Losing Yourself in a Narcissistic Relationshi...
When you're in a narcissistic relationship, your world quietly starts to shrink.
In a narcissistic relationship, you were conditioned to believe that everything was your fault. Every argument, every failure, every unmet expectation - somehow, you ended up carrying the blame. Why? Because a narcissist can never admit they are wrong.
Over time, you unknowingly took on the role of fixer, peacemaker, and emotional punching bag. And now that the relationship has ended, that weight still lingers, leaving you feeling empty, disoriented, and questioning your every move.
But here’s the truth: You were never responsible for their actions, their emotions, or their inability to love you the way you deserved.
It’s time to reclaim your power.
• Release the guilt that was never yours to carry.
• Rebuild your self-worth, not through their validation but through your own love.
• Step into a future where you are free, whole, and no longer controlled by misplaced responsibility.
Your healing starts now. The emptiness is not your end - it is your new beginning.
