    Emotionally Abusive Narcissists Will Lose Their Minds IF Empaths Do These 10 Things // There are ten things empaths can do to turn the tables and cause emotionally abusive narcissists to be the ones to lose their minds, for a change.
    Here’s what’s true:
    The effects of long term exposure to an emotionally abusive narcissist can and will take a toll on your mental health.
    Whether it’s your emotionally abusive parents, emotionally abusive husband, emotionally abusive mother, emotionally abusive father, emotionally abusive wife, or anyone else who has a destructive narcissist personality pattern, the price we pay as a result of remaining enmeshed in toxic relationships with people on the spectrum of destructive narcissism is steep.
    Narcissistic people are highly toxic and manipulative. In addition, they feel entitled to exploit and deceive others, in particular, those who are closest to them.
    If you’ve suffered from the effects of narcissistic abuse, this video will equip you with the strategies necessary to take your power back once and for all.
    Enjoy!

    I’m an Empath that finally had enough! While during a phone call my now ex toxic alcoholic Narcissistic boyfriend had the nerve to say to me. “ I’m going to sleep on the idea weather I want to keep you in my life or not”! I simply stated in return “Let me make this decision quite simple. I am done with you! Good riddance!” I then hung up and immediately went NO CONTACT permanently and have been that way since October 😀! He has tried to open a dozen false Facebook accounts, however I never bother checking his accounts. I have moved on, joined the local gym, going out and am happier than I have ever been at 71 🥰.

      I've begun to see remarks and actions in a different light. Like a language. Decoding what's really being said. When he says something particularly nasty or unwanted, I'm training myself to hear, I know I'm losing control. I want it back. If you react, I've got it. And then I don't. Like translating language. Gibberish questions. Redundant remarks. Anything to get me to reply and eventually react, gets met with silence. I don't even bother trying to explain. I don't care what he thinks. If he pushes so hard that I can't get around it? I just say, you need to see a doctor. Until you do that and engage in therapy, there's nothing to talk about. And that stops him cold. Because he knows it's true.
      I used to crave interaction and attempts to build a relationship. I don't anymore. There's nothing there. There's no reason. He's just a guy I got tangled up with and I've got to untangle. Nothing more. There's nothing even to miss.
      I used to go around and round with myself. What caused me to interact with a person like this. What's wrong with me? To be honest? I still can't answer that question, other than somehow I got caught off guard. Something went wrong in my thinking. I can either live my life thinking that it might happen again, or I can learn now, remember the lesson, and move on. The truth will set you free

    What ive found about dealing with a narcissist, as soon as you stand up for yourself, they immediately go into victim mode. After so long of being constantly belittled, talked down to, talked to like you're stupid, disrespected, talked to like a dog, you eventually can't stand it anymore and let them have it. As soon as you take up for yourself, they immediately flip and turn into the "victim that gossips" to turn everyone against you and act like you owe them something. You apologize all the time but NEVER will you see them apologize.

      This happened to me and the only difference is that the narcissist already pushed their biggest support groups away and they tried to abuse me next but I’m like nah, bye. So they really don’t have anyone to gossip to except people that really don’t matter cause i don’t know them. The narcissist is currently trying to hoover me through forced interactions and unwanted gifts. 🎁
      Its annoying to say the least.

      I CAN RELATE TO THIS 100 %! Although I appreciate my ( friend) he does this to me almost everyday. I would rather live in my car than to have him treat me like that. I owe nobody any explanations. I will be honest, I have made a lot of mistakes, but it’s no one’s business to yell at me and treat me like a child. I will say this, that people who do these things to others ( it will come back to them), and I honestly feel bad for them, because of the feeling I get when I’m around them ( they will have to be around it 24/7. I can’t imagine having to deal with that constantly. It’s the only way they will learn though.

      yup, you nailed it! When you confront them about their not-so-subtle abuse, they present it as "concern for your well being", which serves two purposes: 1) you didn't appreciate their phony well intentioned efforts, which makes you an ingrate and them a victim and (2) they can further cast doubt on your mental health. I had a false friend for almost 25 years, let's just say that the saying "the benefit of the doubt" doesn't exist in my world anymore.

    Tamie, I've gone "no contact" with my horribly abusive, narcissistic grown up son for almost one year now. Best peace I've ever had, only wish I'd done it sooner. He said he feels no love, nothing from me, doesn't want a relationship, was constantly arguing every second he was around me. Things escalated when he started shoving me, knew it would lead to assault. What makes things worse is that his narcissistic, psychopathic father is still constantly coaching him big time, even to the point where my son called me the worst vile names. So hard to walk away from your own child, but had to do this to preserve my own sanity. No turning back now.

    I was married to a covert narcissist for 15 yrs. I figured him out pretty early on. These are the tactics I employed daily. It drove him nuts. I have an exceptional ability to control my own reactions so this was my superpower over him. He still made life terrible but I eventually left him. When he finally figured out that I wasn't coming back this time he gave chase. It completely shattered his ego and he spent all his time trying to pull every tactic to get me back but I was 2 steps ahead of him and I anticipated everything. He tried to take our daughter and turn her against me. I cut him off short. He tried burning money but I already safeguarded myself. Begging, going to treatment, stalking...I got a restraining order. He was completely powerless. Mlife did a 180 and I've never looked back. Anyone who is afraid to leave a narcissist I tell you this, no damage yhey do can be worse than the turmoil they will unleash on you for the rest of your life. You will look back and realize it was the best decision you EVER made. Trust me, I know.

    What's funny is, sometimes a narcissist will create drama and when you react they will suddenly ghost you or be "non-reactive" because that allows them to play victim to your reaction. So yeah, it's a good idea to be non-reactive, but sometimes it's actually the narcissist that uses that technique to play victim.

      All the advice on this video is great but once you’re also tired of the narcissist going crazy, start video recording them and tell them you’re doing so. Not only can you pull the video up later for them to see themselves, but they also won’t want you to show the world who they really are. I imagine it may not work on some and some might be violent but it definitely worked for me. When I start recording I repeat what they just said to me and ask them to explain themselves and give examples of what they are talking about.

      @@amberrose2956 I am married to a narcissist just like the one you describe your fiancée to be. But, It took me 6 years to realize what kind of person he truly is. His love bombing was extremely strong, he’s a very charismatic person and always knows just the right thing to say. But, his refusal to go to therapy for *himself* _unless I go with him_ is what got me wondering why the heck that is. Because when around other people, he’s very much the charismatic man I fell in love with-but for me, going to therapy only made being at home _alone_ with him afterwards, him analyzing every little thing I said became so miserable that I realized it wasn’t worth it for me but rather he needed it for himself. But he will not go! Ever since I caught him 2 years ago, having pulled back the curtain on who he *truly is,* definitely has changed his entire persona with me when we are alone. Unfortunately, for me, for our marriage, I caught him doing things behind my back on multiple occasions, not cheating but definitely withholding information that had I been doing he would’ve gone absolutely nuts! Especially if I had ever been doing things I know he’s against-like cheating. His ex wife cheated on him for years, so yea, he has baggage but I foolishly thought even though he’d gone to prison for drugs for 3 years-I thought he was a changed man. A good man. But he fooled me. He fooled me for 5 years of our marriage that he was *indeed the man I fell in love with* but now I know my rose colored glasses, and being raised by narcissistic parents plus just being so naive and young that I was being lovebombed, _until_ I caught him doing drugs… Ever since then, ever since I pulled back the curtain on who he truly is, he’s been accusing me of cheating on him. I recently got a job after not having one for 6 years, and the amount of distrust he has displayed to me since starting that job-tracking my location, showing up at random times to “make sure my Jeep is parked in the lot” to the point of accusing me of cheating on him when he didn’t see my truck parked at work because I had parked in a different lot-instead of actually coming into the store he automatically assumed I was cheating on him and ever since then (1 month ago) my life has been absolute hell! And, I feel trapped. I’m happier away from him then with him. Then I caught him doing stuff again and I wish I didn’t even call him out on it because all it has done has added more stress, disappointment and anxiety-I have had mental health issues all my life and with narcissistic family members who think my husband is the “best thing to ever happen to me” I feel more stuck than ever. Even my coworkers brag all the time on how great a human being he is and I just smile and nod. Yesterday, after another fight with 0 resolution leaving me restless and my insomniac tendencies leaving me awake all night as he slept like a baby… he had told me that every woman he has been with has cheated on him…so “he _knows_ that I will eventually do the same.” And I have just kept thinking, “how can he wonder why every woman has cheated on him *IF this is how he treats them!”* But, unlike the women he was married to before me, I believe in God and I stand firm in my belief and I took a *vow* that I plan on sticking out even though my life is less than ideal. Cheating on him wouldn’t make things better for me-I’d still be the “bad guy” but not just to him but to everyone else and therefore he wins… Soooo I’ll just have stick to taking advice like the ones in this video! 🤷🏻‍♀️ Like, for instance, I have to stop reacting when he so clearly is baiting me for a reaction cause at this point I think he gets great joy from getting that reaction. Unfortunately, for him, I have always enjoyed being alone and honestly never thought I would get married or have kids, so…with God and learning to stand up for myself, not let him walk all over me, and rejecting his need to get a “fix” from getting a rise outta me, I will persevere, I always have. I’ve been a scapegoat for so long now, I’m basically a pro. And, this may sound terrible but I am way younger than he is, plus his extremely unhealthy habits *ARE* going to catch up to him so basically I’m just waiting for him to die at this point- I DO NOT WANT THIS LIFE FOR YOU! Please, please reconsider! You have gotten to see behind the curtain waaay before you’ve even become stuck in your situation. You *CAN* say no, I do *not* want to marry you. I know this is God, He’s showing you now who your fiancé truly is and letting you get out of what could be-down the road-a very awful life where you’re just waiting for him to die. Please, do what is best for you! Please, don’t let this man and the others in your life hold you back from actually living a wonderful life in the future where you’re happy every day with a man you love and who loves you back with 0 conditions. But, instead loves you *unconditionally.* Please, for all us spouses married to narcissists- Get away before you lose yourself to/in someone who will never _truly_ love you back!!

      Please do not marry him! He will feel like he owns you and that he is entitled to knock you down every chance he gets. Everything he’s agreed to and been working on, will go out the window!!! It gets soooooooo much worse!! And divorcing a narcissist is horrid. Almost impossible. It won’t matter what you demanded or set up or arranged prior to the marriage. They see marriage as a “get out of jail free” card and never take accountability. They will secretly have everyone thinking you are the dumb pathetic fool for putting up with it. I waited 14 years and pretty much married him so he had health insurance. Worst thing I’ve ever done! I was completely destroyed. I never imagined I would end up in a situation like I’ve been in. I had so many people warn me and I was so naive. I thought for sure we made it past bad times and had an amazingly stronger connection. Yeah right!!!! I was a huge fool. Now I can’t get rid of him. Unless I give up my home (even though it’s a premarital asset) and pretty much disappear so I can try to be happy. I don’t even want to think about trying again with someone new at this moment because I’m so beat down emotionally. I finally remembered who I used to be and that I deserve so much better!!

      You are so right. It takes will power..but it works. I did that to an ex boyfriend. Broke up 14 years ago. Cut him off completely almost 10 years ago when I met my husband. This was great day: my husband took me to my favorite restaurant one afternoon several years ago as we were building our new house and guess who was there eating by himself? He saw us and nervously came to our table . We were nice and receptive. I invited him to join us and he did. He drank a gallon of margaritas. He also learned just how happily married I was and what a great and loving husband I have. My husband and I shared all the good and positive news going on in our lives with him. Although my husband didn't really know the man, he treated him like an old friend. I could tell that my ex bf hated every bit of it. (Of course I loved that) He couldn't believe that I moved on, left him behind and found a happy, loving relationship. (His life and relationships still sucked!). But I was nice and kind to him... indifferent. He had zero power over me and knew it. BTW...fast forward a few years...at the beginning of this year, I got a random, out of the blue text from him..."Happy New Year...I was dreaming about you..." I just smiled to myself and then walked over to my husband and said, "I love you!! You are the best thing that ever happened to me!!". And quietly, I thanked God for His blessings.

    Thank you for this Tamie, I grew up as the scapegoat of a narcissistic mother. I had to eventually go no contact, and a few years later she died. Over the years I’ve learned how to deal with what was done to me and now that I’m in the “Get Happy/Live your Best Life” part, here comes my sister, the Golden Child, turning into my mother and blaming me for my life being pretty good and hers being kind of empty due to her acting just like my mother! One more text outburst from her and she’s out, as this is not my first rodeo!

      Hi. Yes this is all absolutely right and true. I know because l've used these strategies and they worked for me but l am not married to the person. What on earth can the partner do when all that happens when they show any sign of strength and happiness provokes a vile aggressive response to the point of verbal and physical attack. If that doesn't get the required response,money or alcohol, the accusations of historic sexual abuse become so real in the narcissists mind that they appear totally convincing. I now know this has been used on previous partners who were not married, didn't have children and they escaped. The mother also behaves much the same and virtually moved in and tried every day to destroy the marriage. The partner got sucked in in defense of his wife and baby, managed to protect them and got the mother to leave by holding them to a written behaviour contract. Now years later, years of emotional abuse. From the partner, the mother and child are back in contact via phone and internet and they are constantly undermining the partner who ultimately buckles and complies in order to keep the peace around the child. It is not sustainable and the abused adult is showing signs of severely damaged mental health, stress anxiety, low self esteem and a recent declaration of suicidal thoughts due to feeling totally trapped.

It was time for plan B ( hoover), I responded by letting them know that I wasn't happy with how they'd treated me...then reverted back to ignoring and rejecting. Denied them the opportunity to do any damage control (HOOVER & LOVE BOMB). It was GAME OVER !!!

    This is good. I was dating a narcissist who bordered on violence. I didn't see it at first because I was naive and gullible. I finally had to leave to save my own sanity and sobriety. At first, i tried to maintain a friendly relationship which was vehemently rejected. I started talking about what my relationship with him. In fact, even though i was only with him for 8 months, it affected me for over 20 years. After a while, I started hearing stories of what he was doing to other women. A couple of them gave up their sobriety due to the abuse. currently have to see him from time to time. I do not acknowledge him. He does not exist. Although his violence has been limited to doors and walls, he is very dangerous, especially to women.

    At 61, I now realize my mom is a Narcissist and it explains so many questions I had my whole life. My mom was always detached, but put up an amazing facade as a great mom and wife. I never told anyone about the way she treated me at home. I was so close to my dad because he was the nurturing parent. And he was a Saint for putting up with her. Don’t know how he did it. My poor dad. I believe my mom was jealous of my close relationship with my dad. Very sad. At this later time in my life, I have chosen to not speak with my mom after her last full blown senseless attack on me. Just can’t and won’t take it anymore. What a shame.

It’s hard but you’ll get to the other side and be happy that the toxicity is gone from your life. Only then, do you truly heal. It’s been 10 years for me. But she made me hate my dad and now after knowing all her lies about him, I have him back in my life. One loss one gain.

      One of the most effective ways to fight back, if you will, IS THE TRUTH. {my 95 yr old mother STILL says: "Do anything you want... just DON'T LIE TO ME!} I'm in a place with my grown daughter who is, perhaps, wired like her dad {weaponized by him as well}... my one & only X after 30 yrs of marriage. AND has become absolutely brutal when faced with the TRUTH or even the THREAT of exposure via the TRUTH which causes her to go to ALL NEW depths of destruction.
      The problem I encounter IS: she is the mother of my Grandchild. My daughter has stopped allowing me to see the child. SHE thinks: {knows} AhHAH! OUCHEE!! I have caused YOU pain for the rest of your natural life!
      Her young daughter keeps secrets no child should have to keep. And in keeping the child isolated, her secrets are safe forever. ???
      I am simply astonished at her ever evolving skills at lying, distorting, deceiving and even her ability to "SET UP" a situation where she can discredit me is sometimes terrifying.
      What I've come to know is what I and my Grandchild are being subjected to is nothing less than, YES... elder AND child abuse which very few seem to see or understand.
      I feel STUCK even though I am a very strong person with strong moral values and as a rule, will not tolerate any form of abuse.
      I've been told: "Whatever you do, do not make yourself the villian in this. Let her be the villian." The child is smart and can see what is going on."
      I can only pray that the brainwashing she's subjected to will NOT stick with her and the 1st 6 yrs of her life with me will be burned into her memory.
      This is a "rough row to hoe"... I do not wish this on my worst enemy. May TRUTH and PEACE be your guide.

      I so agree with you, Channel Zero. I’m pretty much a hermit after dealing with a narc father, a narc ex, and recently a narc daughter. A daughter who straight up attacked in a rage telling me that “she was the most wonderful person that she knew, and that no one in the family treated her the way she deserved to be treated.” I’ve summoned up the will,and educated myself enough to know no contact is what I need and deserve in my life. Where are all the mature, emotionally stable people in this world? Narcissism is a pandemic.

    You have no idea how helpful these points are. My father-in-law is one of the most destructive narcissists on the planet. He’s not physically abusive, but emotionally and verbally abusive. For some reason, I am his target because I am an emotional person. From the moment I met him, I had the mindset of “respect your elders.” He has blown through over a $1 million in chase of a multi-million dollar yacht that he is going to purchase for himself and our family (not very big) to find small islands to spread Christianity. He has called me an evil, demonic mother. Because his words hurt me so bad, and no communication and all tactics you explain hurt my husband and his brother and mother. Everyone thinks I am being mean or rejecting him and everyone just wants peace. They don’t want him blowing up. I am the one who seems to blow him up most. I’m in a position of walking a fine line. No one will call him out as a narcissist even though a psychiatrist from the Mayo Clinic diagnosed with NPD, bi-polar disorder, depression, and anxiety. His a walking wreck. His 80 years old, and as the psychiatrist told us years ago, the narcissism is only going to get worse, and it will affect the family more than him by far. So thank you!

If I did not live with the attacker at the time, it’s my boyfriends mother the grandmother to my child yay. Don’t worry once we leave here I’m never bringing myself or my child around her ever again but in the meantime while I’m stuck I can only do what I can to protect us, I even called her out on it and told her that she can try all she wants to get me to physically attack her but that I was mentally stronger than her mentally stronger than she will ever be and she is not worth losing my son over. I have audio of her literally physically attacking me with my child in my arms and I still to this day wish I would have press charges but given that I was living in the house with her her husband and her child which is my partner I was in a fucked up situation. And I still am. So I completely understand the whole provoking you to try to get you to do something stupid she wants to make it seem like it’s you and not her.

      I did this throughout my own childhood. It's a dangerous strategy in that case. B/c it became a funny game to insult me way more than my more aggressive sister (b/c she was easy. He only wanted that drama every so often). I did all of this to protect my mother from drama and pain. Even though she was a happy flying monkey that ALLWAYS gasslit to protect herself. She got the heat previously before the kids, and she was too comfortable being left more alone. It's not a great strategy, if you want to end up with self-love and confidence as an adult, let me say.

I have just acknowledged that he is narcissist and found the truth of getting rid of him. I was always guilting that because of me maybe we are not together till I found the truth of his personality and I confronted and exposed him, I decided to not entertain his verbal abuse and random calls, I frustrated him to an extend that he decided to call it off because I was not giving in and not getting manipulated.

    I did this with my brother last night, when he showed up unannounced to my apartment because I was not responding to him. I don't know exactly what I said, but I remember telling him that he spends way too much time concerning himself with my life. That he should instead realize he is just as flawed, he should look into his own mental health issues not mine. That if he wants to have a relationship with his sister then we can both go to family counseling, as my therapist recommended. I came back to the living room and he had high tailed it out of here. I will continue to hold him accountable. No counseling no relationship.

    Often I’ve found that asking the narcissist questions works miraculously. “What do you mean by that?” Or “Are you ok? You seem upset.” All the while, you remain calm and un-triggered. Being disinterested in what they are doing or have done is great. If you care about them, you won’t engage in their games.

      They cannot answer direct questions like that. It’s almost comical.

I noticed the pattern so when he did again I said why is that when I said xyz you hung up on me? He tried to lie and say his phone did it accidentally blah blah. So I said no you asked me xyz and I said xyz and after that you hung up, why did you hang up? He would not answer the question he just got silent. I said noted, that will be the last time you hang up in my ear because you are blocked and I blocked him. He tried to reach me through email, and I would not respond. Tried to reach me through my sisters and they would respond “blocked” and block him. Eventually he left me alone.

    I had to swoop in and save my daughter from a narcissist. I'm an empath, 1st thing I told the guy, (you're the lucky one in this relationship, not her). After he pushed her into a psych hospital, abdandoned the apartment, & stole her dog. I thank God I was raised by a premo narcissist. It prepped me to save my 25yr old, who wasn't raised to develop these skills.
    My advice, let the narc know you know what they're doing. If they try to isolate their prey (like he tried) there's at least a knowledge of you know what they're up to.

    The blank stare and silence with slightly raised eyebrows works well. It says I'm not buying any of your BS.
    When it escalated, I just had to put it plainly. "What I am doing, is not about you any more, it's about me. It's in my timeframe, my scope and my boundaries".
    I'm loving the freedom of living on my own. Now, as an empath I am helping my healing by trying to help at least one person every day. It makes me feel good and helps them.
    You wouldn't believe how I got berated by her for pulling over to make sure everyone in a car accident was OK. I still do not understand that level of a lack of empathy.
    Oh and I showed her pictures and achievements of my new girlfriend (well, not quite, but on track), who is everything that she isn't and tried to be. (not enough to identify her). That must have burned!
    If the ex hadn't treated me like dirt and used up all of my resources, and maybe came along to one or two of my friends activities, it might be different. If she wasn't too busy sleeping in on Christmas mornings to get up and watch our daughter opening presents (which I had to buy) it would be different. If I didn't have to buy all of my own birthday presents ... etc. etc. Now she's crying that I'm gone (my decision). Bad luck baby. I'm just sorry it took 17+ years of my life and a sexless relationship for at least 8 years (never married).
    The only time I've shed a tear, is for the care and love that my friends have shown throughout. Words like, "You have a friend for life", "We've got your back buddy" and much much more. I am privileged with such amazing friends to get me through a trying time.
