Remember this, my love.
They were not sorry when you did not know. They will repeat their behaviour and get away with it because they know they can. That is the hard truth.
We teach people how to treat us by what we accept, and they know this better than anyone. They are always testing the waters, always pushing the boundaries, always seeing exactly how far they can go. Because they do not have empathy, they have entitlement. Entitlement to treat you in any way they can get away with.
You think you are being a good person by being understanding, by forgiving, by giving them another chance. You are a good person. That is never the question. But your own sense of self and your own sense of worth is deeply tangled up in this dynamic and that is where the healing has to happen.
None of this is your fault. The experiences, the priming, the conditioning that got you here, none of that is on you. But healing is always your responsibility and that is not the same thing as blame. It is actually the most empowering truth there is.
I never tell anyone to leave because I know how hard it is. But if you are in it, if you have gone back, if there is a little part of you that is beating yourself up about it, please be gentle with yourself and do the healing work at the same time. Narc knowledge, self knowledge. Both matter.
You are worth so much more than this dynamic, babe. I have totally been there and I am here for you. I got you β₯οΈ
