Covert Narcissist. Never have I heard these words together and even if I had I wouldn't have given em 2 thoughts before our marriage. I would hear ppl refer to others as being " narcissistic " and took it as it's a person who is into them selves too much. There is SO much more to it and this label is tossed around to often and misused. I now know what is happening and am able to do the resalearch and educate myself to get me through the moments he goes into attack mode. It's hard and exhausting. I spend most my time at home trying to stay hidden and quiet. When I have to be present I try to choose my words, tones, facial expression and mood correctly to keep the peace. My life in this house while he is here is a constant feeling of walking on egg shells. As long as i make him feel that he is amazing, the best person on earth, the smartest the best looking and how fortunate i am that i get to be the one with him then its the best it can be. I have to shut down as much as I can and " not care " as much as I can and fake through this to make it through this, and I will!
I have a plan. I'm sticking to and should be able to be out and completely free by summer 2025.
Thanks for a space for me to " speak "
Covert Abuse is serious and hard to deal with and overcome. I am stronger than this.
