Losing you was my best win.”

“I like many have suffered the effects born of betrayal's poison. However, it's the effects born of having suffered narcissistic abuse, that are especially malignant, malevolent, debilitating, insidious, devious and damaging. I loved a narcissist so deeply, that I became lost in the fog of that love I felt for her, due to the fact that narcissists aren't capable of love. They have no idea what love is, and this in essence rendered our "love," a symbol without substance.

Now that I am healing and fighting my way back to "me," I understand that she's not just a narcissist, but too, she's a Succubus. A Succubus whose wicked gift to me is - she will always remind me of how close I came to danger.

“One day, I'd found myself sitting in heavy fog. Not the kind of fog that's suspended in air and languishes there, but the kind fog born out of dealing a narcissist or a toxic person. The fog, more commonly known as "brain fog." The acronym FOG stands for (Fear, Obligation, and Guilt.) These emotions are often used by manipulators, including narcissists, to control others.

"While sitting there, I started having a moment of clarity. With clarity came acuity. After I gained clarity and acuity, I began to move with celerity.

That was the day my soul said aloud, "We're not loved here. We're not appreciated here. We're not valued here, nor are we seen here. It's time to walk away from here. Then we must dedicate ourselves to staying away from here, and never coming back here."
That was the day that I began to thrive.

“One day, I'd found myself sitting in heavy fog. Not the kind of fog that's suspended in air and languishes there, but the kind fog born out of dealing a narcissist, or a toxic person. The fog, more commonly known as "Brain Fog," is a very real and surreal place. The acronym FOG stands for (Fear, Obligation, and Guilt). These emotions are often used by manipulators, including narcissists, to control others.

"After sitting there for a couple of hours, and after asking myself some hard questions and finding answers to those question, I'd started having a moment of clarity. With clarity came acuity. After I gained clarity and acuity, I began to move with celerity in every aspect of my life, but more specifically with her.

That was the day my soul said aloud, "We're not loved here. We're not appreciated here. We're not valued here, nor are we seen here. It's time to walk away from here. Then we must dedicate ourselves to staying away from here, and never coming back here."
That was the day I'd disconnected. That was the day I'd checked out. That was also the day that I'd redirected my focus. Fog lifted, that was the first day I began to thrive.

“When you destroy someone's life with lies and false accusations, God's justice is set in motion. Blaming and creating false stories will ultimately seal your fate. The weight of your deceit will crush you, as the truth comes to light. Every false promise and hope you dangled will turn to dust. Betrayal and backstabbing may seem to work temporarily, but God's judgment will prevail. Your actions will come back sevenfold, bringing suffering and regret. You can't escape the consequences of your evil deeds, for 'whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap' (Galatians 6:7-8).”

― Annie Tanasugarn
