The trauma that comes with abuse isn’t easy to deal with.
For those involved in a situation that involves mental and psychological abuse, the damage is invisible. The scars may be invisible, but they’re still present.
One of the biggest challenges I’ve faced with the situation involving the narcissist is trying to explain the brain fog that developed after he went full tilt with his abuse. He knew what he was doing and the effect it would have but he didn’t care.
For those on the outside, it’s easy to say ‘Just leave’. But by the time I realized the gravity of the situation, the window already closed. The grip was firm and it’s hard to shake free from it. I had gone into survival mode. Unless you’re in the situation, it’s extremely difficult to explain.
To find a way out of the brain fog put in place by the narcissist, I need a support system. Individuals who can help me get out, find a safe haven and begin the healing process. Unfortunately, I don’t have that much needed support system that can help get me out.
Attempts will still be made to leave. My voice will still make attempts to be heard. One way or another, we will get out. Karma is still watching. Waiting.
