      I literally thought it was my fault for years😢 So I really stepped up my game. He said I was bad at communication, so I became good at that (Charisma on Command). He said I was to hormonal or irrational. So I became very rational and highly analytical. He said that I was sexually unattractive because I was fat. So I lost weight. In the end he started accusing me of blaming him because I confronted him that he could be a narcissist. But yet I'm practicing Jocko's self ownership and am also really trying to live like the book of James on the bible.
      He bragged that he's never changed and was consistent our entire relationship.
      Well, all my efforts to be a good and healthy spouse and person ended showing me that I wasn't in a healthy relationship. At the end of the relationship, I tried to talk with him about this but he refuses to listen. So it is what it is.
      I'm healthy now atleast. Feel bad for him though. He only trusts himself.:/

      Evil comes from whence it was born.
      When we act evil we do so out of flesh stuff.. sometimes God puts a narcissistic person in the life of a Saint to show that Saint what evil is up close, otherwise most of us would choose to live happy n peaceful lives away from discord, strife, etc.
      We are here to learn that the flesh body is a vessel and the spiritual controls this flesh in ways we cannot see.
      narcissistic types are all about how their flesh body feels.
      GOD gives emotion outside of feelings such as love, forgiveness, hope, truth. satan can only give emotion through hurt, pain, turmoil and such things.
      A person can only mimic God or mimic satan. A human being will act like one or the other. I have noticed that a narcissist type will outwardly try to appear godly while inwardly they have no peace. A Saint will inwardly have peace but often live in tumultuous situations.
      life is a process. an individual process of salvation through trial.

    The sweetest Christian learnings from dealing with narcissists are the ultimate wisdom of: NO RETALIATION, NO REVENGE, holding fast to what is true, politely and firmly standing up for what is right (righteousness) and focussing on pleasing God, over man.

    30 yrs married to maybe worse than a narcissist, possibly a psychopath. Years of banging my head in to the wall trying to figure out how to fix things, I learned a lot of your topics discussed on my own. Of course when I started to discover I had been living a lie with a person that didn’t exist because his reality wasn’t reality, he walked out stating, it was all
    My fault. I went thru a horrendous divorce, where he tried to turn every one I loved against me, I lost virtually everything while he successfully played the victim but 3 yrs post him exiting my life I found this was the greatest gift that truly was a blessing form my Lord because now I’m not having the life sucked out of me and I can be a light and witness for the greatness of my savior Jesus Christ.

      Oh my goodness, I could have written your post!! My marriage lasted 20 years, not 30, but almost identical. He went to every one of my family members, one by one (and I have a huge family), dressed in wrinkled shirts and slacks with a hang-dog, poor me countenance, and told them he wanted to make the marriage work but I refused to go to counseling with him and was divorcing him, despite the fact that he'd been having an affair for two years with the woman he married a month after the divorce was final. But this was all 31 years ago, and sad to admit, it took me many years to "untether" myself from his manipulation and control. Back then, there wasn't much help available, thankfully we've become much more wise to these sorts of scoundrels. God bless you Vicki!

Jesuschrist truly is the only way. The verse you quoted where Jesus asked the apostles, "do you also want to leave? and Peter responded ,"where can we go, master, only you have words of life.". Those are the most powerful words I've ever heard in my life. God bless and continue using you for His glory.". You truly have the gift of word of knowledge. I get chills all over just quoting that verse to myself. Thank you

      Here here…I’m almost 59. My mother was chronic alcoholic. I don’t know if she was narcissistic, but most def, self absorbed, self only focused, vain, negative gossiped about everyone else-Constantly. She plotted her 4daughters against each other. I’d distanced myself from her for over a year, then she became terminally ill and my sisters smeared me for what THEY said I’d abandoned mom; so when mom did nothing to reach out to me, to love me…I LOVED HER. I visited her in the hospital then was there 24/7 for twelve days of hospice. It was so depressing. I felt the persecution. One of my sisters, one yr younger than me is a “disciple of Christ”, her words> “ I’m a real Christian, and YOU are not, so I will baptize mom, and I will call upon the Holy Spirit”. Well,,,,hmmm I consider myself a truly devoted follower of Christ for over 40years.. my sister is in a cult😢…so I stuck thru hospice, nonstop praying for and with my mom. She did confess her sin, and finally admitted it’s been her selfish ways her entire life, that Jesus died for……w/all that said…I’ve got my 40years anniversary coming up next November….all because my mother abandoned me @16yrs old, I met my husband(@18). My rejection and abandonment by her actually protected me. Thank you Lord, you are so good!!!!

    After 50 years of marriage, I now realize how toxic it is , has always been. I praise God for the internet and sharing of facts like this, chanels of ordinary people sharing their story, of brave ppl who have left the toxicity behind and started afresh life. I knew something wasn't right , so, being proactive tried to fix me. That just made it worse. I have come to the place of cautious acceptance, hubs has to have his own way all the time. I'm 68 now , I know God directs my path. But I want out, I'm worth more than this.I'm no ones servant or slave. But like Queen Esther, I was born for such a time as this. Like her I am scared , my prayer is and has always been, Lord give me courage, make me strong. He will , and the word says, He will never leave me or forsake me, in Him I can put my trust. God bless you all xx ❤

    This is a MASTERCLASS education, and from a Biblical perspective!! God is using you in a mighty way to educate His people!! I was taking notes all the way!! This needs be taught to young women, and men as a school subject of how to navigate the social relationships with believers and non-believers. And you give excellent practical advice on what they can do. Its unfortunate that there are alot of Christians or people who call themselves Christians amd are narcissists at the same time. A total contradiction. And alot of times you don’t realize this until you've gotten to know them, and you realize their patterns and become trapped in their toxic patterns. You excellently provide practical ways to overcome that!!

I still struggle sometimes with different aspects but thank Jesus I'm definitely not trapped in that unhealthy cycle anymore. 27 yrs was way to long to stay married to my emotional, verbal & mental abuser. It damaged my now adult children in completely different ways. One son is so sensitive to when he's behaving like his dad that he immediately tells his wife he's sorry & they talk things out. The other son engages in a level of narcissism & he doesn't even see it. He was the golden child, though. My daughter struggles with that type of behavior. I just pray for them all. Both the oldest & youngest (daughter) are in fairly regular therapy. Thanks for shedding light on all of this & offering tools to manage/conquer the end results of this.

    Thank you so much for this lesson. You made me realize that I've been operating out of fear of him flying into a rage if I stand up for myself and that I wasn't trusting God to protect me. I have been afraid to say what I think if it's in opposition to what he is saying. That's going to change. Thank you.

I chose to love the sinner but hate the sin, when one has to please others to be accepted is never worth it, God has already accepted me and He is enough!!! I only please one my Lord❤ great video!!

    Kris, you have helped me to set boundaries with my son’s girlfriend who lives with us.
    I learned through your videos that she is a covert narcissist/ gas lighter. It’s been going on for 3 years and I kept quiet for 2 years until I could stand it no more and told my son.
    She has 2 faces - sweet to him but covertly controlling around me. A real power struggle in the home. She would move things around in the kitchen, I had to search for things I’d bought - food, canisters etc
    Then some new things were damaged and when I asked what happened there was denial and anger from her. I found myself always apologising and reluctant to say anything because I became “ the bad guy”
    in her eyes. Walking on egg shells all the time.
    Long story short we had a blow up 3 weeks ago & my son asked her to find a place of her own which is happening this week.
    I have searched my heart before God and have tried many times to get on with her but to no avail.
    Now that she is leaving, it feels like a stronghold has been broken….

It is very difficult, but normal people know who you are. Narcs only go after people they can't control. They're stupid and just plain evil.

    He was doing something that was really hurting me emotionally. He would say to me, "I understand, I do, I really do." he would stop the behavior if I was lucky for a few weeks or it would just be a few days or even a few hours. I finally smartened up and realized him saying he "understands" wasn't the same in my vocabulary. When I said I understood something, that I was hurting someone, I would stop that behavior. I said to him, "you say you understand, but you aren't going to stop what you are doing though are you?" and he replied, "Ummm, no." That started my wake up call. I was so hopeful I could get through to him. But no.

My own home own life, own circle of friends, I'm not codependent, etc.) It took yeeaaars! And I'm sooo glad I did. Change did happen. The light came on for this person. We have such a sweet relationship. Our years ahead are better each day. Not perfect. But who is? Until now, I've only seen/heard "no contact". How sad. The loss.😢 even my children benefit from my sticking it out. No contact is like they died. And yes, it can be done!!! I hope this helps someone.
