@healingwithemilyg: Healing from a discard is so complicated bc it feels like you were abused and then abandoned for reacting to that abuse. Your trauma is just as valid if you couldn’t leave. #narcissisticrelationship #narcissisticabuse #abuserecovery #narcissisticabuse #psychologicalabuse
I begged my abuser to stay. I was so conditioned into thinking the abuse was love that it nearly killed me when he left. Looking back I’m so lucky that he didn’t want me anymore and I was able to have a clean break

Being discarded for someone else like I was nothing after 2.5 years of abuse almost sent me to a psych ward for real

They also use it as a way to control you throughout the relationship. So you never know when they’re serious and when they’re just manipulating you to weaken you.

The victim stays for trash and the abuser leaves the prize, but them leaving you makes it feel like the opposite. They program us to feel that way about ourselves and it takes so much work to rebuild our self-worth.

I LITERALLY had a THERAPIST SAY “Yeah but wasn’t he the one who broke up with you?” Like? So?!

It’s even worse when they go around telling their friends that you were the abusive one.

It’s like the ultimate last power/control move. And meanwhile you’re left almost mourning them like a death. 😳

It was so painful remembering all of the horrible things he said to me and the fact that he left it at that, and also grieving the man I loved at the same time

Tara | Abuse Awareness :
I was left. I have definitely felt shame and absolutely - powerlessness - that he left me before I could find the strength to leave him. Thanks for posting about this.

This definitely needs more awareness! He was the one that left me after 5 years. I reacted to his abuse towards me. Wasn’t my best reaction & I became the worst version of myself overtime. but to this very day, I still wish I was the one that ended it, not him.

I was discarded and just said “ok. I don’t want to be with anyone that doesn’t want to be with me.”

I caught mine cheating and he left to be with her and blocked me for a few days but it was the most crushing and devastating thing ever. I did everything I could to get back with him 💔😞 I couldn’t accept that he was leaving me even tho I was building the courage to leave him

I left mine but I used to pray he'd leave me because I didn't feel strong enough for a long time.

I got discarded, begged for him back and then realized how terrible he was and ended up having to call the police on him one night and never looked back now

Thank you for this!!!!!!! This is my reality. He left me for someone else. I truly don’t think I ever would have left him. I’m grateful now, but I still wish I would have had the power.

People will also say you can’t be abused if you stay and THEY are the ones who leave. They don’t get it.

I left and came back. 4yrs replaced by a new girl in a week after I finally came back. I told everyone how he actually was to me and she saw it and dumped him yesterday.
