@mightyyyymouse: “I never stopped you.” One of the most subtle ways a narcissist controls you. And you fall for it every time. Technically, they’re right. They never said don’t see your friends. Never said you can’t wear that. Never said turn down the job. They didn’t need to. They just made every choice EXPENSIVE. You want to see your friends? Fine. But now they’re in a mood. “Must be nice to have time for everyone else.” A fight breaks out right as you’re walking out the door. Or the freeze-out waiting when you get home. You wear the outfit? The look. The little laugh. “Who’s that for?” You mention the job offer? A quiet “hmm.” And suddenly you feel selfish for wanting anything that isn’t them. So you adjusted. Not because they told you to. Because fighting for normal things got EXHAUSTING. Easier to cancel. Easier to change clothes. Easier to shrink. You trained yourself. That was the whole design. And here’s the trap snapping shut. Years later you say “you made me give up everything.” And they calmly say “I never stopped you.” And you can’t prove otherwise. No rule. No order. Just consequences every single time. That’s coercive control. They don’t forbid you. They condition you until you forbid YOURSELF, then let you take the blame for it. So answer this one honestly. What did you quietly give up that nobody ever technically asked you to give up? That answer is where your healing starts. How can I heal if I don’t know what cut me. Save this for the day they say “I never stopped you.” If you’re done paying a toll for living your own life, message me FREEDOM and I’ll show you the blueprint. It is NOT your fault. And God bless. #Love #narcissist #narcissisticabuse #traumabond #emotionalabuse
