Bolanle Ninalowo has shared some advice for those who might be dealing with the same marital challenges he has experienced.
Understanding the ABUSIVE process:
A narcissist doesnt strip your identity overnight. They subtly chip away more and more until every thought you have, word you speak, and action you take is worship and tribute to them.
This is when the denial starts.
You tell yourself they’re just a tortured soul that they just need someone to support them and show them compassion. They have horrible stories about past abuse and toxic family members.
So you invest your time, energy, and entire self into the narcissist but its not enough. Its never enough and there is no limit to how long this can last. May be months, years or in most cases even decades!
You reevaluate everything you thought you knew about yourself.
By the time youre on the outside looking in, you’ll see every pebble that slowly created a landslide and wonder how on earth you didnt notice it happening.
This gradual process makes healing your self-image such a difficult challenge.
But you can heal & thrive!
You are not alone 😊

Namaste 🙏🏾

Always complaining of your reaction but they brought the action that sprung your reaction. Always reporting you to people but they’re the problem. I don see something at this my tender age 😭😭😭even in my pregnancy I will totally abandoned 😭I would pay my husband on Saturdays to help me with chores. Silent treatment 💯 over💯I thank God at 32 years I found courage to walk away😢

Patsyudenyi wrote: Being with a narcissist is more like a rat biting you and still blowing you. It’s a form of manipulation. They are passive-aggressive and the funny part is, they are good to outsiders. So when you begin to tell your story, no one believes you. They are good at masking their true selves to strangers.

Xtabe Wrote: I understand some of them are not aware of their situation while some are deliberately doing it since they know it’s always a win for them. My question now is having found yourself around one of them( especially when he/she can sometimes be fun to be with) how can we help them or must we leave them with their problem to deal with? Please this is an honest question 🙏🏼
