N.A.R.C. Troopers: Narcissistic Abuse Recovery CollaboratorsLove Song for a Sea SlugToday, we have a little fun with the comparison of a sea creature who can amputate parts of their own body and re-generate a new improved version in its place. I expressed my desire to possess the same skill in suffering the disease and contaminated parts of myself that have been devoured by the narcissist or sociopath, and replacing it with a whole and healthy new version of myself. Wishful thinking. This little tongue in cheek illustrates our need for healing.

It is complicated, and for a time, it may be completely out of reach. Can we hold people responsible for their sins against us and others if they are mentally dysregulated and impaired? Should we simply pity them? What can we do to be at peace with what has happenned? So many questions and no perfect answers or absolutes.

N.A.R.C. Troopers: Narcissistic Abuse Recovery CollaboratorsWhen the Sweetness is PoisonWhat happens when sweetness turns out to be poison? Sweetness is a highly valued quality in our world, and the narcopath has adapted, assimilated, and learned how to be sweet as cherry pie with ice cream on top.
After a brief digression about assigning labels, the value of sweetness is examined and the qualities that are truly important are identified:
moral virtue, loyalty, steadfastness, honesty, transparency, commitment, self-sacrifice, generosity, fidelity, devotion, courage.
These are the things that matter the most.

N.A.R.C. Troopers: Narcissistic Abuse Recovery CollaboratorsDrowning in an Inch of Water: Learned HelplessnessLearned helplessness paralyzes recovery after abuse from a Cluster B partner. It is a dynamic that happens slowly over the course of a relationship with a narcopath that is a total erosion of your ability to be a self-actualized, whole, and complete individual. You come to depend on the narcopath for all cues and behaviors and responses. You depend on them to be the only source of your existence and survival. They take away all of your power until you are a raw, defenseless, helpless, incapable mess. You are not helpless, and your only chance of freedom from this...

N.A.R.C. Troopers: Narcissistic Abuse Recovery CollaboratorsWhen Murder is Your Best OptionThe narcissist psychopath is a murderer, and more importantly, they have already murdered themselves. The only way you can be free is to ceremoniously "kill" them (not literally in real life). One good kill deserves another.

They do not see you as a human being but as an object and as a way to get what they need. They may appear charming and kind and polite depending on what type of narcissist they may be and the degree of sociopathy or psychopathy which is present, but it is all a false persona. The real person who is rockin' your world is dead inside. So completely and utterly absent that they are ghosts, vampires, wizards who only feel human when they take your life force...

N.A.R.C.

A critical part of that healing comes from work done with the wounded, injured child within. It may seem like an insurmountable task, but it is a necessary one. Give her(him) space and time to tell you what they need. It will be the most meaningful friendship you ever have.
