You’re exhausted from the rollercoaster.

The highs feel incredible, but the lows cut deep. Whether it’s a partner or a family member, the cycle of abuse feels the same-just with different faces and behaviours.

If you’re thinking about leaving a narcissistic relationship, or you’ve already taken that brave first step, know this: you’ve shown incredible courage.

But the healing doesn’t stop there.

After the relationship ends, it’s common to feel lost and confused- questioning yourself, replaying the “good times,” and struggling to remember why you left. You may find yourself asking, “How did I end up here? Why me?”

This is where the real work begins—rebuilding your sense of self, reclaiming your peace of mind, and finally breaking free from the cycle.

Is my partner or parent a narcissist?

  1. The narcissistic person uses manipulation and control to dominate you. It’s done in the form of gaslighting, guilt-tripping, or emotional blackmail.

  2. Narcissistic person often exploit others for their own gain, whether it’s for attention, admiration, financial support, validation, or pity.

  3. They lack empathy and genuine concern for you and others. Maybe they seem to have empathy, but you can sense something is off or it is not real.

  4. They devalue you. They do it by belittling you, criticizes you, insult your intelligence, and diminish your self-worth and self-esteem.

  5. Narcissists engage in the cycle of idealization (love-bombing) and devaluation.

  6. They isolate you from your friends and family, until you completely rely on them.

  7. When confronted, they blame you or other people, portraying themselves as innocent.

  8. They involve third party into the relationships as a way to isolate you or to create jealousy or competition= triangulation.

  9. In severe cases, narcissistic abuse can escalate to threats, intimidation, or even physical violence.

  10. You find it challenging to escape the relationship due to manipulation, fear of the threats, fear of loneliness, or financial dependency.
