Why can someone who treated you terribly still be so hard to get over?
You know they lied. You remember the manipulation, the gaslighting, and all the ways they made you question yourself. And yet, even after you leave, you can still find yourself replaying what happened, searching for answers, or wondering whether somehow you were the problem.
That’s because getting a narcissist out of your life and getting free from their effects are two very different things.
In this week’s video, I break down three of the biggest traps that can keep us emotionally tied to a narcissist long after the relationship ends, and what it actually takes to start getting your life back.
Hello Matthew,
I’ve got a question about this topic.
What if there are kids, and you’ve got to deal with the narcissistic ex-partner in order to make the shared custody happen?
Hi M! Spot-on video for me! Thank you for giving some form of closure (although not the closure I’ve been craving for)! But I understand better that it’s not worth the energy and that its just unfortunate! I was amazed by your insight – well done! May you be blessed!
Excellent video and message, Matthew. I needed to hear it. Thank you, Lori
