How does narcissistic abuse feel?
Narcissistic abuse is the term for what you are experiencing. You didn’t know there was a name for the constant, intentional, cruelty you’ve been receiving from this person.
At first, I was confused. I didn’t understand what was happening or why he was twisting his words. Then I felt shame. Shame that this was who my father really was. People in our community revered and admired him. I felt completely alone.
Then I began to struggle with self-doubt. I questioned my perceptions and my reality. This just made me feel more insecure. I had constant anxiety about any upcoming encounter with my narcissist. I knew I couldn’t depend on him. I knew he didn’t tell me the truth. So, I had no idea how he would show up or what he would say or do. This anxiety put me in a state of hypervigilance – always ready for fight or flight.
Then I began to get angry. Angry for the cards I’d been dealt. Angry that I’d lost my mother and been left with a father who only loved me when I did what he wanted. Everything was transactional with him. This anger turned to sadness. I finally realized I needed to grieve the loss of my father as he wasn’t the person I thought he was.
Take this as a sign. You're a force, not to be diminished. Find the strength within to move forward.
