* TRIGGER WARNING * Narcissists & Sexual Abuse in Toxic Relationships: No Legally Means No, Even If You're Married

Did you know that if you say no to sex and your spouse or partner goes ahead and has sex with you anyway, it's considered rape?

Statistically speaking, more narcissists will rape their spouses than other people. Even legally speaking, marital and relationship rape is not okay.

But so often, men and women aren't aware that it's even considered rape, let alone that there are actions they can take to protect themselves.

The shame and pain of it all can lead to PTSD or C-PTSD symptoms - and sadly, for those survivors involved with people with NPD and other cluster B disorders, that's often already a factor that holds them back in recovery.

In this video, I'll offer you the details on how you can be raped by your own spouse or partner and on the statistics surrounding this, and I'll share a free resource for you to get help if you are dealing with this in your own toxic relationship wtih a narcissist.

What is ambient abuse? How does a narcissist use it against a source of narcissistic supply (AKA victim)? It's defined as "to strategically exploit and utilize love and compassion to ensure dominance and control."

But what does that mean in layman's terms, and how can you recognize ambient abuse and gaslighting in toxic relationships?

That's what I'll explain in this video - plus, I'll offer you three clear stages you'll experience when a narcissist gaslights you.

When you go through the pain of manipulation in toxic relationships, you literally need to go through recovery. You may experience PTSD symptoms and you will most definitely need time for healing and figuring out who you reallly are again.

The Stanky Narcissist: Why Some Narcissists Don't Take Showers (Another Downside for Cerebral Narcs)

Today I'm answering another question from a YouTube viewer, who wants to know why some narcissist NEVER seem to take showers. She mentions that she knows a narcissist who seems to stink every time she sees him.

I suggest that this could have to do with the fact that he's a cerebral narcissist - quite the opposite of the somatic narcissist.

How can you help a kid who is stuck with narcissist parents? Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Answers

Sorry I'm late! This one took some time.

Today, I'm answering a question from a YouTube viewer named Axil, who asks if there's anything he can do to help his 13-year-old brother, who still resides at home with their narcissistic parents.

His letter:

I am actually a subscriber on your YouTube channel. Your videos have helped me a ton on narcissists and how to deal with them. I need your advice on something that you have not covered.

My story is really long and dramatic (and I swear it's real; I'm not making any of it up), so I'll keep it short. My half-brother and I were raised by a narcissistic mom and dad (his dad to be specific). I was disowned (and went no-contact) 2-3 years ago now, and am finally getting my life back together. However, after learning that I was emotionally, verbally, mentally, digitally, financially, and physically abused by them, I cannot help but worry for my little brother. He is 13 now. I am almost 25. I have not been able to talk to him for this same 2-3 year period. I have heard from other family members that he's getting depressed. I want to get him out of that situation if possible. From my research, he's turning into a narcissist himself already, and that was when he was around 8 years old. These people are so bad I tried to kill myself 3 times in one year under their care (all at about 17). The 4th attempt was after they disowned me, and I would have succeeded if I hadn't stopped myself. I'm no longer suicidal, but I refuse to watch as my brother (the former golden child) is now (possibly) the new scapegoat (previously me).

I have already told 311, who told the non-emergency police in my area and by protocol investigated him at his house, but otherwise I'm stumped. What do I do? I have gone to everyone else, and they either can't help, or don't believe me. I just need your advice. My brother means everything to me.

Please let me know what you think of the situation as soon as possible. If I left anything out, please email me back at any time. If you end up using my story, that's fine. I only ask that my last name not be given, and that my brother be called "Adam" instead of his real name, that way he'll still know it's from me without actually calling him out. Is that okay?

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Axil

Narcissists & Smear Campaigns: How can you get over the anger? Narcissistic Abuse Recovery FAQ

Today I'm answering a question from a viewer and SPAN member named Rachel. She asks how to get over the anger and the need for revenge when you're dealing with a narcissist who is actively smear campaigning you.

The everyday average person can't imagine what it's like to experience a smear campaign at the hands of someone they love - and that's because, in general, people who love you would never consider such behavior.

But narcissists are different - they are far more likely to engage in manipulative behavior - and for one simple reason: they will do literally anything to get what they want - and that includes maliciously lying or spreading rumors or exaggerations about you.

I'll answer Rachel's question specifically and I'll also explain exactly what a smear campaign is, why the narcissist needs to create smear campaigns against you (including the neurological components involved), and I'll explain how to deal without going crazy in the process.

If you're dealing with a break up or divorce from someone with NPD, you might be interested in knowing more about how the smear campaign and other forms of malicious manipulation can really affect you and your life - and how to deal. This video will help you with that.

Question of the Day (#QOTD): Have you had a narcissist run a smear campaign against you, and if so, how did you handle it?

How do you explain a narcissist to someone who doesnt get it? Narcissistic Abuse Recovery FAQ

Or: How to Explain Narcissists and No Contact to Friends and Family

A narcissist is someone who "seeks constant affirmation, despite all findings."

A lot of people ask me how they can explain their narcissist to people in their lives; and, whether its because they go no-contact, or because they want a friend, relative or therapist to understand what they're dealing with - they don't know where to begin. When you are affected by emotional abuse in a toxic relationship with a narcissist, it can be really tough to explain to some people, especially if you've done your best to hide the problem up until the time you try to explain.

In this video, I'll teach you how to explain a narcissist to someone who doesn't understand - and I'll offer you a series of narcissistic abuse recovery FAQ for when you need to explain narcissists and narcissistic abuse to your friends and/or family members when they ask - before and after going no contact.

When a Narcissist Threatens Suicide to Make You Stay: Narcissistic Abuse & Manipulation Tactics

If you've ever been in a relationship with a narcissist who has become toxic, you know how sneaky and underhanded their abuse and manipulation can be - between the gaslighting and the love bombing (not to mention, everything in between), you may not even feel like you know which end is up anymore!

But when you finally gather up the strength and courage to leave, the narcissist will sometimes pull the lowest trick in the book: threatening suicide - which, of course, they claim can only be alleviated by your presence. They use suicide threats to hoover you back in and often as a last resort.

But will the narcissist actually commit suicide? That is the question - and what are you supposed to do when a narcissist threatens to kill himself or herself? How should you deal with suicide threats from a toxic person?

That's what I'm covering in today's video. The psychology of NPD and suicide threats.
