Agreed. My mom was Narc, my ex and my sister. I never understood why and how I could be so messed up to the point that I destroyed lives as told by those three in my life. Once my mom died, divorced my ex and walked away from my sister my life had new meaning. I felt peace, no longer panicking over phone calls wondering what I'd be listening to this time. I didn't need anxiety meds and my relationship with my children has blossomed beautifully. Sadly however, I'm still dealing with a lifetime of abuse and PTSD , it's hard to climb out of. I do talk myself out of a lot of things because I don't feel worthy and don't wanna risk meeting more people to validate my fears. It's a hard world out there

@Anne Briggs i guess that is the worst case to happen :( But still: first of all you need to radical accept that she is how she is and might never change. Stop ruminating, for you can't change the past (whatever happened, it will be sad and hard to overlook, but still...) I think i would stay in touch, but from a big distance. So I know a bit about how she is doing, but keep the souldistance. And live your own life!! If she still lives with you, you are the one in charge, enetually kick her out.

I have seen true crime. Sometimes people face no justice. There was one murderer who only got punished decades later because they handed themselves in. There is no justice and if you don't get it you are seen as vindictive and bitter. Why even have a justice system or police? Truth obviously is hated and doesn't matter

what goes around, comes around. Narcs burn bridges til they're an island. We don't have to do anything but distance ourselves.

As my grandmother told me when she was alive..." the best revenge is to live well". Narcissists hate when you live well without them. My narcissistic abusive ex is alone and cut out of my life... I am in a happy, healthy relationship with a man that loves and treats me really well now. I still suffer from trauma from my ex, but my new partner supports me and let's me cry, vent and talk to him about it whenever I need too. We are not victims of narcissists, we are survivors!

@pippinlowe6555

So its something in the water? I only half jest about that. I think a deeper focus on your correct idea that 'they will never admit it' is that they can't admit it without destroying the spirit of their character. Who does that? The hermit. Who has enough confidence in themselves to do that within a social context? Probably an emerging from their cave 'hermit'. The idea that relationships are not worthy anymore is just sadness in the heart. Understandable sadness, yet it is self-destructive when release from it is unavailable. So my advice as a nobody is to cry hard for your loss, turn your back on the narcissist, find the lesson in the experience, then MAKE PLANS FOR A BETTER LIFE.

They may move on, but they are still miserable inside. They don't sleep, there's no stability in their life. That's the justice.

Doctor Ramani, I’ve been involved in a narcissistic relationship for 4 yrs of my life and it has destroyed me spiritually, emotionally, physically and financially. I’m relieved to know I finally had enough and I don’t care about what happens to him anymore, I’m completely detached, it came to the point I just had enough. I’m an extremely caring person and I had never been treated this way. It shocked me to the point I believed I wasn’t good enough but I’m finally free. I’ve been listening to your videos for about a year and it changed my perspective, it gave me the knowledge I needed and the push to walk away from him. I don’t wish him any harm I just want to recover all the pieces of my soul he broke in these 4 yrs. I’m happy to finally let go of that which was silently killing my joy for life. Thank you!!!

I’m just ready to get this person out my head..

My second divorce finally gave me justice after two years of a trial and tens of thousands of dollars. My fifth child was only 4 months old when I got a restraining order and served him divorce papers. He wanted my pension(I’m a teacher), full custody (he never changed diapers, bathed our 3 children, read books,etc), the house, alimony and child support. Day after day of brutal court appearances, DCF involvement, and tears about the physical and emotional abuse while trying to nurse my infant and work full time was overwhelming! But each and every day, I said the Serenity Prayer and prayed to God to help me nurture and raise my children in a peaceful home. Then on July 7, the judge congratulated the fine work of my attorney (his attorney quit) and granted me everything!

The lack of injustice has caused me bitterness. It's a roadblock on my healing journey. Working on it. This message came right on time for me.

Hence why am still Ruminating too !! truer words have never been spoken

I was in a narcissistic relationship for seventeen years. I could not figure out what I was doing wrong, Nothing I did was good enough . He always twisted it to whereh was the victim. And you're right doctor , You start to wonder if you're crazy, if you're the Narcissist. After years of abuse my family noticed how different I was. They kept asking me what happened to you? I really didn't understand it myself until I started seeing a therapist and watching your videos. I have just recently started the process of healing. Still going tthrough the grief period. What finally made me realize that I had get out of this relationship was once when he finally made a comment that made me realize what he was doing to me was deliberate. Planned and calculated. Even diabolica. And the doctor is right , it's time for me to take care of myself. I am determined to be healed one way or another. My justice is kwing how empty and miserable he is. And now he's an old man of seventy two who cannot perform sexually. That's just icing on the cake . Thank you so much for the videos. You have helped me tremendously! If I could I would give you the biggest hug ever! ❤

Fantastic quote. Thank you! "What is to give light must endure burning"

I believe that narcissists ARE their own Karma. The misery, pain and misfortune they create for others is their very life breath. They live a very empty, dark and pathetic existence. During and/or after their wrath, we at least stand a chance of happiness. That's what we must hold onto. Blessings

The scapegoat lives forever with PTSD (PTSD reactions become involuntary by the time a child is an adult). Then the dangerous parents try to do their destruction behind the scenes to the scapegoats who prefer to leave. This needs a movement, similar to the Civil Rights movement, or child labor laws.

@@lisewinne4423 I agree in all but the government. That avenue simply cannot be pursued, especially at this particular place and time. If you try, bit by bit, you're going to end up with something like the USSR or Brave New World. The idea of standardized periodic mental health screening and subsequent filtration, or manufacturing the ideal standardized citizen by placing them in state facilities from an early age, is not new. The Soviets were particularly fascinated with cybernetics and the role of the environment in modulating and behavior. To quote a report of the time: "As one Soviet author puts it, cybernetics [use of the human system of feedback and internal control] can be used in molding of a child's character, the inculcation of knowledge and techniques, the amassing of experience, the establishing of social behavior patterns, all functions which can be summarized as control of the growth process of the individual. Students of particular disciplines in the USSR, such as psychologists and social scientists, also support the general cybernetic trend." I can see the rationale in further transferring the role of the parents to some state apparatus, but I think the risk in establishing formal mechanisms to further dissolve the family unit and its role in personal development, is too great. Not that what either of us thinks matters. The world will eventually, probably within the next 10 to 30 years, create some sort of machine-God which will do exactly as you described, one way or another. This will incentivize and punish, to regulate the broader human behavior.

The best justice is that they don’t find out you’ve left (or that they’ve lost you) until after you’ve gone, it might even be that you tricked them into leaving you.

I’ve lost my home because I trusted my narcissist ex I’m homeless and broken after the 10 year relationship I’m struggling to cope and recover if it wasn’t for these episodes I wouldn’t even know what has happened to me!

It's very hard to gain freedom around those people and often means you'll gain your freedom by a "war".

So I walk away without words, without a bookend to the chapter. But I like what you said about winning back my freedom. That is all I really have at the end of all of this trauma. And that is worth the pain of walking away.

I was assaulted by a man who I now know was probably a narcissist. He had taunted me and pushed me around for months. But one night, he assaulted me after being very verbqlly abusive, picking a fight for literally no reason, he just wanted to make me miserable and abuse me. Well, a relative of mine called the police. A sheriff came over, I told him what happened, he examined me for evidence, apparently found a lot of it, and the DA pressed charges. He didn't get away with it. He also later, tried to intimidate me to not show up in court when they were going to possibly convict him. He even told me that everyone was saying that there was no case, and made fun of me.Well even though my own sister tried to discourage me from bothering to show up, I got out of bed and got myself down there. The look on his face when he saw me enter was something else. He was convicted, and for the first time, I got some kind of justice.

Yet she was so narcissistic that she believed a year later she could waltz back in and take the kids back. She turned the tears on in court, we really worried the judge would fall for it, but he said dry your eyes lady, I know all the tricks! When he awarded custody to my partner I don't know how we didn't all jump to our feet and cheer lol. She never kept up with contact after, and hasn't seen or spoken to them for about 8 years now. As sad and vile as that is, they are all young adults now, we have finally got them through their trauma and they think of me as their Mum now and have my kids as siblings.

@Dawn Green Oh my goodness Dawn. It’s not very often I come across someone that understands! For some reason people don’t think that women are capable of treating their children this way. I think these mothers are much more covert, they seem to be able to convince people easily that they are innocent. Some of the things you shared are so similar to what my stepkids mother did too, although it sounds like you went through hell for a lot longer. I can relate to your experience as the oldest child so much, as my eldest stepson being 10 at the time witnessed so much more than his siblings but he buried his emotions and trauma and happened to unfortunately be the child that behaved, where as his younger siblings acted out massively and my step daughter being the only girl and the youngest seemed to get the most attention and support. The youngest were wild at school and at home and were referred for counselling etc whereas he suffered in silence. Like you, his experience was not just limited to her abandoning him, he had suffered 10 years of abuse and witnessed so much that his siblings don’t remember. A few years ago it all came out and he told me he was suicidal, finally opening up and asked me to help him with getting to see professionals, he was so painfully introverted he could not pick up the phone. Their mother has had 4 more kids too, and when she did have contact it was only to tell my stepkids how perfect her new family was, they have met the eldest child and she too wanted them to babysit him while she chatted online to some guy. She was a very reckless person in general, driving like a lunatic with babies in their car seat, she was violent, smashing the house up, stabbing the furniture in front of them. She has no sexual boundaries, and this resulted in the kids displaying sexualised behaviours..Leaving them was the best thing she could have done really, she could have gone about it differently though. I’m so sorry to hear how horrifically you were treated, and for such a prolonged time, it’s not often that I realise that things could have been much worse for my stepkids, I’m sure you’ll understand what I mean by that. It’s only recently that I’ve found all this information about Narcissism and personality disorders/abuse etc. I wish it was available 12-13 years ago so I was able to help them and have a deeper understanding. My partner and I were just in a constant state of rage for about 5 years trying to process everything, I’m a very emotional person and I thought I was going crazy. The worst part was how people believed the crap she told them, they believed her when she told people that we were lying and had made the kids tell people about the abuse! Your grandmother sounds like an amazing person, thank goodness, it’s not easy to heal children that have been so mistreated! There was so many times where I nearly gave up, I just couldn’t find a way of reaching into their souls and healing the hurt, it was a constant daily battle and my children would also feel jealous of the time and energy I spent with the stepkids. I bet she is beaming with pride of the person you have become! A survivor. There are some good people out there. I hope you and your siblings are on the road to healing, I don’t think it ever leaves you but I’ve seen that it makes you want to be the best person you can be, as far away as possible from that horrible woman.

Dr Ramani is extremely biased and gaslighting the public. The court system rarely gives full or even joint custody to fathers, even good ones. Most divorces are 'no fault' divorces and end with a court enforced redistribution of communal property, half always going to the wife. Narcissists rarely win in divorce court unless they are a woman or powerful and well connected. Women generally are the beneficiaries of divorce. Not all men are abusers or narcissists but all men get fleeced in divorce court and have their children taken from them. This is by design. The family court system is biased and stacked against men. We can waste time blaming the system or we can assign responsibility where it belongs. Women who are more than willing to game the system use their protected status and the power of the courts to strip men of their wealth and take away their children. These are facts not opinion. Over 50% of all marriages end in divorce. 75% of divorce petitions are initiated by women. The wedding and divorce industry is a billion dollar business. If half of the Narcissists and Borderline in any given population are women who stands to benefit most from divorce settlements and custody proceedings. Narcissistic men and women are created by abusive, neglectful and exploitative Borderline and Narcissistic mothers. Leaving children in the hands of women like this is not good for the mental health and overall life outcomes of children from 'Cluster B' families. More commonly where you will see justice subverted by sociopaths, narcissists and the rich and powerful is in the criminal courts. Dirty cops, corrupt prosecutors and venal judges are paid off and routinely shame and vilify victims, threaten witnesses and let perpetrators get away with larceny, fraud, rape and murder.

@@michaeljensen4650 interesting comment that you feel Dr Ramani is gaslighting. Her whole point is entirely agreeing with what you are saying here - that most narcissists get their way and are not brought to justice.

Self love my needs come first Got a motorcycle Going to the gym Just moving on and healing Best revenge is living your best life

Your statement about people in their lives "needing to walk on eggshells and protect the narcissist" rung true with me - I definitely did that with my ex, and her friends did it with her as well. It was an exhausting way to live. I barely managed it for two years; I can't imagine doing it for an entire lifetime. I no longer need to walk on eggshells and protect my ex, nor do I need to ever do that with anyone again. I *have* gained my freedom, and it feels good. Thank you for your content. It helps in the healing process.

Imagine not suffering in that way anymore and meeting someone who actually loves you and who you are allowed to love.. that’s the best case scenario, that’s justice

I haven't watched any such movie or show. But i agree with you, totally, Dr Ramani. My narcissistic mother actually did get served out some punishment...sort of. She went from very wealthy to average. Her big beautiful house shrunk into a rented apartment. People around her, even her so called supporters either get tired of her pretty quickly or ditched her when she really needed someone. She's old too. But what i feel is true punishment is the state of her mind and heart. Empty of real joy and satisfaction, her heart empty of real love and affection, neither does she give nor does she get. She does fear a lonely death, and I wonder how many will truly mourn her passing. People will remember her for the wrong reasons. What more justice do I need?

"Survivors are the most interesting people at the dinner table". Thank you! I agree.😽❤

Success is always going to be the best revenge 💯.

Yes, but careful to not want to be "successful" just because you think it would hurt them. It's just another proof that they still have a hold on you, I think. Actually, I prefer for them to not know anything about my success and to think that I am miserable, because I know they would try to ruin my happiness if they knew of my success. ;)

I can’t even explain how much your content means to me. It saved me. It saved my life. I was drowning in grief. You saved me. God bless you Dr.Ramani!!

When I started my career, fresh out of college, a female co-worker bullied me intensely before I even walked through the door. It was a nightmare, felt sick going to work everyday, she ganged a whole crew against me. I manged to survive the first year and swith departments. 15 yrs later she died of cancer at the young age of 45. By then I didn't care. Even felt a little sorry. My narcisstic sibling walked away with the majority of the inheritence while I did all the heavy lifting, took care of my dementia ridden mother and abusive father. All the while my narcisstic sibling laughed in my face. Lost my career in the process, devoloped severe trauma and depression due to having to stare at death and lost my savings to funeral costs and months of unemployment while trying to get out of bed.

Sometimes the justice is simply that they can no longer control, manipulate or gaslight you. They lose.

We have definitely been refined through the fire- changed us into someone we never knew we could be- You are a true blessing Dr.Ramani😇🥰

Exactly. Please pray for me as I am an artist who is also #RecoveringFromNarcissisticAbuse

Narcissists often die lonely and sad, that’s enough for me. I’m not going to do anything to make things different, she has made her own life and she can live it and die, without me. I just wish she could take it all with her, but poisonous bits of her will linger on in my head… I’m moving on slowly with therapy

I destroyed my narcissist. It wasn’t easy I had to take a lot of abuse. But I can’t speak for all narcissistic, people but the ones that I have dealt with you’ll be surprised what information they let slip. And a lot of the time they do lie. But you are able to tell the difference between the lies and the genuine information they tell you about themselves.

"I'm letting you go." The most hard/emotional words I told my gaslighting, narcissistic husband of TWELVE years.

After catching mine out cheating, knowing something had been off for months, being gas lighted and belittled, telling me I'm paranoid, she wouldn't look me in the eye, didn't react emotionally to anything I was saying at all just sat there like a dog being told off, until I called her a narcissist and boy did I get a reaction. I left the next day after 8 years, erased any trace of her, changed numbers, blocked everyone she knows and just left. I didn't recognise who I was looking at kus she was already mirroring the bloke she monkey branched over to. The smear campaign after being proved she'd been messing around was so ridiculous I'm grateful the majority of people know me well enough.

Yes, my narcissist just moved on, he has more money after spending all mine, has a new woman and I am alone. I'm trying to be indifferent but I'm not there yet.

"we have to learn to heal without that justice".... so true. also, when you began talking around 10:25 marker "a major shift for you is to frame it differently"-- you completely described to the T what i'm going though.. it means a lot. thank you...

PERFECT APPROACH! Thanks! Justice to them is to God!
