Narcissistic Personality Disorder

Hi, my name is szahara. I'm here because I was married to & raised two kids with a man who has narcissistic personality disorder. I’m trying to navigate having to share custody with a man who was/is abusive to me & my kids. I’m trying to make sense out of how the court system in this country is not adept to protecting battered women & their children. I’m trying to heal & salvage what remains of my life that he so skillfully & strategically destroyed. I’m struggling to find the courage to move forward & build a new life for myself after being completely isolated & controlled for so long. I wish I had known about narcissistic personality disorder & cluster B disorders decades earlier & am frustrated when I hear that my only recourse is to tip-toe around the predator. This generational trauma is not his fault, but this doesn’t mean I’m the one who has to pretend any of this is normal & have to lie to my kids about who their father really is. It feels like people are more concerned with protecting him, while I am invalidated & forced to live with the fallout he caused. Its lonely & confusing.

Hi everybody. My name is Rina. Anyone here dealt with a narcissist before? Would like to discuss and get support!

#narcisism , #NarcissisticPersonalityDisorder One of the hardest things to come to grips with in regard to narcissism is when you see that they just don't care. They know that they are in the wrong and they know what they've done to you and for some reason, they hate you for it.

They have to villainize you in their minds and justify what they've done through all kinds of magic reality bending where they tell them selves an alternate version of what happened and they commit that to memory. They then believe this altered reality and will fight you on it tooth and nail.

In the end, one thing always stands true. They know what they've done to you in the back of their minds and they know it was wrong, but because it's not in their own self interests to tell you, they just don't care. They don't care what they've done.

You are broken, beaten, scarred and they walked away with your future and they don't care what damage they left behind. They just don't care.

What was the vibe of the neighborhood you grew up in? Was it all cozy and close-knit, or more of a wild, anything-goes kind of place? Spill the deets! 🏡✨

The neighborhood I grew up in was semi mid-class but 20 years past and its now the hood! #BPD #MentalHealth #Anxiety #NarcissisticPersonalityDisorder #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder

Isn’t it wild how some songs just hit you right in the feels? Like, you’re vibing one second, and then bam—total mood shift. Music can be so powerful like that, it’s kinda crazy. #BPD #MentalHealth #Anxiety #Depression #PTSD #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #NarcissisticPersonalityDisorder

Have you ever had one of those moments where the emotions just hit you like a tidal wave, and before you know it, you’re breaking down in the middle of a crowded room? It’s like the world fades away, and for a second, it’s just you and your feelings, no matter who’s around. 🥺 #BPD #MentalHealth #Anxiety #Depression #SensoryProcessingDisorder #Bipolar #NarcissisticPersonalityDisorder #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder

Has your dad ever tried to replace quality time with a gift, like it could somehow fill the gap? It’s tough because no present can compare to the value of real moments together. Time spent means more than anything money can buy—it’s what truly strengthens the bond. 💙

My dad use to give me gold jewelry and nice watches when I was between 6-12 year of age in replace of his time or just for showing off what he did for me, it was never really for my own benefit. #BPD #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #NarcissisticPersonalityDisorder #MentalHealth

Why do so many girls dream of becoming cheerleaders? It’s not just about the routines or the uniforms—it’s often about the spotlight they feel they’re missing at home. They want to feel valued, special, and like they truly matter to those around them. Cheerleading offers a chance to connect, shine, and feel needed in a way that fills an emotional void. 💖#MentalHealth #Anxiety #Depression #PTSD #BPD #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #Bipolar #NarcissisticPersonalityDisorder
