    Could never talk … he always turned everything into an argument. I became afraid inside the torment and emotionally numb… lost myself. After 25 years I LEFT with my children and thank you LORD for the courage and protection He gave me ❤️🙏🏻🌅👣🕊️

    After getting divorced I noticed I kept forgetting to take my anxiety medication I was in 30mg too. So I stopped taking it and no longer need it!!

    I was driven to depression and suicidal ideation by him multiple times. And what did he do then? Call my parents and stage a grand intervention. Look who’s the loving, caring, hero husband all of a sudden! He would take me to the doctor and tell them how much he loved me. He didn’t let me talk to them alone though, and I was too confused and hopeless to insist he leave the room. Plus I was afraid that would make me look more crazy.
    My parents have sided with him and tell everyone I have serious mental illness problems. They helped convince my kids of this.
    Evil. Evil. EVIL.

    He would talk over me constantly. Started stupid fights on purpose. Called me names, berated me, showed utter contempt for me. Competed for my son's attention. Jealous of my relationship with them. Isolated me from all my support and had me trapped alone with him. He utterly destroyed our finances, lost 2 jobs and a business that took our life savings. At the end I was in complete despair. He loved seeing me sick and weak. The last time I saw him, he went into a rage over nothing and when I told him to leave he lunged at me and pushed me down. That was the moment of clarity. I went to the police, he went to jail. I left and have not looked back. God is healing all of the things he broke in and around me. Dr Clarke, you are a huge part of that healing. Thank you. God bless you. 🙌

    I had to praise the Lord and thank him for blocking a child from being created within my 3 year marriage to a narc. He was protecting me from a lifetime of stress & strife; and I am so grateful for that.

    I have tried to end it all twice since being in this relationship. This last time, my husband witnessed it happen and proceeded to tell me,"you dont deserve your kids. Get out of here. You dont deserve to live.". I was very upset i was still living. I just wanted it all to be over. The next day i was listening to christian radio. A message said,"I decide when you breathe your last breathe."
    I know God sees all. Yet i feel so alone.

    Boy, Dr. Clarke, you nailed everything my narc has put me through! I'm looking forward to being free from him. Starting the legal process on Tuesday! I struggle with confidence, but am determined to get through this and starting a new PEACEFUL life! Thank you for all your books and videos, they have helped me to finally kick myself in the rear and do something about being treated badly for so many years.

    Thank you God that after 2 yrs of contested conservatorship on my handicapped daughter, I got the conservatorship. I got the legal title to the job I've done her whole life. Again, there was a heavy financial hit to me for the attorneys, but she is worth it.

    Most of what you say is me! I got away after 25 years, and have worked 25 years at finding me! You have mentioned more symptoms than anyone else has. My hope is that more women get away sooner than I did, and mend quicker. The little family I had dreams of flourishing (for now) seems lost. But my
    hope and continuing faith is in God in Jesus’ name.

    It took a long time….don’t fool yourself! However, you will see reality and you will be physically and emotionally better. Pray, work out and be quiet with your self. God is working on you quietly. Be open and accepting. Little by little the worm becomes a butterfly!

    Try living with a narcissist when you're a high functioning autistic mom.. It's been quite a road. I left 6 years ago after being married 23 years. He is still controlling our Adult daughter.

    Silent treatment for 18 months, then he raged when my lawyer called him in Feb 2020. Then covid😖
    My daughters have discarded me.

    My narc ex would tell me not to look out the car window when we stopped at a red light, he would make me walk in front of him in Walmart so he could “see who I was looking at”. I couldn’t even visit my kids and grandkids because he wanted me right under his eye. It was awful.

  • @scottgruchow
    @scottgruchow 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    So, obviously it is more common for the man to be the narc. In my case everything he’s describing is being done to me by my wife. I just wish every once in awhile he would point that out. Even my daughter who she has, as I now have figured out, manipulated her for years and my daughter treats me just as he described because she is presenting herself as the victim. Tried to explain that to my daughter, didn’t go over to well.😢

    Dr. Clarke- bless you, your wisdom and your words of TRUTH. First time on your channel. Definitely a new subscriber. How I wish (that) I had access to this soul saving information YEARS ago- before I was totally blindsided by my narc x husband. His mission was the "total destruction" of my body, soul and spirit. If it were not for my faith in The Almighty- he may have succeeded. I appreciate your style and the compassion expressed in your information and instruction...

    My narcissistic ex has been living with our oldest daughter who also has narcissistic traits. Our youngest son as well as me have observed the very unhealthy enmeshment. Is this common?
    They have always been like 2 peas in a pod.

    God showed me that they are being attacked by demons. The demons hate you. Change the word Narcissists to Demons it will be easier so understand them, what’s happening to you, so you can begin the healing. Turn to God he will help you

    Clarke Plan
    1. Pay me for a "phone session" and I will summarily diagnose your husband as a narcissist and abuser.
    2. I then give you my permission, AND GOD'S PERMISSION, to leave and divorce him. (Remember, I stand for marriage!)
    3. Keep paying me for phone advise and buying all my books well into the foreseeable future.
    There is no need to any input from him or anyone else. I am the expert and I know everything!
