    My ex-husbands favorite threat was to kick me out of the house. A house that my paternal grandparents built, then my parents owned through my childhood & lastly they sold it to my ex & I. Because my name wasn't on the actual mortgage loan, it was only listed within the documents, he constantly used that against me. He also claimed he'd get the kids & I would be left with nothing. While finally going through with the divorce, he planned on fighting me tooth & nail for the house. I just wanted the divorce & to be free. And by that point that house held no positive memories for me regardless of the attachment to my grandparents. It became a box.... just a black hole. He got the house but I'm the one that ended up truly blessed....I have my children & I'm free!

      My life exactly. It’s so crazy how their are so many stories that I read that are exactly like mine. I also got a divorce but went back because of my 17 years old daughter who I also got full custody of in court but I couldn’t find a place to live so I went back. She is still blind to it all. She is daddy’s little girl. We were married for 20 years. And leaving was even harder especially since I’ve never been away from my kids. We also have a 20 year old son. He does not like his dad. I have no support system or family really for that matter. 18 years in I finally figured out what was going on. I can remember just being in gut wrenching agony wondering what I did that was so horrible that my husband hated me? But also in figureing out who my ex husband was I also realized who my mother was. She hated me also. She would tell me that if she had never gotten pregnant with me she wouldn’t have had to marry my dad. My dad was an enabler. They were both emotionally unavailable. My own family thinks I’m lying and exaggerating what I went through. My own sister. This makes me so sad!

      This is exactly what I go through. I’m on the title but he said my credit wasn’t good enough to be on the loan. I’m so afraid to divorce him!

    • @debwtruthteller6066
      @debwtruthteller6066 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@joancrawford1146 they want you to be afraid. They'll threaten with anything to keep you exactly where they want you, oppressed. Regardless if you're name is on the loan. They have to provide equal compensation. DO NOT let this person keep you stuck!! They will never change! Please save yourself. Money isn't everything. Trust me. Your inner peace is worth so much more. Do not believe the lies. I'm not sure where you're from. But I couldn't even afford to file for divorce & as a result I waited longer. When I finally went to court I found out I qualified financially to file for free. Regardless of whatever material items you may or may not lose or even your financial situation, I promise you, your growth, your inner peace & your FREEDOM is worth so much more. Take your power back!!!! I realized my entire family is full of narcissists, which is why I kept repeating that same pattern of attracting them. No more!!! I cut my entire family out with the exception of my two younger children. It has not been easy. But I have never, ever been stronger!! I will never be oppressed ever again! I broke that generational curse! You owe it to yourself to be free! At the very least look into the process, go to the courthouse & get information. Talk to a lawyer. And get some counseling, I promise that will help too. I wish you the best of luck! And I pray that you break free. Love & light to you ❤🙏

      Deb my experience to as the property was in my family since the 30's and my parents built the home and I was born in and inherit to marry the Jezebel with my children being born there also and she got the Courts to sell it at any price she set. The Courts removed my name from the title and yet kept my name on the mortgage. So I ended up homeless and all my belongings had to be liquidated. I had four generations of property in the family home to be destroyed. The children are stuck with the Jezebel and I'm free from the pure sin.

    They lack empathy so they don't care how their actions effect someone else. Aa long as they are getting what they want that's all that matters to them. And controlling others is their specialty that's how they get their narcissistic supply sense of importance and value. And absolutely, this should be punishable by the loss of their freedom as it is a crime.

      Yes. Like refusing to fix the muffler on his wife's car and then keeping it running for a half hour every work day morning which was sure to wake up everyone in the 16 floor high rise building too so he didn't feel quite as sorry for himself when having to get up that early in the morning at 6 am.

      I've noticed they don't care because they hide,especially the flying monkeys, there isn't any accountability, they bond over the torment of their target, everyone involved will only do things that are very deniable,they will not ever admit to what they are doing to someone, and find it funny to do this,the pain of others satisfying to the evil ones.

      What a coincidence. When I lived in a 16 floor high rise building a man used to do the same thing for his wife. One day while only he and I were both walking down the fire escape stairs since the elevator wasn't working again he invited me to spend time with him in the car to keep warm while it was always needing to be taking a whole half hour according to him before being fully warmed up while without a muffler on it too before he could finally after walking everybody up in the building be driving his wife to work and when he did it was obvious it would not be to drive me to work too however if I ever reported it then of course he would have pretended to them how ungrateful and lazy I was for insinuating that him such an upstanding maybe Italian or Spanish Canadian citizen was at the time being anything except friendly and helpful to me too,

    My mom did this.She poisoned us against her father (who I had been close with as a child)because he didnt give in to her and it enraged her.I Got close to him again when I became an adult and luckily got to spend alot,of time with him the last few years of his,life.She hated that.Always telling me what a liar and pice,of garbage he was.I didnt care what she said and I was right there with him when he died in 2011.Glad I grew up and stopped caring what she said.About 2 yrs. ago I went no-contact and it surely makes things alot more peaceful.Now I know the name for what she was doing.

    My covert narcissistic soon-to-be ex husband used to watch my comings & goings on the home security camera! After seeing me leave the house, he'd call my cell and ask where I was going. When I voiced my dislike of this behavior, and told him it was creepy, of course he said he was kidding around. Yet he continued to do it! He controlled our money and just about every other aspect of my life in one way or another. Glad I'm out of that relationship! Regret staying longer than I should've.

    Hi Jill, I love your videos. Very helpful. I was the SG in my family, however, just clued in about 2 years ago. Mother has turned siblings, rest of family and friends against me with decades long smear campaign. I just didn't realize what was going on. She had me brainwashed into believing I was a horrible person. I now know that this was simply the bad parts of her narc self projected onto me. She tried very hard to destroy my life. She wasn't successful. I'm struggling with getting over a 1/2 century of brainwashing. Would you be able to do a video on that? Thank You.

The smear campaign was on going but now at its peak ... apparently we are the villains and she is the victim... but we still continue NO contact... we are strong and happier then ever .

      You know that saying about how to finish eating an elephant? 🐘 One bite at a time.
      That’s how you undo the brainwashing. One lie at a time. I liken it to defragging the computer. Do you remember Windows 98, w/ those colorful rectangular tiles? As the computer would work through the hard drive, methodically restoring order, it’d be really active working through the different colors, each of which represented a different function.
      Whether on your own, or w/ some help, you have to dispel/refute one lie after another. If you journal, this is where you can SPILL EVERYTHING, incl. telling your mom everything you need to say to her for your own closure. You know that she won’t allow any closure, on her end, but this exercise is solely for YOU to be able to experience emotional freedom.
      Talking out loud to yourself and having the conversations you wish you could have, are also cathartic, and result in mental clarity and again, emotional freedom.
      Be loving & patient w/ yourself throughout this process. It’s a marathon, so learn to pace yourself. You will emerge from this a new person, and it’s never too late, as long as you’re still here. 🙏✨💕
      Wishing you all the best.

    My dad used it to completely control my mother for half a century, all of her married life 16 to 66. She had to ask "do you love me" and in front of all 4 of his children he would tell her no. He used every single tactic you mentioned to control her and all of us, later in her life he put an extremely short cord on the phone so she had no privacy whatsoever. When she was ill and needed thyroid medication and blood pressure medicine he refused to buy it for her, I did. He made her walk up stairs to the doctor office, next to the elevator. Monitored and ridiculed her for food consumption. He killed her by proxy.

    The way forward (and has worked for so many) is to empower people with what Narcissism looks like and allow people to make their own boundaries. By empowerment comes freedom to walk away and leave the narcs to the hollow life they live. By truth (not law), comes freedom.

    I worked full time for benefits, decent pay, not great. Tried to take classes paid for by the company. He created such strife, I couldn't think to learn anything. He hated that my mother watched our child for free. Wanted child to go to daycare. I would have had to use my entire earnings for that. Plus most of my work schedule was not even during daycare hours of operation. I think that was initiated by some of his family. Even though he didn't want my mother keeping our child, he never offered to until said child was big enough to influence. He never changed a diaper or kept an infant. Most nights I was home, he wasn't. I felt so physically drained, I would force myself to do aerobics to videos. That really always made me feel stronger.
    One day when I was off work, he put our toddler size child in his truck with no seatbelt. Child stood on the bench seat. (I could see child standing there the whole time.) I thought he meant for us all to go for a ride. I don’t remember exactly. It was years ago, but I think I was getting the car seat out of my car to put in the truck. He drove off, with child happily standing beside him on bench seat. I followed. He literally drove 70 mph on a gravel road in order to lose me. Child still standing on bench seat.
    THAT is why I never left. Because of local attitudes, family connections, back then, I would not have won custody. Staying was the only way I could remain in a place in the child's life. There's so much more that happened than I have space for here.
    He straightened up enough to have another much later.
    We had a second and I stayed home. He was against that and started saying 6 weeks into c-section re-coup, that I needed to find a job.
    I would collect left over change from his pockets to keep an emergency stash for toilet paper and gas. He paid the utilities but made sure I had no way of doing anything at all with the second. Let alone the first, then a middle schooler. Everyone said how he was an awsome dad and person in the community.
    One day I took about $40 in the laundry change to a little nearby store. I got gas, & was going to go buy some other necessities from an actual store (you can deduct this has been years ago).
    Apparently, the worker at the little store mentioned it to him. (It was a little local store where they knew him) I don't remember what he said to me but he mentiined something derogatory to me for taking his change. (Meanwhile he took out big loans)
    I never again found even a penny in any pockets while doing laundry.
    None of that stuff could have been proven in a court of law. In fact, I'm sure it all would have been turned on to me.
    Pretty sure it was gossiped about in the community.
    I was commended at the job I had, repeatedly. I was offered promotions that I didn’t take in order to attempt preserving family time. He turned that into pick fights time.
    Every character attribute I was commended for at work, he accused me of the opposite and found flaw for.
    Pretty sure the family and community also did the same.

    I greatly appreciate your relative, riveting message. I believe why you do not see this taught in schools and enforced in law enforcement Is because Christians are slow on the uptake. They choose not to respond properly fearing over reaction. Therefore , their under reaction is anemic and insipid . Oh that they would come up to speed in this regard and it would effect education and law enforcement. This should be taught in every Church that is authentic.
    I have tried for decades and I know there is a hunger to know more but it gets greatly attacked and impugned.
    There is a greater hunger for this teaching than I have ever seen previously.

    My MIL accused me of financial abuse because I earned all the money and my H didn’t work. I now realize that my H was really being abusive. He stayed home with our kids because he didn’t have a career. When they went to school he had trouble holding down a job. When he finally held one down, he kept his money in a separate account. I was paying all the bills and taking on debt at times too. Yet I was accused of financial abuse when I separated our money. He had full access to my entire paycheck that supported our household and I had limited access to his money that he used for whatever he wanted. I’m glad that you mentioned the other side of financial abuse because I find that people just focus on the first one. In my situation it was the opposite.

    When I was a teenager, mother sat with me in the living room and she was having an argument with father, who happened to be in the kitchen cooking for us, I remember this vividly, she thought it would be funny to give my father the finger behind his back in front of me and encourage me to do the same, I’m glad I didn’t, but now I’ve come to grips with what was really going on

    This can also happen in a sibling relationship, whereas, one sibling may coerce the other sibling to commit an act they would not normally do on their own. In addition, the NARC sibling knows that the act will have consequences down the road and was designed to gain control over the innocent sibling, and set them up. In my case, it was done to pin others against me, and was probably done out of jealousy.
    Personally, I have had money used as a weapon in my life, to exacerbate the victimization further ! I have been struggling and victimized in one facet or another for decades ! The whole situation is clinically insane and what happened to my infant daughter and myself is CRIMINAL !
    I am glad that the UK recognizes that it is an offense, and there must be consequences ! The problem in the US is that some forms of psychological/financial abuse is not recognized as criminal, even though it can be deadly in certain circumstances.
    Coercive control can happen in romantic relationships, families, employment situations, and other interpersonal situations/relationships.

    Can we make requests? I have several members of my family that I would call the "Nice Narcissist." How I would describe them is extremely pleasant to be around, never exhibit rage, irritation, put downs or negative emotions. Yet they are very slyly exploitative. One of them gets his wife to do literally everything- take care of the kids, bring home the bacon, help with the homework. He does just enough to give himself plausible deniability that he's contributing, but he's really a moocher. The other is a sibling who gets people to bend over backwards with the most ridiculous requests, all with a happy face and an "I just love my family and want to spend time with them" attitude. The Nice narcissist- I would like to understand more about this dynamic.

The narcissists in my life more typically fit into the Hero category. They like to be seen as compassionate, positive, caring, etc. But it's all an act to make themselves look good. Behind the facade is a lot of passive aggression, but they rarely take on the Victim status unless it works to their advantage.

    parental alienation is the crisis the century and its getting worse as courts seem to encourage it.
    the adversarial situation in court is not designed to deal with divorce and kids.
    the courts force kids to become commodities and once that happens, it never changes.
    my sons relationship with me simply brings pain to his life, so now we have no relations. he is 22 and completely stuck in his teenage life with his mommy. nobody can break through.
    like so many angry people, she has her permanent fan club in my son. just sux on every level. for him.
    i’ve seen this in other families too. and its the most destructive thing that nobody seems to do anything about.
    whats stunning about alienation and coercive control is that after a while the child fills in fake information almost automatically. like autopilot for the abused. my ex’s abuse of my son is the crime of the century. and removing me from his life is cruel. and unencumbered by my ex’s relatives and others.

    I don't think the courts are capable of determining who the real abusers are. A narcissist can push you to all your limits, and then video you when you finally blow up, and start crying right after they just said the most awful, demeaning things possible.
    Also, children now days, need to have their internet activities monitored, and sometimes you need to ground them from their phone or car, etc, because they need some discipline. They consider that abuse. If you can't do things like that, then they will run wild and mess up their future.
    Narcissists are such good liars, that if the courts get involved, a bunch of nice people will have their lives destroyed.

    Babe, I know you want the trucks and cars back in your name. I know you bought them. But clearly you don't love or trust me to help you. You can't make good decisions. Ur forgetful n if I don't hold the titles, you will make a mistake w bills and then we'll lose the vehicles.
    A lot is subtle even though it feels just as horrible n a loss of ur choice n autonomy.
    This is how I lost everything.

    Excellent video! Sometimes the isolation is done by 'allowing' and demanding that you spend 'lots of time' with your relatives to learn with who are not students there while doing assignments instead of with spending time with other students only when your relatives are supposed to be at work just so they can get together to laugh over the efforts those students are making. Often coersive control includes trickle down invisible chains from the top people in bondage depending most on it all the way down to the bottom of the pyramid hierarchy in their mother's womb when being isolated from the womb of mothers after coping with gaslighting not good enough then recommending and pushing their mothers into consuming poisonous to you substances including so called 'always' recreational drugs, 'birth' control pills, cruel things recommended for to be inserted into the womb, etc. The Statue of Liberty has a law written in stone against that last stop in the chain of coersive control. [The Statue of Liberty was a gift from France to NEw York] You would think that all Americans are thankful to the people of France too for that gift however some instead for example see the right of French parents there to refuse the promotion of only gender neutral pronouns being used in class when that would be so impractical that no elementary school child could learn after being born to Francophone parents.

I’m talking to an expert now because I watch his videos and I hear so much stuff that doesn’t add up it’s not even true and a lot of people do not have extreme extensive research and understanding personal and academically in these manners yes so many people have this TH-cam channel nothing against you it just seems like that’s not discussed enough how it’s like brainwashing and it’s not obvious and it seems like a lot of people focus on overt narcissism. My point is it Is not easy to see these people when In a relationship with them and usually by the time you’re in love with him or have children with them that’s when things go crazy but you’re not for sure exactly what it is.
