selves in public to gain peoples approval and applauses with their charm. So that when it all hit the fan and you decide to leave, you're the villain and they're victim! My ex hated my relationship with our children too and tried to turn my daughter against me, but it DID NOT WORK, she saw straight through it!!! And my son was the one that saw that he had a narcissistic spirit on him! My ex-narc never loved us, everything is conditional and about them, they are very jealous and envy of you because you have what they want (love, empathy, compassion, etc.). We are only ponds on their chess board, and they see us as extensions of them not our own individual selves. They are demonic beings, and I could see the demon in his eyes! They cheat, control, lie, steal, manipulate, gaslight, betray, and turn people and family members against you. They use scripture and God for the justification and benefit. It is all a set-up to destroy you from the very beginning. This is why you met their presenter and not their true identity until you say, "I do!" Thank God for delivering me and my children, I am free now and living my best life in Jesus Christ!
The psychopath I was married to stole our daughter thru manipulation and deception she was brainwashed and does not want anything to do with me her loving mom 😢
What steps did you take to get away without any help? I’m trying to get away. We don’t have any help and very limited resources. He sabotages everything.
I’m so glad I came across this video! My narcissistic ex-husband was a “devout” 7th Day Adventist and put on this front of being so helpful and self sacrificing to church members while being completely cold, absent, and MEAN at home. These people have two faces and the ones closest to them unfortunately see the worse side.
Omg. You said it best! They have 2 faces, and those closest to them see the worst! I think that’s why my ex had an estranged relationship with his family. Not close at all. SMH
Many Christians do not understand the depth and demons connected to narcissism that is why their counsel does not fit the situation...Thank you for sharing your story. God bless you. ps. Your daughter is beautiful :).
Complete truth..their counsel don't hold water at all because some don't understand how damaging narcissism can be and also because some church leaders ate also mentally unstable😢😢😢..so pathetic, we are living I a sad world with pretty faces.no one can save you from a narcissistic person only God does...its 8months since I left my ex husband but I hv never been at peace eishhhhhhh
It had to be God Himself that allowed me to come across this video. I’m currently in a separation and waiting on the Lord to give me the green light to divorce my narc husband. I cannot wait to be 100% free, I wouldn’t wish a narcissistic relationship on my worst enemy.
Wow! May God Bless you and keep you as you wait. It’s certainly a difficult situation. I never saw myself divorcing but when God plainly spoke to me, I realized that staying would’ve meant being disobedient to the Lord. I’m SO thankful for the opportunity to have a clean start!
Girl I thought I was the only one I am going through a divorce right now I was the blame for everything or my kids that were not his was the blame I found my self always trying to back track to see what I did wrong walking on egg shells he abused me an my moms even our baby daughter we have in common he threaten me. I couldn’t take my daughter back to New York, so I left for my boys at that moment. I thought I was what was best to save our lives literally because of their being weapons guns in the house I am fighting for my daughter for her return she is only two years old and I’ve been going through it, I moved back to New York. I miss her so much. Only God knows I pray the Lord does a miracle and return her back to me sooner than soon. I pray thelord will free you my sister because those people will never change. You will live a miserable life.
@@Samantha-gj2ul My God… immediate prayers going up for you and your babies. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Thank you for being brave enough to share and still encourage others💕💕
I also was married to narcissistic man, it was crazy horrible 10 years. Thank God for delivering me from that toxic person. I’m now in a healing process.
Your tip to believers is spot on! Please stop encouraging people to stay in this! I’m right there with you. Almost 7 years and I’m getting out of this bull crap! Literally your story sounds just like mine ! Jesus
I did 25 years and had no idea about narcissistic abuse. My son brought it to my attention and that’s how I realized what I had been dealing with. I divorced him and it’s been a year.
Extremely important topic! Great timing. I am a survivor of narc abuse as well, and have survived two narc relationships with Christian men. I think this may the most dangerous type. God bless you and thank you for sharing
@@GenieNicoleTV I am glad you have as well. May God bless you as He uses you. You will help many with your obedience and vulnerability 💙 everything lost will be returned to you.
Thank-you! I am SO grateful God via TH-cam helped me find you. I am still married to a narcissistic man but we are separated and I have gone no contact on him for 1 year. Your description is so familiar: an inflated view of himself, making rules for his wife that he himself does not follow (double-standards), projecting his flaws/issues on his wife, picking fights out of the blue, and his wanting so much "respect". I was hoping to hear from more Christian women who have overcome a narcissistic husband with children involved. Keep up the fantastic mission!
I loved this. I'm dealing with a narc marriage and can relate to everything that you all said. It's definitely revealing season as it seems like a lot of people are "waking up" now. I'm glad you both can laugh about it now
They love division. Same in my situation, he wanted to destroy the bond between me and my daughter. They hate the closeness bc they aren’t capable of having genuine, close relationships..:Plus, it’s a way to isolate you.
Yeeessss!!! It was exhausting trying to constantly appease him! It’s like me and my daughter had to sneak around just to hang out. He was so irritated at our bond🥴
I love the fact that you can actually laugh about the past. Know that it wasn't always like that. The return of your joy and peace shows growth. Happy for you both ❤
When I hear your story, it’s like we were living the same life. His addiction was gambling. It is mind blowing! And the talk about respect and submission. And the victim mentality.
Yeeess!! They’re obsessed with people submitting to THEM and catering to THEM but they never intend on paying that same respect to others! Double standards all the time
I had the same experience when I sought my previous church for counseling. I just kept being told to work on myself pretty much and to understand his behaviors. My ex-husband used it to continue to manipulate me and everyone around us.
I was “married” to a narcissist for a decade. Glad to be out. Please understand that narcissism is prevalent in the black community. Be careful dating out there!
@@GenieNicoleTV Please take time to heal ,educate yourself , on narcissism, fill your life with hobbies, passions ,work, meaningful relationships like friendships and family. Most therapists recommend people at least after the discard before you put yourself in the dating world. Personally Although I am frankly no mental health professionals, I recommend you take at least a few years to fully discover your authentic self. Once you are comfortable being single and alone if you get into a new relationship the moment you notice red flags you ran for the hill and don't bother trying to save or rescue the narcissists.
The spirit of Narcissism does NOT discriminate based on race, gender, disability, nationality, social status, height, weight, age, denomination, or anything else. Narcissism is NOT more prevalent in the black race. There is no truth in that. It is all inclusive! Howbeit, it may be more shunned to talk about within some races. Therefore help is not seeked by the victims. Hopefully that will change soon with more talk of mental illness & mental health.
@@kevinlaleaubeing married again is so far from my mind right now. I’m only interested in growing more intimate with Jesus, rediscovering who I am as a person, and enjoying this stage of parenting my adult daughter. I love that I have freedom to enjoy the most genuine friendships that God blessed me with and a thriving business. I’m just grateful 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
You described my current marriage which I’m walking away from. Unfortunately for me, I had kids with him. I’m on my spiritual journey and I know God has us but the effects this man has caused is definitely going in take a lot of healing. Thank you for sharing your story and being so brave. I too, pray I can speak and help others who have experienced a narcissist. God bless you and your beautiful daughter 🙏🏾
Thank you for sharing! I know exactly what you’re talking about. I am married to a narc and we were in church as well. So much craziness, gaslighting, manipulation and so forth. I am looking to leave this marriage and gain myself back.
I went through the same thing. I was married to a Christian narcissist for 7 years. I’ve been divorced for 4 years now. I’m so thankful that God set me free.
I’m gonna cry. I can’t. I’m literally living through it. And hearing y’all laugh about it as it’s a past part of life…. Bittersweet, hurts so bad and feels hopeful at the same time 💛 you raised a beautiful smart baby girl
You’re doing the right thing-educating yourself. There are many resources out here to help you navigate through this difficult time. YOU ARE NOT ALONE! We are here for you and with you. ❤
God bless y’all!! Thank you so much for shining light on this subject. I have had my own experiences with narcissists within the Christian community. Now that I am older, I understand that many narcs infiltrate our faith communities. Much love and respect to both of y’all.
Thank you so much to you and your Daughter for making this video and for sharing your hearts with us!!!! I LOVE your Mother/Daughter bond! There’s nothing like teaching your Daughter early as possible about toxic people. Unfortunately, Narcissistic people are in the church and some happen to be leaders in the church. That really hurts the church community and sometimes will cause people to leave the church. I dated a narcissist for six years and he wore a man of God mask too!!! I didn’t know what a narcissist was until I heard his youngest son call him a narcissist at age of 12 or 13. Once I started my research of narcissistic personalities and relationships, the light bulb totally went off and I began to really pay attention to every little detail. Thank God for blessing me to be able to safely leave. I just want you to know that you are such a wonderful and blessed Mother and your Daughter is also super intelligent and blessed as well. Your advice was on point for the church leaders too!!! Please continue to make these videos. You and your Daughter are a true blessing.
What a blessing and thank you for sharing. Yes as Christians we ignore red flags. Same here I was married to a covert narcissist 18 years. Now divorced one year. I met my ex husband at church and he displayed all the charm and affection. Down the road he was a serial cheater on multiple dating sites, he gave long silent treatments over the smallest disagreements, but was nice to me only in front of others, he withheld sex and intimacy. Our son noticed his dad not speaking to me. I knew the chronic silent treatments were intended to hurt and break me. This allowed him to go out and cheat. Yes your body knows sis. I’m so happy God gave me the courage to leave. I’m healing, going to church, reading the Bible, working out , traveling and going out with meet up groups.
Yes! The silent treatments are the worst! He wouldn’t even speak to me at home but was ready to “preach the gospel “ to his neighbors at work in public. 🥴
Most of the women who made comments on this your video are just a pathetic bunch of liars. They mean all their so called ex-husbands are Covert Narcissists according to your definition? All these women had no faults, they never misbehaved in their marriages, they never cheated, they were all submissive to their husbands, they never lied to cover up their own wrong doing, COME ON LADIES!!! STOP DECEIVING YOURSELVES! Marriage is not for everybody. There is nothing to CELEBRATE ABOUT DIVORCE AND MANY OF YOU ARE HERE CELEBRATING YOUR DIVORCE WHEN GOD SAID HE HATES DIVORCE. SHAME ON ALL OF YOU. I am an African man who have been married for 25 years now. A lot of the characters you associate with Narcissism I have also found with my wife. Will that justify me to get a divorce, the answer is NO. We work on our marriage to make it better. It is hard but very possible to get right if we are willing, obedient and humble. Marriage is not for your happiness alone. It is for companionship and procreation of Godly children. If you only just want to be happy, please never get married for you will marry for the wrong reasons. How many of you here are Christian women?. If you claim that you are a Christian woman and you are celebrating your divorce, your Christianity is fake. Believe me! The Christian bible says that '"Love covers over a multitude of sins, 1 Peter 4:8"". We can no longer forgive, we cannot ignore and tolerate, we ourselves are not willing to change our behaviors too and we blame it all on our husbands and others. Most women I know don't like to submit to their husbands. They don't like accountability and taking responsibility for their actions too. Often times, you place your children above your husbands and at least damage the minds of the children towards their fathers. You manipulate your husbands regularly to get what you want. Often, when the man refused to be manipulated, then he becomes a Covert Narcissist. May God have mercy on all of your bad mothers and ex-wives out there.
Great topic! I experienced a narc and my daughter was the one who saw through his spirit. She said his presence didn't feel genuine. You have to protect your peace and your babies. Although, I always wanted to be married again I knew protection of the mind is better.
Thank you so much! He definitely tried to. I’m just so thankful that we can still smile and laugh. We’re free to be close without the narc getting jealous
Short dating, none of your family liked him, daughter feeling the burden of saying yes to his engagement… there’s a lot to unpack. I’m glad you both are well, but sister you deserve so much more than just enough. And your gut is there to protect and preserve you. Even when no one around you says anything. Trust yourself.
@@GenieNicoleTV sending you virtual hugs. Please be easy on yourself in the process. A lot of us have had to learn (and are still learning) these skills as adults. ❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing your story, I was married to Narc for 4 yesterday. And your story sounds like Mines. Narcissist appear clean cut, but behind close doors they are nasty. He did Not say Bless You when I sneeze. The loved a nasty bathroom or kitchen. It was some sort of Trauma to have old cars, old everything. I have been No Contact for 2 years now❤ thank you again for sharing it helps us all that have been through it, know we are not the only one❤
My gosh! I screamed as I read your comment because you are SPOT on!!! That infuriated me to no end that he continued making our bathroom and kitchen nasty. Ugh. But he’d criticize me for being messy. 😳🥴
Love watching your healing journey with your daughter (she is such a smart well spoken queen) . Projection- Narcissist accuse you of exactly what they are actually doing themselves. Triangulation- Narcissist either by comparing or pitting against each other unknowingly put two people against each other.
Wow. I can’t believe it’s so many people with similar situations. That’s how I know it’s demonic too. Same spirit but different faces working through these men to destroy the body of Christ 🤦🏾♀️
@GenieNicoleTV yes indeed... my ex-husband's pastor made him a deacon in the church without even speaking to me first when we were married. My son and I were sick that Sunday he was appointed and I just sat looking at the live stream in disbelief as to why this pastor didn't have discernment of my ex-husbands spirit...and he is still a deacon at that church after I told the pastor during our counseling session before we got divorced about all of the emotional abuse he put me through shortly after our marriage. I'm constantly asking Jesus to give me discernment as He prepares me for my forever Holy Spirit filled husband so I don't have to go through what I did ever again and not seeing a man's true self.
Beautiful❤ we love to see a mom and daughter duo. My daughter is teaching me so much about myself as a parent and woman. Great female influence for my brain
Glad you all got out of that chaotic environment and thank you for sharing your truth! You are speaking spot on when it comes to this type of individual. I have experienced the same situation as you and your daughter concerning my child. He was jealous of our relationship for no apparent reason. He would find an invalid complaint about us that never corresponded with the facts of the matter. It was one of his weird tactics to prove nothing just so he could be intentionally in anger mode. I thought he was a great, God-fearing person who truly believed in exemplifying the fruits of the spirit. He started out as kind and attentive, but was really mimicking the empathetic, spiritual nature of me to bait me into his shenanigans. These are some dangerous people to deal with on so many levels whether it’s mental, physical, emotional, financial, spiritual, etc. Their actions are subtle and rooted with extreme manipulation. The relationship simply revolves around their desires and them looking innocent to the public. But yet, behind closed doors the disrespectful, argumentative, unapologetic behavior is seen. Also, your perspective will never stand with them because they are always right, even when they are wrong. They are exempt from accountability in their eyes. The longer you stay, the more comfortable they get with coming out of their pretend role. My overall point is, it is an unhealthy space with no peace at all. They will do whatever it takes to break you down and carry the same issues into the next relationship because they refuse to address their real internal problems. Please run from this type of person and NEVER EVER look back!
@@GenieNicoleTV I promise there is more, just too much to type when explaining their rollercoaster patterns. It is good seeing people like yourself openly discussing this topic when it comes to being in a narcissistic relationship. Many will not speak up and unfortunately will continue to stay in the cycle of abuse due to the fear of being judged for making a safe decision to get out.
Thanks you Genie and Genesis for the message! This is most definitely common. I agree that people (women in particular) should not be encouraged to remain in a narcissistic relationship. It is detrimental to the overall health and sanity.
@@GenieNicoleTVNo thanks needed! Thank you for being vulnerable and open to express your past experiences to hopefully make a difference in others lives.
I love how you say we were in the situation. I often say that to my daughter as well. There’s something special about being able to heal because you chose to do it for your children! I’m also glad I. Woke up too!
Your story is so similar to mines …my marriage lasted only 3 years and the Lord was the one who separated us because like you said everyone around us keeping encouraging counseling to which we began as soon as we got married. I stop listening to church people and began listening to God. He showed me so much and let me tell you when my ex left he left me high and dry and God took care of me and I ended up with the house to which was in foreclosure and I had no job …God saved it all for me and this year after 2 years my divorce was final. I was elated to not be connected in anyway to that man. I forgive him and pray for him and his soul but sadly he was a wolf in sheep clothing that went undetected. He also had a food addiction and was horrible with money and was constantly lying and acting so petty and childish. The things I was going through made my sister tell to look up what a narcissist is and then that led me to check out what a sociopath was and he fit the bill. It was God that said “you know your in a toxic relationship” and I was like “no im not, I’m too strong for that” and the Lord said “not mentally, he’s breaking you down mentally”. I was blown away because that was happening. I’m free now and great things are happening in my life ❤ Keep your focus on God and He will direct your steps and blow your mind …don’t worry about what people have to say or think because God will vindicate you
Giiirrrl! Yessss! God literally told me that if I stayed that I’m helping the toxic behavior at that point. Whew! I thank God for leading us and saving us all!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
This is so true. I can relate to it all. Different person in private than in public. Constant criticism and lack of compassion or intimacy. Very insecure- constantly accused me of cheating at or looking at other men or ignoring him. I Was so defeated! Christian women offering counseling had no clue how to counsel a woman in an abusive relationship and often hinted to not being gentle and quiet as the reason for the state of the relationship- not the blatant and unrepentant sin of the husband. Finally God freed me. the argument came after I asked him if he had seen my son’s necklace. I anguished for two weeks not even wanting to ask because I knew I would have to pay a price. I did and he told my son and I that we could not just an accuse him without paying a price. I realized then I did not want my son growing up in this environment where he could not respectfully ask a question. All the years of criticism and cruelty overflowed and I started to scream “I’m so angry!” Because I never allowed myself to even consider that I had a right to be unhappy. He told me to leave our home. I quietly said I will be gone by the summer. Later he took it back (he had already told me to get out many times before) and said the Bible never counseled any woman to leave her husband. I went upstairs and prayed. Fully submitting to whatever God said- stay or go. I resolved to stay silent until the Lord spoke to me. I drifted off to sleep and had a dream- it was me and God watching the story unfold with Hagar and Ishmael. The first time she left because of the cruelty of Sarai. The lord asked me “what h happened next?” I immediately began to repent in the dream saying “lord you sent her back!” and the Lord said “wait. What happened next?” I said “she went home and he sent her away again.” And then he said “and then what happened”. I said “and you promised to bless her snd her son and provided water” and then I woke up. In that time the Lord made a way for me to buy a condo that I had prayed for for years. He provided everything for me. He has been so kind. He finally revealed that he died for my heart- not my marriage. That I was trying to save my marriage and it was destroying my heart. My heart was too precious. He released me from my marriage. I am still in the process of recovering my self esteem but I am happier and have the freedom to pursue God without fear of retaliation, criticism or judgment. God is good. Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Lean not into your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him. And he will show you which path to take. 1 year from now my divorce is final. I did not seek alimony or equitable distribution. I went a year without alcohol or wine to show proper mourning for something God never intended - the tearing apart of one flesh- but allowed it for the sake of his daughter who was being destroyed. God bless all women who find themselves in the care of a cruel, abusive man. Seek God. Be holy because he is holy. Never repay evil for evil. Forgive and resist bitterness. He will tell you which steps to take. Be blessed.
I wasn't married to one, and I sometimes struggle with trying to understand if he was narcissistic. But all signs point to it. Manipulation, emotional roller coaster. I'm currently still trying to heal. Same as you I was a single parent over ten years. Dealt with narcissistic baby daddy as well. I though my ex was really receiving of my son, yet a year and a half in he always seemed to point out tings my son did. Though it was just him helping with him being a male figure. But then it got worse once we made almost 3 years and moved into a house together. He started lying and just oicking for no reason. Saying I wasn't parenting, told me my son was horrible. Would say my son was gonna beat me up. Yet it ended up being him attacking my son and then me jumping in to my son and I both fighting him. I'm still asking my son how he's feeling. asking is he upset with me for taking that all the years. This has been a hard year still but Im moving forward
This has blessed me soooo much. I was in a relationship with a narcissist for 5 years. He was not a Christian but would attend church with me for months, get delivered, then be very angry all over again right after service . There were so many layers for all those years, plus we had two children in addition to my first daughter from a previous relationship. She reminds me so much of your beautiful and eloquent daughter. Now that I am finally free from this guy I pray and aim to repair my relationship with my 1st daughter ensuring that’s it’s grounded in Our relationship with Jesus Christ. Thank you for posting!! ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing your story. You both are an encoragement to me. I have been with my husband for almost 6 years, married for almost 10 months. For 4.5 years our relationship was good. We had disagreements here and there but nothing out of the ordinary. I relocated and so he was now living with me and approximately 2 months later there was a drastic change in his behavior. We started arguing everyday to the point where I was waking up anxious about the day. All of the character traits that have been described by you and your daughter along with the ones mention in the comments he exhibits. I recently found out about narcissism and since have been educating myselfin the topic. I have decided to leave my marriage because it's now gotten to the point where infidelity is in question, the trust has been lost because of all the lying, not to mention the lack of respect at home and in public that recently surfaced. Sometimes I thought I must be mad to be putting up with his behavior not to mention comprising in conversation and opinions to temper the arguments. What I liked most about your video is to see that you have both recovered from your experience with a narcissist and that you and your daughter are happy. She's a beautiful young lady. God bless you both and thank you for sharing your story.
Thank you! And thank you for sharing your story! There’s definitely light at the end of the tunnel! Nothing and no one is worth losing your peace over. And I realized that God does NOT treat me this way. There’s no way that Jesus shed his precious blood for me to remain in bondage! So I took my chances and divorced. Been much more peaceful for sure! God Bless You and Keep you!🙏🏾💕🙏🏾💕
Thank you so much. Yall don’t even know what these compliments did for her. There were a few trolls on here complaining about us laughing and me having her on here. It really hurt her feelings. So I do thank you all who are positive. From the bottom of my heart. 💕💕💕
This is good to know. Thank you for sharing. I was in a few relationships that carried narcissistic spirits & I didn't know. Those relationships were so painful to be in. I thank God I'm out of that relationship & know what to look for the next time I date.
Sounds like my husband 🤯 our stories are so similar it’s almost scary. I’m finally leaving my marriage for good, 3 year anniversary was august 4th smh. Thank you so much for this video
Your daughter is like mine. We laugh and talk like girlfriends. It is amazing how they are like old souls. We are truly blessed to have them.❤ Yes so true single Moms are a package deal. When talking about the future if they mention more about just you and him. It is a warning sign.
I am so glad I found this video. I divorced my narcissistic ex-husband 1 year ago in July and we've been separated 2 years this past May (the father of my 8 year old daughter). He's now living with and in a relationship with the mistress he cheated on me with for 4 of our 8 year marriage. our daughter tells me a lot of things that they do and say to her that I know are manipulation and it's so hard for me to not speak up sometimes (some things I do clarify for her; other things, I know she will see as she gets older like your daughter). But hearing it from a teenage girl has really helped me. I've been intentional about creating a "safe space" for my daughter to express her feelings (and boy does she do that, lol) but I do know that she doesn't have language yet for some of her bigger feelings. Thanks!
Whoa whoa whoaaaa. Your video popped up on my time-line and all i can say is it is soooooo scary how similar our experiences are. Thank you for using your voice of boldness to share. I ESPECIALLY want to echo your sentiments regarding how "church folk " need to STOP ignorantly assuming they know what's best for you! 9/10 most are ILL-equipped to even BEGIN to understand!
WOW, DEFINITELY NEEDED This! I have passed radical acceptance. This is right in line sis. Amen and Happy Sabbath.....It's a whole nutherrr category narcs teaching the Bible....you definitely toughed it out the best you could family wise. I pray that Yah continues to heal you and your family
I'm so glad I came across this video. There were times I would question myself in regards to my faith and forgiveness and wanting to be a better wife. So I would overlook things and I would end up staying. The only problem is that things continued to get worse. We have been married since January. I'm currently in the process of separation, moving towards an annulment because this last thing that happened was the last straw. When it's involving the church it is difficult because they put on a mask in front of other people but at home turn into this totally different person. I already dealt with that type of thing growing up and I thought he understood that... but maybe he understood too well! Much Love. Thank you for sharing.
You have done an amazing job with your daughter. Wise at such a young age. We can see you are blessed and highly favored. As for the top , thank God for his protection because these people are ill.
God Bless you for this video... It feels good to hear people validate the pain I went through from the evil man I called a husband for 21 years. I have been married to a covert Narc for 21 years and finally decided to file for a divorce. Please pray that everything works out and that my children and I have peace of mind.
Wow. I'm so sorry. 21 years sounds like an eternity when you are tied to Narcs. Definitely praying for God to move on your behalf and that He will move in a mighty way. Declaring Psalms 91 over you and your babies.
Thank you for your transparency I had a male “friend” years ago just like this, although he never physically assaulted me, I did not recognize his toxic tendencies until we crossed the lines of friendship and became intimate…he was a narcissistic “pastor” who in my opinion preyed on my vulnerabilities and made me feel very insecure. Giving “almost” compliments saying things like “ once you gain more weight in future you’ll reach your full potential.” Then 5 years into debauchery because it was not a friendship nor relationship…After I had my daughter and gained too much weight and wanted to loose it to go back to my prior weight it was “oh no the old you will never come back”. It was a toxic inconsistent physical relationship and he abandoned me as a “friend “ once I had my daughter as they’d be long stretches where he and I didn’t speak and he didn’t want to be my “friend “ anymore. He said he was hurt smh Meanwhile never had any intention to date or become more I felt like I was loosing my mind with the gaslighting feeling bad because everyone was what I did to Him. I’m celibate now and have relented and have devoted myself entirely to Jesus I forgive him and know now what a true man of God should look like. Thanks for sharing!
Both you and your daughter are absolutely beautiful. Nobody better not say anything wicked about either one of you especially your daughter. If they do, you call me and I am going to pull up. I’m sorry you went through that I went through an extremely unhealthy break up in a long-term relationship just like you. I learn so many life lessons. I hope you’re doing well and I’m sure you took the tremendous blessing from all of this. There is definitely pain and purpose and everything you go through that pain. Don’t waste it. I’m using voice recognition while safely driving I hope this doesn’t seem weird. Forgive me if it does.
I’m sorry that you lived that experience. I can definitely relate. I hope that God heals your heart and that you are able to cope through all the after effects. Dealing with narcissistic abuse with church counselors are detrimental in my experience. Thank God that you got through it.
Your daughter is very well spoken. My daughter watched me go through it in a narcissistic marriage too. I hated it but it will help them avoid abusive relationships in the future. Mine was a Pastor…”Christian” narcs are the worst kind. Glad you made it out and learned the lessons.
OMG!! All of the things you mentioned are the EXACT SAME things I went through during my marriage. But praise God for an exit and an opportunity to reinvent my life which is now filled with His peace, clarity, hope joy etc. God is faithful AND able!!
I’m so glad you found the courage to leave before he totally drained the life out of you and your beautiful daughter! I’ve dated a narcissist, and that was the worst dating experience I’ve EVER had in my life! 😳
Thank you so much. Showing my daughter what’s unacceptable and that she could change her situation if she made a mistake definitely drove me to leave as well. She deserved better💕💕
I am seeking separation from a situation in some ways similar in my marriage I going through a lot sometimes feel like I can't go another day, but the grace of God, thank you for this video, it is helpful to keep on track of separation and not getting sucked in again
I'm shook by how I feel like I'm actually having an out of body experience listening to my story. Wow!! It's sad to hear how many Narcs are behind pulpits.
Wow! We have almost identical events that happened, even having my child at the same age as you, and her responses to the narcissism. Girlllll this conversation could go on for dayssss
Ohhh WOW! 😮 That’s so interesting! It still blows my mind how many others can relate. Like, it’s reaffirming but also sad that so may have experienced the same thing! 🤦🏾♀️😒 I’m glad that you and your daughter are ok! 💕💕🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I am about four months post divorce and so much of your experience resonates with mine. I am so happy for you and your daughter to have gotten out of that situation. Continued healing, peace, and blessings to you both.
This is so true. I can relate to it all. Different person in private than in public. Constant criticism and lack of compassion or intimacy. Very insecure- constantly accused me of cheating at or looking at other men or ignoring him. I Was so defeated! Christian women offering counseling had no clue how to counsel a woman in an abusive relationship and often hinted to not being gentle and quiet as the reason for the state of the relationship- not the blatant and unrepentant sin of the husband. Finally God freed me. the argument came after I asked him if he had seen my son’s necklace. I anguished for two weeks not even wanting to ask because I knew I would have to pay a price. I did and he told my son and I that we could not just an accuse him without paying a price. I realized then I did not want my son growing up in this environment where he could not respectfully ask a question. All the years of criticism and cruelty overflowed and I started to scream “I’m so angry!” Because I never allowed myself to even consider that I had a right to be unhappy. He told me to leave our home. I quietly said I will be gone by the summer. Later he took it back (he had already told me to get out many times before) and said the Bible never counseled any woman to leave her husband. I went upstairs and prayed. Fully submitting to whatever God said- stay or go. I resolved to stay silent until the Lord spoke to me. I drifted off to sleep and had a dream- it was me and God watching the story unfold with Hagar and Ishmael. The first time she left because of the cruelty of Sarai. The lord asked me “what h happened next?” I immediately began to repent in the dream saying “lord you sent her back!” and the Lord said “wait. What happened next?” I said “she went home and he sent her away again.” And then he said “and then what happened”. I said “and you promised to bless her snd her son and provided water” and then I woke up. In that time the Lord made a way for me to buy a condo that I had prayed for for years. He provided everything for me. He has been so kind. He finally revealed that he died for my heart- not my marriage. That I was trying to save my marriage and it was destroying my heart. My heart was too precious. He released me from my marriage. I am still in the process of recovering my self esteem but I am happier and have the freedom to pursue God without fear of retaliation, criticism or judgment. God is good. Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Lean not into your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him. And he will show you which path to take. 1 year from now my divorce is final. I did not seek alimony or equitable distribution. I went a year without alcohol or wine to show proper mourning for something God never intended - the tearing apart of one flesh- but allowed it for the sake of his daughter who was being destroyed. God bless all women who find themselves in the care of a cruel, abusive man. Seek God. Be holy because he is holy. Never repay evil for evil. Forgive and resist bitterness. He will tell you which steps to take. Be blessed.
Whew! Thank you so much for sharing your testimony! You have expressed this so eloquently, and I definitely relate to all of it. When I was done, I was DONE. I didn't want alimony nor for him to be repaid back for what he did because truthfully, I allowed it by staying and entering a union that was never God-ordained. I still pray for him to this day, that God will meet his needs and soften his heart. God Bless you sister in Christ! I can hear the healing even in your comment:-)) 🙏❤❤
Alsooooo you both are glowingggggg 😍🙏🙌. I have that type of relationship with my daughter and she can see right thru her Father as well. Your young lady is amazing. Speaks so well. God bless you into your future.
Sorry to hear what happened to you. I’m also very sorry that your daughter had to witness and experience the trauma of your toxic marriage. I pray she heals and not repeat those same cycles.
You guys have such a beautiful relationship. I pray me and my daughter are this close when she’s a teenager 😅🤎 It’s interesting to me how many women who end up in narcissistic relationships are service providers like hairstylist, nurses, etc. Praise God you got out! 🫶🏾
Thank you so much! And you’ve made a very good point about Narcs taking advantage of service providers. I wonder if it’s because we’re wired to have empathy for others and to give and give and give.🧐
@@GenieNicoleTV That’s EXACTLY what I think it is! 🎯 We are also really good at anticipating the needs of others before they even know. We take a “great customer service” approach to all of our relationships and forget we should be taken care of as well
Wow, just found your channel,was married to a Christian narc who also physically ab#sed me for 2 years, lost my mind, almost lost my life too,i had to leave,God has been helping me heal. Thank you for sharing, your daughter is very pretty and smart

I think a lot of Christians need to realize, just because someone identifies as a Christian and attends church regularly and is active in the church, and maybe they tithe, maybe they sing in the choir, heck maybe they’re the Pastor….that doesn’t mean they are husband or wife material. That doesn’t mean they aren’t abusive. That doesn’t mean you will be equally yoked with them. Thanks for sharing your story and I hope that people pay attention to this and learn from your experience.
To be honest, I assumed that I already knew this. Your comment tells me that you may not have encountered narcissism within a church setting. It is a very humbling experience, to say the least. Thanks anyway
This is sadly true
It doesn’t mean they are a “true Christian “
May I add even they have been baptized
Some of them even "pray" a lot
I've been married to a narcissist, together for a total of 8 years. Our daughter's name is also Genesis. How funny. I have left and taken my children to a shelter. Please pray for us. I know the Lord will provide but I need prayer.
My God. 🙏🏾I’m definitely praying a hedge of protection around you and your kids. May the Lord keep you and lead you. I pray that He connects you to and surrounds you with the right people that’ll advocate for you and be a village to you and your babies. Hang in there and take it one day at a time. He will never leave you nor forsake you🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I went to a shelter with my babies leaving the narcs and my relationship with God became stronger than ever! Keep praying and seeking Gods counsel through the judgment and stigma. Gods got you 🙏🏽
🙏🏾
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT GO BACK. BLOCK HIM IF YOU CAN. SEE IF YOU CAN GET A RESTRAINING ORDER BECAUSE EVERY TIME YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH HIM, IT’S GOING TO SET YOU BACK.
See if you have house of Ruth near you. They have transitional housing.

I like the fact that your daughter was able to experience this early in life so she'll recognize the signs of a narcissist in the future.
Yes! I’m grateful that she knows the signs now. She knew before I did🥴🤦🏾♀️

Your relationship with your daughter is really beautiful. She is so wise for her age
Thank you so much💕💕💕
@@yzma6142 that's exactly what the narc wanted to ruin. They hate to see people getting along. They are masters at destroying relationships by cooking up lies or exaggerating half truths.
Your daughter is very wise. She saw the red flags from the beginning. The short dating phase, surface level, vulnerability, the love bombing, the addiction etc. Our children are truly a gift from God.
@@FavorNFamineYeeessss. Most definitely! 🙏🏾💕
It is insane how all narcissists are EXACTLY the same! I feel like I attract them and I am trying so hard to recognize the signs early on. Addictions, bad with money, always the victims, mood swings, always starting arguments, selfish. Thank you for sharing your story and allowing your daughter to share her perspective.
Whew! You’ve named basically everything that describes them! And I believe that they’re the same because it’s a spirit operating behind them all. Same spirit but different face
Exactly 💯
@@ja9293🙏🏾💕
I attracted them all the time as well. I was listening to Anointed Fire and Tiphani Montgomery. You have to kill the idolatry in your heart for these type of people. Anytime we idolize these people Abba will always allow them to turn on us. I had to tell the truth I did idolize them. I was more anxious and they were more avoidant and I looked up to how people respect them and all their accomplishments.
Now I look to YHWH and I ask Abba to let my discernment work. I am obedient to the discernment. 🙏🙏🙏
@@876tisha Yes. I’ve done Tiphani’s monthly fasts to break any idols that were associated with this. It’s definitely been eye opening!
Your daughter's demeanor reminds me so much of my younger self. So happy, giddy and full of life. Shes also very eloquent and a beauty ❤
Aaawwwe. God Bless you and thank you for your kindness. You are a sweetheart 🥰💕💕💕
I have a one year old daughter and this relationship makes me so excited for the future! Amazing to see! Love the giggles and happiness
Thank you☺️💕💕💕
If I were to have a daughter I hope to have a relationship like yours. So sweet.
Thank you so much💕💕
I was married to a narcissistic Pastor for 27 yrs., and the LORD delivered me and my children out of his bondage!! God revealed it all and I had no help from the church and its leaders (which is a sin and a shame). You nailed it sis!! What you see in the public is not what we get in the private. They show their best selves in public to gain peoples approval and applauses with their charm. So that when it all hit the fan and you decide to leave, you're the villain and they're victim! My ex hated my relationship with our children too and tried to turn my daughter against me, but it DID NOT WORK, she saw straight through it!!! And my son was the one that saw that he had a narcissistic spirit on him! My ex-narc never loved us, everything is conditional and about them, they are very jealous and envy of you because you have what they want (love, empathy, compassion, etc.). We are only ponds on their chess board, and they see us as extensions of them not our own individual selves. They are demonic beings, and I could see the demon in his eyes! They cheat, control, lie, steal, manipulate, gaslight, betray, and turn people and family members against you. They use scripture and God for the justification and benefit. It is all a set-up to destroy you from the very beginning. This is why you met their presenter and not their true identity until you say, "I do!" Thank God for delivering me and my children, I am free now and living my best life in Jesus Christ!
Whew! You nailed it!!!! Everything you said is 100% TRUE!
Have you made a video on it. Was the red flags truly hidden at dating & fiancé stage??
what was the devotional life like at home? Did he initiate ? Did he have an interest?
The psychopath I was married to stole our daughter thru manipulation and deception she was brainwashed and does not want anything to do with me her loving mom 😢
What steps did you take to get away without any help? I’m trying to get away. We don’t have any help and very limited resources. He sabotages everything.
I’m so glad I came across this video! My narcissistic ex-husband was a “devout” 7th Day Adventist and put on this front of being so helpful and self sacrificing to church members while being completely cold, absent, and MEAN at home. These people have two faces and the ones closest to them unfortunately see the worse side.
Omg. You said it best! They have 2 faces, and those closest to them see the worst! I think that’s why my ex had an estranged relationship with his family. Not close at all. SMH
Yes married to a covert narcissist Seventh Day Adventist...very cold and heartless...
Two faces. Whew. That’s a statement. Unfortunately I’ve seen Satan in the flesh because of this.
Narcissists CANNOT be “Christian” because NO FRUITS of the spirit blossom off of the vine !!!
Rotten Vine
Rotten Fruit
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
W O W this hit me!! What a great and deep revelation! On point!! Thank you!!!
Therefore they always seek people with reep fruit (of the spirit) to get „food“ from them. Because they themselfe are dissconnected from God
@@ta3149Whew! Amen! That’s revelatory! Thank you for sharing!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾
@@GenieNicoleTV Thank you Nicole 🙏🏻🤗
Many Christians do not understand the depth and demons connected to narcissism that is why their counsel does not fit the situation...Thank you for sharing your story. God bless you. ps. Your daughter is beautiful :).
I completely agree! And thank you so much:)💕💕
That part. Hard to rcv good counsel when dealing with that.
Complete truth..their counsel don't hold water at all because some don't understand how damaging narcissism can be and also because some church leaders ate also mentally unstable😢😢😢..so pathetic, we are living I a sad world with pretty faces.no one can save you from a narcissistic person only God does...its 8months since I left my ex husband but I hv never been at peace eishhhhhhh
The world don’t know
It had to be God Himself that allowed me to come across this video. I’m currently in a separation and waiting on the Lord to give me the green light to divorce my narc husband. I cannot wait to be 100% free, I wouldn’t wish a narcissistic relationship on my worst enemy.
Wow! May God Bless you and keep you as you wait. It’s certainly a difficult situation. I never saw myself divorcing but when God plainly spoke to me, I realized that staying would’ve meant being disobedient to the Lord. I’m SO thankful for the opportunity to have a clean start!
The constant push and pull is damaging
omg! Yes! Gave me whiplash 😳😳😳 It keeps you in a state of stress and walking on eggshells
Girl I thought I was the only one I am going through a divorce right now I was the blame for everything or my kids that were not his was the blame I found my self always trying to back track to see what I did wrong walking on egg shells he abused me an my moms even our baby daughter we have in common he threaten me. I couldn’t take my daughter back to New York, so I left for my boys at that moment. I thought I was what was best to save our lives literally because of their being weapons guns in the house I am fighting for my daughter for her return she is only two years old and I’ve been going through it, I moved back to New York. I miss her so much. Only God knows I pray the Lord does a miracle and return her back to me sooner than soon. I pray thelord will free you my sister because those people will never change. You will live a miserable life.

Wow! Good for you! 💕💕🫶🏾🫶🏾
Extremely important topic! Great timing. I am a survivor of narc abuse as well, and have survived two narc relationships with Christian men. I think this may the most dangerous type. God bless you and thank you for sharing

Dangerous type indeed, my mother in law is a pastor ( founder of a church) but she was enabling her son to abuse me😢
Thank-you! I am SO grateful God via TH-cam helped me find you. I am still married to a narcissistic man but we are separated and I have gone no contact on him for 1 year. Your description is so familiar: an inflated view of himself, making rules for his wife that he himself does not follow (double-standards), projecting his flaws/issues on his wife, picking fights out of the blue, and his wanting so much "respect". I was hoping to hear from more Christian women who have overcome a narcissistic husband with children involved. Keep up the fantastic mission!
Thank you and may God continue to Keep you and Bless you! 💕💕🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Your daughter is so insightful, well-spoken, emotionally mature and beautiful just like you! Great job mama!
You are so kind🤗🤗💕💕
I loved this. I'm dealing with a narc marriage and can relate to everything that you all said. It's definitely revealing season as it seems like a lot of people are "waking up" now. I'm glad you both can laugh about it now
Yes! The Lord is setting His people free before He returns🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
They love division. Same in my situation, he wanted to destroy the bond between me and my daughter. They hate the closeness bc they aren’t capable of having genuine, close relationships..:Plus, it’s a way to isolate you.
Yeeessss!!! It was exhausting trying to constantly appease him! It’s like me and my daughter had to sneak around just to hang out. He was so irritated at our bond🥴
@@GenieNicoleTV OMG!!! Same!!!
Relatable
I love the fact that you can actually laugh about the past. Know that it wasn't always like that. The return of your joy and peace shows growth. Happy for you both ❤
Thank youuu🙏🏾💕☺️
When I hear your story, it’s like we were living the same life. His addiction was gambling. It is mind blowing! And the talk about respect and submission. And the victim mentality.
Yeeess!! They’re obsessed with people submitting to THEM and catering to THEM but they never intend on paying that same respect to others! Double standards all the time
I had the same experience when I sought my previous church for counseling. I just kept being told to work on myself pretty much and to understand his behaviors. My ex-husband used it to continue to manipulate me and everyone around us.
Yes ma’am! That’s exactly what happened to us. I pray that churches and those who are in church leadership start waking up to this!
I really appreciate Genesis' perspective. This is so unique to get her view of the entire experience.
Yes! We forget that they've experienced this right along with us.
I was “married” to a narcissist for a decade. Glad to be out. Please understand that narcissism is prevalent in the black community. Be careful dating out there!
Ohhh Wow! 😳
Thank you. My ex was actually white, but that’s interesting to know😏
So true, they are everywhere!
@@GenieNicoleTV Please take time to heal ,educate yourself , on narcissism, fill your life with hobbies, passions ,work, meaningful relationships like friendships and family. Most therapists recommend people at least after the discard before you put yourself in the dating world. Personally Although I am frankly no mental health professionals, I recommend you take at least a few years to fully discover your authentic self. Once you are comfortable being single and alone if you get into a new relationship the moment you notice red flags you ran for the hill and don't bother trying to save or rescue the narcissists.
The spirit of Narcissism does NOT discriminate based on race, gender, disability, nationality, social status, height, weight, age, denomination, or anything else. Narcissism is NOT more prevalent in the black race. There is no truth in that. It is all inclusive!
Howbeit, it may be more shunned to talk about within some races. Therefore help is not seeked by the victims. Hopefully that will change soon with more talk of mental illness & mental health.
@@kevinlaleaubeing married again is so far from my mind right now. I’m only interested in growing more intimate with Jesus, rediscovering who I am as a person, and enjoying this stage of parenting my adult daughter.

Thank you so much to you and your Daughter for making this video and for sharing your hearts with us!!!! I LOVE your Mother/Daughter bond! There’s nothing like teaching your Daughter early as possible about toxic people. Unfortunately, Narcissistic people are in the church and some happen to be leaders in the church. That really hurts the church community and sometimes will cause people to leave the church. I dated a narcissist for six years and he wore a man of God mask too!!! I didn’t know what a narcissist was until I heard his youngest son call him a narcissist at age of 12 or 13. Once I started my research of narcissistic personalities and relationships, the light bulb totally went off and I began to really pay attention to every little detail. Thank God for blessing me to be able to safely leave. I just want you to know that you are such a wonderful and blessed Mother and your Daughter is also super intelligent and blessed as well. Your advice was on point for the church leaders too!!! Please continue to make these videos. You and your Daughter are a true blessing.
Thank you so much for sharing your story and being so encouraging 🥹🥹 I’m glad that you made it out as well! 🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️
What a blessing and thank you for sharing. Yes as Christians we ignore red flags. Same here I was married to a covert narcissist 18 years. Now divorced one year. I met my ex husband at church and he displayed all the charm and affection. Down the road he was a serial cheater on multiple dating sites, he gave long silent treatments over the smallest disagreements, but was nice to me only in front of others, he withheld sex and intimacy. Our son noticed his dad not speaking to me. I knew the chronic silent treatments were intended to hurt and break me.
This allowed him to go out and cheat. Yes your body knows sis.
I’m so happy God gave me the courage to leave. I’m healing, going to church, reading the Bible, working out , traveling and going out with meet up groups.
Yes! The silent treatments are the worst! He wouldn’t even speak to me at home but was ready to “preach the gospel “ to his neighbors at work in public. 🥴
Silent treatment for weeks and sex withdrawals, hectic...
Most of the women who made comments on this your video are just a pathetic bunch of liars. They mean all their so called ex-husbands are Covert Narcissists according to your definition? All these women had no faults, they never misbehaved in their marriages, they never cheated, they were all submissive to their husbands, they never lied to cover up their own wrong doing, COME ON LADIES!!! STOP DECEIVING YOURSELVES! Marriage is not for everybody. There is nothing to CELEBRATE ABOUT DIVORCE AND MANY OF YOU ARE HERE CELEBRATING YOUR DIVORCE WHEN GOD SAID HE HATES DIVORCE. SHAME ON ALL OF YOU. I am an African man who have been married for 25 years now. A lot of the characters you associate with Narcissism I have also found with my wife. Will that justify me to get a divorce, the answer is NO. We work on our marriage to make it better. It is hard but very possible to get right if we are willing, obedient and humble. Marriage is not for your happiness alone. It is for companionship and procreation of Godly children. If you only just want to be happy, please never get married for you will marry for the wrong reasons. How many of you here are Christian women?. If you claim that you are a Christian woman and you are celebrating your divorce, your Christianity is fake. Believe me! The Christian bible says that '"Love covers over a multitude of sins, 1 Peter 4:8"". We can no longer forgive, we cannot ignore and tolerate, we ourselves are not willing to change our behaviors too and we blame it all on our husbands and others. Most women I know don't like to submit to their husbands. They don't like accountability and taking responsibility for their actions too. Often times, you place your children above your husbands and at least damage the minds of the children towards their fathers. You manipulate your husbands regularly to get what you want. Often, when the man refused to be manipulated, then he becomes a Covert Narcissist. May God have mercy on all of your bad mothers and ex-wives out there.
So crazy it’s like we lived the same life! The stress I experienced from my narc ex husband made my physical health deteriorate FAST!
Yes ma’am! I came down with health issues out of No Where!
Same!!
I got hypothyroidism disease from my narc husband
@@Brookm-e2qWOW. 😔 Crazy how the symptoms are so similar 🥴
Raised my blood sugar from the stress.
Great topic! I experienced a narc and my daughter was the one who saw through his spirit. She said his presence didn't feel genuine. You have to protect your peace and your babies. Although, I always wanted to be married again I knew protection of the mind is better.
Yes! I completely agree! Another marriage is definitely not the first thing on my mind right now.🥴😩😩
@@GenieNicoleTV facts!
Your daughter is so wise for her age. I’m 31 and just learning all of this after my own experiences. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you so much 🤗
You 2 are so beautiful. Your light and love for each other shines bright through! So good to see he did not dim that. Thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you so much! He definitely tried to. I’m just so thankful that we can still smile and laugh. We’re free to be close without the narc getting jealous
Short dating, none of your family liked him, daughter feeling the burden of saying yes to his engagement… there’s a lot to unpack. I’m glad you both are well, but sister you deserve so much more than just enough. And your gut is there to protect and preserve you. Even when no one around you says anything. Trust yourself.
I’m still in the process of learning to trust myself again. But yes. You summed it all up!
@@GenieNicoleTV sending you virtual hugs. Please be easy on yourself in the process. A lot of us have had to learn (and are still learning) these skills as adults. ❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing your story, I was married to Narc for 4 yesterday. And your story sounds like Mines. Narcissist appear clean cut, but behind close doors they are nasty. He did Not say Bless You when I sneeze. The loved a nasty bathroom or kitchen. It was some sort of Trauma to have old cars, old everything. I have been No Contact for 2 years now❤ thank you again for sharing it helps us all that have been through it, know we are not the only one❤
My gosh! I screamed as I read your comment because you are SPOT on!!! That infuriated me to no end that he continued making our bathroom and kitchen nasty. Ugh. But he’d criticize me for being messy. 😳🥴
Love watching your healing journey with your daughter (she is such a smart well spoken queen) .
Projection- Narcissist accuse you of exactly what they are actually doing themselves.
Triangulation- Narcissist either by comparing or pitting against each other unknowingly put two people against each other.
Whew! Nothing but truth here
Are you ladies literally talking about my entire life with my ex...this is crazy that other people have went through stuff like this.
Wow. I can’t believe it’s so many people with similar situations. That’s how I know it’s demonic too. Same spirit but different faces working through these men to destroy the body of Christ 🤦🏾♀️
@GenieNicoleTV yes indeed... my ex-husband's pastor made him a deacon in the church without even speaking to me first when we were married. My son and I were sick that Sunday he was appointed and I just sat looking at the live stream in disbelief as to why this pastor didn't have discernment of my ex-husbands spirit...and he is still a deacon at that church after I told the pastor during our counseling session before we got divorced about all of the emotional abuse he put me through shortly after our marriage. I'm constantly asking Jesus to give me discernment as He prepares me for my forever Holy Spirit filled husband so I don't have to go through what I did ever again and not seeing a man's true self.
I know right! It’s like listening to your own experiences.
Just found you. You are an inspiration.
And your daughter is wise beyond her age❤
Thank you so much 🥹🫶🏾💕
Beautiful❤ we love to see a mom and daughter duo. My daughter is teaching me so much about myself as a parent and woman. Great female influence for my brain
Love that! And I agree! We can learn so much from our children 💕💕😌
Glad you all got out of that chaotic environment and thank you for sharing your truth! You are speaking spot on when it comes to this type of individual.
I have experienced the same situation as you and your daughter concerning my child. He was jealous of our relationship for no apparent reason. He would find an invalid complaint about us that never corresponded with the facts of the matter. It was one of his weird tactics to prove nothing just so he could be intentionally in anger mode.
I thought he was a great, God-fearing person who truly believed in exemplifying the fruits of the spirit. He started out as kind and attentive, but was really mimicking the empathetic, spiritual nature of me to bait me into his shenanigans.
These are some dangerous people to deal with on so many levels whether it’s mental, physical, emotional, financial, spiritual, etc. Their actions are subtle and rooted with extreme manipulation. The relationship simply revolves around their desires and them looking innocent to the public. But yet, behind closed doors the disrespectful, argumentative, unapologetic behavior is seen. Also, your perspective will never stand with them because they are always right, even when they are wrong. They are exempt from accountability in their eyes. The longer you stay, the more comfortable they get with coming out of their pretend role.
My overall point is, it is an unhealthy space with no peace at all. They will do whatever it takes to break you down and carry the same issues into the next relationship because they refuse to address their real internal problems. Please run from this type of person and NEVER EVER look back!
My gosh! I agree! You’ve said nothing but the truth!💯💯🙏🏾💕🙏🏾
@@GenieNicoleTV I promise there is more, just too much to type when explaining their rollercoaster patterns. It is good seeing people like yourself openly discussing this topic when it comes to being in a narcissistic relationship. Many will not speak up and unfortunately will continue to stay in the cycle of abuse due to the fear of being judged for making a safe decision to get out.
Thank you so much for sharing. God bless you and your daughter mightily.❤🙏🏾
Thank you so much. God Bless you!
Your daughter is so cute!!! I can tell you did a great job mama!!🥹😘😘
Aaawwwe. Thank you so much! I’m grateful 🥹🥹💕💕🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thanks you Genie and Genesis for the message! This is most definitely common. I agree that people (women in particular) should not be encouraged to remain in a narcissistic relationship. It is detrimental to the overall health and sanity.
Yes! It’s disheartening how many are encouraged to stay, even at the expense of their health and sanity. Thank you for watching Tootie💕💕
@@GenieNicoleTVNo thanks needed! Thank you for being vulnerable and open to express your past experiences to hopefully make a difference in others lives.
I love how you say we were in the situation. I often say that to my daughter as well. There’s something special about being able to heal because you chose to do it for your children! I’m also glad I. Woke up too!
Right!! You get it! 💕💕🙏🏾🙏🏾
Your story is so similar to mines …my marriage lasted only 3 years and the Lord was the one who separated us because like you said everyone around us keeping encouraging counseling to which we began as soon as we got married. I stop listening to church people and began listening to God. He showed me so much and let me tell you when my ex left he left me high and dry and God took care of me and I ended up with the house to which was in foreclosure and I had no job …God saved it all for me and this year after 2 years my divorce was final. I was elated to not be connected in anyway to that man. I forgive him and pray for him and his soul but sadly he was a wolf in sheep clothing that went undetected. He also had a food addiction and was horrible with money and was constantly lying and acting so petty and childish. The things I was going through made my sister tell to look up what a narcissist is and then that led me to check out what a sociopath was and he fit the bill. It was God that said “you know your in a toxic relationship” and I was like “no im not, I’m too strong for that” and the Lord said “not mentally, he’s breaking you down mentally”. I was blown away because that was happening. I’m free now and great things are happening in my life ❤ Keep your focus on God and He will direct your steps and blow your mind …don’t worry about what people have to say or think because God will vindicate you
Giiirrrl! Yessss! God literally told me that if I stayed that I’m helping the toxic behavior at that point. Whew! I thank God for leading us and saving us all!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
This is so true. I can relate to it all. Different person in private than in public. Constant criticism and lack of compassion or intimacy. Very insecure- constantly accused me of cheating at or looking at other men or ignoring him. I Was so defeated! Christian women offering counseling had no clue how to counsel a woman in an abusive relationship and often hinted to not being gentle and quiet as the reason for the state of the relationship- not the blatant and unrepentant sin of the husband. Finally God freed me. the argument came after I asked him if he had seen my son’s necklace. I anguished for two weeks not even wanting to ask because I knew I would have to pay a price. I did and he told my son and I that we could not just an accuse him without paying a price. I realized then I did not want my son growing up in this environment where he could not respectfully ask a question. All the years of criticism and cruelty overflowed and I started to scream “I’m so angry!” Because I never allowed myself to even consider that I had a right to be unhappy. He told me to leave our home. I quietly said I will be gone by the summer. Later he took it back (he had already told me to get out many times before) and said the Bible never counseled any woman to leave her husband. I went upstairs and prayed. Fully submitting to whatever God said- stay or go. I resolved to stay silent until the Lord spoke to me. I drifted off to sleep and had a dream- it was me and God watching the story unfold with Hagar and Ishmael. The first time she left because of the cruelty of Sarai. The lord asked me “what h happened next?” I immediately began to repent in the dream saying “lord you sent her back!” and the Lord said “wait. What happened next?” I said “she went home and he sent her away again.” And then he said “and then what happened”. I said “and you promised to bless her snd her son and provided water” and then I woke up.
In that time the Lord made a way for me to buy a condo that I had prayed for for years. He provided everything for me. He has been so kind. He finally revealed that he died for my heart- not my marriage. That I was trying to save my marriage and it was destroying my heart. My heart was too precious. He released me from my marriage.
I am still in the process of recovering my self esteem but I am happier and have the freedom to pursue God without fear of retaliation, criticism or judgment.
God is good. Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Lean not into your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him. And he will show you which path to take.
1 year from now my divorce is final. I did not seek alimony or equitable distribution. I went a year without alcohol or wine to show proper mourning for something God never intended - the tearing apart of one flesh- but allowed it for the sake of his daughter who was being destroyed.
God bless all women who find themselves in the care of a cruel, abusive man. Seek God. Be holy because he is holy. Never repay evil for evil. Forgive and resist bitterness. He will tell you which steps to take. Be blessed.
My God! This was my story. Got a divorce this month makes 3 years. He too left me high and dry when I had no job.
BEAUTIFUL ❤❤ Daughter inside and out!
God Bless you all.
Thank you❤️❤️
I wasn't married to one, and I sometimes struggle with trying to understand if he was narcissistic. But all signs point to it. Manipulation, emotional roller coaster. I'm currently still trying to heal. Same as you I was a single parent over ten years. Dealt with narcissistic baby daddy as well. I though my ex was really receiving of my son, yet a year and a half in he always seemed to point out tings my son did. Though it was just him helping with him being a male figure. But then it got worse once we made almost 3 years and moved into a house together. He started lying and just oicking for no reason. Saying I wasn't parenting, told me my son was horrible. Would say my son was gonna beat me up. Yet it ended up being him attacking my son and then me jumping in to my son and I both fighting him. I'm still asking my son how he's feeling. asking is he upset with me for taking that all the years. This has been a hard year still but Im moving forward
❤️❤️❤️
I pray for you and your son healing ❤
Yep! Samesies!18 yrs🙋🏽♀️. Thank God for divorce🎉🎉🎉 Single 6 yrs now👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Ohhh wow! God Bless you! 😄😄🙏🏾💕
God got you... The right man will come through soon. In Jesus Name
This has blessed me soooo much. I was in a relationship with a narcissist for 5 years. He was not a Christian but would attend church with me for months, get delivered, then be very angry all over again right after service . There were so many layers for all those years, plus we had two children in addition to my first daughter from a previous relationship. She reminds me so much of your beautiful and eloquent daughter. Now that I am finally free from this guy I pray and aim to repair my relationship with my 1st daughter ensuring that’s it’s grounded in Our relationship with Jesus Christ. Thank you for posting!! ❤❤❤
🤗🤗❤️❤️🙏🏾
Thanks for sharing your story, I went through the same and my children was the one who told me to leave their dad, best decision ever.
Amazing how these children know! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you for sharing your story. You both are an encoragement to me. I have been with my husband for almost 6 years, married for almost 10 months. For 4.5 years our relationship was good. We had disagreements here and there but nothing out of the ordinary. I relocated and so he was now living with me and approximately 2 months later there was a drastic change in his behavior. We started arguing everyday to the point where I was waking up anxious about the day. All of the character traits that have been described by you and your daughter along with the ones mention in the comments he exhibits. I recently found out about narcissism and since have been educating myselfin the topic. I have decided to leave my marriage because it's now gotten to the point where infidelity is in question, the trust has been lost because of all the lying, not to mention the lack of respect at home and in public that recently surfaced. Sometimes I thought I must be mad to be putting up with his behavior not to mention comprising in conversation and opinions to temper the arguments. What I liked most about your video is to see that you have both recovered from your experience with a narcissist and that you and your daughter are happy. She's a beautiful young lady. God bless you both and thank you for sharing your story.
Thank you! And thank you for sharing your story! There’s definitely light at the end of the tunnel! Nothing and no one is worth losing your peace over. And I realized that God does NOT treat me this way. There’s no way that Jesus shed his precious blood for me to remain in bondage! So I took my chances and divorced. Been much more peaceful for sure!
God Bless You and Keep you!🙏🏾💕🙏🏾💕
Amen!
Daughter has the sweetest smile ever so.pure❤
Thank you so much. Yall don’t even know what these compliments did for her. There were a few trolls on here complaining about us laughing and me having her on here. It really hurt her feelings. So I do thank you all who are positive. From the bottom of my heart. 💕💕💕
Freshness, youth and happiness triggers people.
This is good to know. Thank you for sharing. I was in a few relationships that carried narcissistic spirits & I didn't know. Those relationships were so painful to be in. I thank God I'm out of that relationship & know what to look for the next time I date.
I know that’s right. Eyes are definitely wide open now!
I know that’s right. Eyes are wide open!
Sounds like my husband 🤯 our stories are so similar it’s almost scary. I’m finally leaving my marriage for good, 3 year anniversary was august 4th smh. Thank you so much for this video
💕💕💕
Your daughter is like mine. We laugh and talk like girlfriends. It is amazing how they are like old souls. We are truly blessed to have them.❤ Yes so true single Moms are a package deal. When talking about the future if they mention more about just you and him. It is a warning sign.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am so glad I found this video. I divorced my narcissistic ex-husband 1 year ago in July and we've been separated 2 years this past May (the father of my 8 year old daughter). He's now living with and in a relationship with the mistress he cheated on me with for 4 of our 8 year marriage. our daughter tells me a lot of things that they do and say to her that I know are manipulation and it's so hard for me to not speak up sometimes (some things I do clarify for her; other things, I know she will see as she gets older like your daughter). But hearing it from a teenage girl has really helped me. I've been intentional about creating a "safe space" for my daughter to express her feelings (and boy does she do that, lol) but I do know that she doesn't have language yet for some of her bigger feelings. Thanks!
Sounds like you’re doing an AMAZING job with your babygirl. She will be fine:)💕💕🙏🏾🙏🏾
Whoa whoa whoaaaa. Your video popped up on my time-line and all i can say is it is soooooo scary how similar our experiences are. Thank you for using your voice of boldness to share. I ESPECIALLY want to echo your sentiments regarding how "church folk " need to STOP ignorantly assuming they know what's best for you! 9/10 most are ILL-equipped to even BEGIN to understand!
Yeeeessss! VERY ill equipped!!
WOW, DEFINITELY NEEDED This! I have passed radical acceptance. This is right in line sis. Amen and Happy Sabbath.....It's a whole nutherrr category narcs teaching the Bible....you definitely toughed it out the best you could family wise. I pray that Yah continues to heal you and your family
Thank you! 🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️
I'm so glad I came across this video. There were times I would question myself in regards to my faith and forgiveness and wanting to be a better wife. So I would overlook things and I would end up staying. The only problem is that things continued to get worse. We have been married since January. I'm currently in the process of separation, moving towards an annulment because this last thing that happened was the last straw. When it's involving the church it is difficult because they put on a mask in front of other people but at home turn into this totally different person. I already dealt with that type of thing growing up and I thought he understood that... but maybe he understood too well! Much Love. Thank you for sharing.
I wish I had left after the first separation that followed a physical altercation after only 6 months of marriage. You’re not crazy. You’re smart
@@GenieNicoleTV Thank you. Appreciate your videos. They're helping. Congrats on walking into your new season. 💜
Wow! You have just told my whole story. This was amazing! And I love you and your daughter relationship. Thank You for this
Thank you so much.💕💕 It’s crazy how many of us can relate
Thank you for your story and the hope there is for others💯
Thanks for listening
You have done an amazing job with your daughter. Wise at such a young age. We can see you are blessed and highly favored. As for the top , thank God for his protection because these people are ill.
Thank you so much. I appreciate your kindness and I’m very grateful for God’s protection because they are very unstable and unpredictable
God Bless you for this video... It feels good to hear people validate the pain I went through from the evil man I called a husband for 21 years. I have been married to a covert Narc for 21 years and finally decided to file for a divorce. Please pray that everything works out and that my children and I have peace of mind.
Wow. I'm so sorry. 21 years sounds like an eternity when you are tied to Narcs. Definitely praying for God to move on your behalf and that He will move in a mighty way. Declaring Psalms 91 over you and your babies.
Wow, thanks for sharing your story. This sounds painful for both you AND your daughter. I hope y’all find healing from this painful part of your life.
Thank you for your kindness and encouragement. We are still healing but have come a loooong way🙂
Thank you for your transparency I had a male “friend” years ago just like this, although he never physically assaulted me, I did not recognize his toxic tendencies until we crossed the lines of friendship and became intimate…he was a narcissistic “pastor” who in my opinion preyed on my vulnerabilities and made me feel very insecure.
Giving “almost” compliments saying things like “ once you gain more weight in future you’ll reach your full potential.”
Then 5 years into debauchery because it was not a friendship nor relationship…After I had my daughter and gained too much weight and wanted to loose it to go back to my prior weight it was “oh no the old you will never come back”. It was a toxic inconsistent physical relationship and he abandoned me as a “friend “ once I had my daughter as they’d be long stretches where he and I didn’t speak and he didn’t want to be my “friend “ anymore. He said he was hurt smh Meanwhile never had any intention to date or become more I felt like I was loosing my mind with the gaslighting feeling bad because everyone was what I did to Him. I’m celibate now and have relented and have devoted myself entirely to Jesus I forgive him and know now what a true man of God should look like. Thanks for sharing!
WOW! That’s a lot to process right there. I’m so sorry you went through that. You’ll find so much peace focusing on Jesus and your daughter. 💕💕🙏🏾🙏🏾
Of course, my daughter and G-baby, you know I love you guys bunches and bunches.
Both you and your daughter are absolutely beautiful. Nobody better not say anything wicked about either one of you especially your daughter. If they do, you call me and I am going to pull up. I’m sorry you went through that I went through an extremely unhealthy break up in a long-term relationship just like you. I learn so many life lessons. I hope you’re doing well and I’m sure you took the tremendous blessing from all of this. There is definitely pain and purpose and everything you go through that pain. Don’t waste it. I’m using voice recognition while safely driving I hope this doesn’t seem weird. Forgive me if it does.
Lol! I appreciate you!🤗🤗💕💕🙏🏾
Such people are those that "received seed among the thorns"
Omg! Yesss! Never thought of it like that but you are right!
Lovely daughter. Very intelligent.
Thank you!💕💕
I like the way the mother is relating to her daughter.i wish i had this😢
Thank you. Sending hugs and love to you💕💕🙏🏾🙏🏾🤗
I’m sorry that you lived that experience. I can definitely relate. I hope that God heals your heart and that you are able to cope through all the after effects. Dealing with narcissistic abuse with church counselors are detrimental in my experience. Thank God that you got through it.
💕💕🙏🏾🙏🏾
I know the feeling they do like 😮lack empathy and the fruit of the spirit
Straight EMPTY. Even when he attempted to comfort me in times of suffering, it felt empty.
I'm so sorry to hear this! So happy ya'll got out! This is so good! Thanks for sharing! I'm so proud of You!
Thank you GiGi! I’m so grateful that the Lord revealed the truth and delivered us out safely! Love you girl!💕🙏🏾💕🙏🏾
@@GenieNicoleTV Love you too! ❤️
Your daughter is very well spoken. My daughter watched me go through it in a narcissistic marriage too. I hated it but it will help them avoid abusive relationships in the future. Mine was a Pastor…”Christian” narcs are the worst kind. Glad you made it out and learned the lessons.
Whew! They’re definitely the worst!
OMG!! All of the things you mentioned are the EXACT SAME things I went through during my marriage. But praise God for an exit and an opportunity to reinvent my life which is now filled with His peace, clarity, hope joy etc. God is faithful AND able!!
My goodness! Yes He is!!!
I praise God and I’m so grateful that He opened my eyes and protected us!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I’m so glad you found the courage to leave before he totally drained the life out of you and your beautiful daughter! I’ve dated a narcissist, and that was the worst dating experience I’ve EVER had in my life! 😳
Draining is definitely what they are. They’ll drain every bit of happiness, joy, peace, and anything else good out of you!
Wow I am so tapped in. Your daughter is very mature and well spoken.
Thank you so much🫶🏾💕
What a sweet soul your Genesis is and I’m glad you were able to demonstrate self love and strength to your daughter.
Thank you so much. Showing my daughter what’s unacceptable and that she could change her situation if she made a mistake definitely drove me to leave as well. She deserved better💕💕
I am seeking separation from a situation in some ways similar in my marriage I going through a lot sometimes feel like I can't go another day, but the grace of God, thank you for this video, it is helpful to keep on track of separation and not getting sucked in again
May the Lord continue to keep you as you move forward. Hang in there!💕🙏🏾💕🙏🏾
I'm shook by how I feel like I'm actually having an out of body experience listening to my story. Wow!! It's sad to hear how many Narcs are behind pulpits.
It is VERY sad smh
Wow! We have almost identical events that happened, even having my child at the same age as you, and her responses to the narcissism. Girlllll this conversation could go on for dayssss
Ohhh WOW! 😮 That’s so interesting! It still blows my mind how many others can relate. Like, it’s reaffirming but also sad that so may have experienced the same thing! 🤦🏾♀️😒
I’m glad that you and your daughter are ok! 💕💕🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I am about four months post divorce and so much of your experience resonates with mine. I am so happy for you and your daughter to have gotten out of that situation. Continued healing, peace, and blessings to you both.
Oh wow! God Bless you for having the courage to leave! And thank you. 🙏🏾💕🙏🏾💕
First video I've seen and omgoodness, both of you ladies are absolutely beautiful, and the relationship you and your daughter have is so beautiful. ❤

Whew! Thank you so much for sharing your testimony! You have expressed this so eloquently, and I definitely relate to all of it. When I was done, I was DONE. I didn't want alimony nor for him to be repaid back for what he did because truthfully, I allowed it by staying and entering a union that was never God-ordained. I still pray for him to this day, that God will meet his needs and soften his heart.
God Bless you sister in Christ! I can hear the healing even in your comment:-))
🙏❤❤
Alsooooo you both are glowingggggg 😍🙏🙌. I have that type of relationship with my daughter and she can see right thru her Father as well. Your young lady is amazing. Speaks so well. God bless you into your future.
Thank you so much! God Bless you and your babygirl as well! I’m so glad that you’re both out of that craziness!
Sorry to hear what happened to you. I’m also very sorry that your daughter had to witness and experience the trauma of your toxic marriage. I pray she heals and not repeat those same cycles.
Thank you so much. That is my prayer as well🥹🙏🏾💕
You guys have such a beautiful relationship. I pray me and my daughter are this close when she’s a teenager 😅🤎 It’s interesting to me how many women who end up in narcissistic relationships are service providers like hairstylist, nurses, etc. Praise God you got out! 🫶🏾
Thank you so much! And you’ve made a very good point about Narcs taking advantage of service providers. I wonder if it’s because we’re wired to have empathy for others and to give and give and give.🧐
@@GenieNicoleTV That’s EXACTLY what I think it is! 🎯 We are also really good at anticipating the needs of others before they even know. We take a “great customer service” approach to all of our relationships and forget we should be taken care of as well
Wow, just found your channel,was married to a Christian narc who also physically ab#sed me for 2 years, lost my mind, almost lost my life too,i had to leave,God has been helping me heal. Thank you for sharing, your daughter is very pretty and smart
Omg. I’m so glad that you got out! May God continue to cover you and keep your mind in perfect peace! And thank you🙏🏾💕🙏🏾💕
@@GenieNicoleTV amen.. thank you
