    What helped me to not go back to that toxic and abusive relationship was I journaled and wrote down everything abusive that happened in the relationship so that when I had a weak moment I could go back and remind myself this is why I left.

      Im going to try that. I need reminders of why it ended and the reasons it didn't work and will never work. In my moments of weakness I can refer to my notes and NOT make that call

      Excellent! I did the same. Hundreds of pages of her trash talk and terrible Behavior. The book is close to me so I can read it anytime i may feel weak. Mine is not like journal. It's more like a police report that describes what happened, etc. I gave it to my attorney when I filed for divorce. :)

    I’ve done the opposite. I unloaded a toxic marriage during this time of strife and fear. Having to be quarantined with an abusive husband would have been absolutely horrible.

    I always went back to every toxic and abusive relationship until I took mentally sick I had to literally restart my life I felt that loneliness was something to be ashamed of . I started to learn Spanish online I also joined a music for beginners class to learn how to play the ukulele these distraction have not only learned me new skills they have shown me that what I was lacking in my life was self worth and belief my life has been turned around because I believe in myself .

      Totally agree! Good perspective. We all have work to do. Often the toxicity (disfunction) we see in someone else is easy to see, more difficult to see our own. Love your perspective. Thank you for commenting.

    Thank you Ashley. I can't thank you enough about how much your videos about bpd, codependency and toxic relationship helped me these days.
    My long d bpd ex broke up with me a month ago bc I couldn't visit her during this time (she has been in the devaluation stage for a couple months). It's the 30ish th breakup she has initiated and I have already been aware of the toxic pattern so I accepted it. She was so certain about the breakup at first but after a few days she started giving me breadcrumbs saying that she was depressed and lonely bc of the quarentine, and lashed out on me bc I chose not to be responsivr. Last week she threatened suicide out of nowhere, so I called her mom and then called the police. My ex was so angry that she claimed that I betrayed her love and trust.
    I still love her but I am out of this chaos. She has to see therapy and I have to deal with my codependency and the savior complex (she has a lot of past traumas and I spent almost all my energy trying to give her love and security)

    New to narcissistic universe. 70yr male living rural west. TH-cam my nearest companion during virus. (Not complaining) Ashley you see the problem and explain it well. Today I sidestepped a phoned-in love bomb, maneuvered around her manipulating conversation, speaking fewer words than she, but enthusiastically fluffing her - commending her efforts during covid19. She hung up feeling good, and I dodged the drama. Know it won't work long term, but I'm better equipped.

    • @LifecoachAshleyBerges

      It's a good start, it helps with emotionally distancing yourself. How will you continue in the process? Perhaps the next time she calls or text you may employ more grey rock type techniques?

    I bought a self discovery journal.. weekly therapy, and I've been watching videos like these!!! I am in control of MYSELF.. and your correct i did find him and he found me.. i am in control.. and my life has been a roller coaster and my self worth wasn't full when we met.. i am so hopeful and i know i can do this. As a 26yr old single mother business owner and who has left a real bad relationship when i was 20 (my son's dad) i knowww i can and will break free. I've been digging deep within my past childhood trauma despite how triggering it is with my therapist and Journaling. I hold onto this fairytale of this relationship with this man and I'm unsure why.. 2020 was a real hard year and i made myself a promise for 2021 to be my best self and to not allow toxic soul's so close to where they effect my daily life and emotions but i messed up and it's been bad. Better than before he seems more engaged but i need to wake the fudge up.. this isn't healthy. Screaming to be heard, being mean to just get stupid attention and being childish over a man who has really caused issues isn't what my journey is!!! I do know that but yet i allow him to suck me back in.. thank you for this video I've watched it twice now and you are very helpful.. I just want to focus on my child and be my best self. I dont want to be manic or have my cell in my hands when its my son's time arguing and text war type battle with this man but i get so worked up and would rather have bad conversations than none with him because yes i am lonely and bored even so i have my best friend with me daily, my son i am lonely for that connection, love and adult energy.. but im searching in the wrong places i need to search from within and heal and learn about myself before i can attract those positive beautifully loud bright vibration energy souls in.. it's really hard, but if it wasn't hard it probably isn't work/self work. From just this past summer to now i am stronger, i would of just gone on a tantrum but instead i wrote and watched this. Sorry for such long comments

    My ex lives across the road from me.. he has relapsed a few months ago. He lied endlessly about basically anything.. abandoned me for booze and girls on the internet.. I was with him for a year almost and it got really bad. I would lash out because he just wasn't listening and i felt stuck and hopeless, all i want/wanted was love.. and to be and give my love.. i cant look out my house windows without seeing.his apartment and his windows.. we split in july after we got physically and arguing and than i took him back months later, a week later he is using and being sketchy with girls and lying... guilting me as i guilt him. He is bringing out my WORST SELF.. recently the last few weeks i.let him back in. I have a 6yr old son who has seen such love from this man amd we do so good together but only for a short time and than that toxic cycle happens AGAIN AND AGAIN. I know i am stronger and deeply can free myself but its so hard, he is someone i love with all my soul. Its becoming so bad its making me manic.. this.mornig he blocked me because i was upset he had a drug selling dude over whom he was buying from just a month ago. I am 8yrs sober and im not sure what or why i started seeing someone who was activity using when we met. I feel dumb, manic, lonely... thanks for this video. It feels good to vent

      I suspected my husband always texting a lady on his phone We’ve been married for 18 years, we’ve both been happy together until recently when he switched side and I found out he has been cheating .I explained my story to a colleague at work then she introduced me to this genuine hacker, Darkwebprohacker who gave me access to his phone , I had complete access to his phone right on my own device and I could see all his activities for the past 2 years and also have access to new notifications, his text messages, Facebook messages,location, call logs, and I found out my husband was also flirting on dating sites..I love my husband a lot and I still don’t understand why he betrayed me , I have been a good hardworking wife and never for once cheated on him. I tracked him down and found out he was always going to sleep in another woman’s house with me thinking my husband is always at work for night shift. You can contact this great hacker who helped me found out the truth about my husband at darkwebprohack(at)gmail com or Whats app +19087998357 or text and call them directly on the same number.They helped me get access into his phone without even touching his phone.I have enough evidence against my husband and I am thinking of Filing for divorce.I want advice if I should give him another chance or let go? We have 2 kids together
