Today, every emotion imaginable has been experienced. I have gone from wanting to break, throw, and kick things, to scream, cuss and fight with someone to remembering the joy of being free and full of the grace of God. You hear someone say just get over it and you suddently realize that no one care's to understand your plight. This cross is yours to bear alone. I am sharing this so that the general public is aware of what a person goes through mentally and spiritually during this traumatic experience.
How should it feel to be lead to love someone based on the lie they portrayed? All the dreams, hopes and aspirations are laid to waste because the truth was hidden. Do you care enough to reach out and listen to the stories of these victims. Why does this type of abuse end in a higher suicide rate than any other relationships? Are you supportive to the friend who has experienced this and what type of support would they need?
Imagine that you are in a relationship for just six months that has been going great. You love the same things, have similar goals and you start making plans for your future. All of a sudden the person you thought loved you, turns on you, looking for every excuse in the book to not be with you anymore. They twist everything that you have said into half truths making the significant other feel crazy, which is called gaslighting. You find out that they have been talking bad about you the whole time to family and friends behind your back. They have kept you away from your support system so you have no one to turn to. In the aftermath they taunt you with the hopes of a reconciliation and a return to normalcy. And God forbid that actual physical violence has occurred. This is exactly what a narcissistic personality type does.
Wake up and help your brothers and sisters live Victoriously. Encourage them, contact them and listen to their stories. Please care enough to learn about this type of abuse.
We will be victors and not victims!
