Escape From Crazytown

Today we’re talking about what happens when a narcissist is confronted with the truth about him or herself. It is a huge injury to their ego and they will attack. This just further sabotages them, though. If they were able to take the truth and make changes, they could actually heal or become better people. That is a lesson for us all.

The truth about ourselves is sometimes very hard to hear. We have two options once the truth is out there. We can hide or we can deal with it, make changes, and divert from a path of certain destruction. I hope to get as many people as possible to choose the latter.

All I knew was that it felt like Crazytown. That’s what my husband and I called the craziness of the narcissists in our life. You feel like you’re in some kind of alternate universe where right is wrong and wrong is right, where nothing is consistent other than the pain you’d feel after interacting with the narcissist. They also would take you on roller coaster rides with incredible highs and incredible lows. Such is their world. So to help people return to sanity, I decided to create this channel.

Today I’m going to talk about Chris Watts, because there is still so much to learn through this tragedy. The story is very slowly unfolding and very little information is out there about why he murdered his family. And we may never know the truth. The trial is set to start sometime early next year (2019). I think it’s important though that we learn how to keep this from happening again. This is not just a normal man who one day snapped. There were telltale signs of an unraveling marriage and too often the other spouse is not telling close family or friends of their concerns, or downplaying their concerns and problems in the marriage.

In this video I address two scenarios that I think we all need to be more aware of if we encounter them in our own life. A narcissist has a very distorted view of reality and shouldn’t be confronted the same way we would confront a sensible person.

Today we’re going to talk about Karma or Justice. Sometimes we will get justice in this life, but sometimes we won’t. So, how do we heal if we don’t get justice? What if we never see Karma hit the abuser? Can we heal? Yes, of course!

There are multiple interviews with victims and families of victims coming out of court who have been devastated by the convicted criminal. Do they instantly heal when justice is served? No. They may be elated for a moment, but then reality sets in and they realize they are still wounded and in pain. And it takes time for them to find healing. In some cases, they waited so long for the case to come to court that they found healing in the meantime, without getting justice first. So, what do we do if we are in that waiting period? Do we put our lives and healing on hold? No. We need to move forward.

Today we are going to ask the question, “Do you think you would be able to spot an abuser?” Don’t be so quick to say, “Yes.” Many are fooled by a particular type we call narcissistic abusers. They are not the sleezy, easy to spot abusers. Nor are they overtly boorish and obvious. They aren’t openly bullying those they abuse. So, what do we do? How can we become aware of them? Well, sometimes experience is the only teacher. And if it is not our own experience, we should learn from other’s experiences. These narcissists are extremely good at manipulating and can con very intelligent and observant people. They do it all the time.

Today we are going to talk about the narcissist’s smear campaign against you. Be ready for it. It will happen. Somewhat healthy people can end a relationship without smearing the other person. Not so with a narcissist. One of their biggest character flaws is gossip and that will flow over into a smear campaign once the relationship is over. Sometimes it begins before the relationship is over. You just didn’t know about it.

They have to smear you, because they need you to take all the blame for why they left or why the relationship ended. They do not take any of the blame, because that would be admitting a weakness or fault and they don’t believe they have faults or weaknesses. So get ready for Crazytown to hit. Protect yourself by distancing yourself, because everything you say or do after the relationship has ended will be interpreted by them as insanity, manipulation, abuse, or a downright lie (you know… all the things about them that they will project onto you).

Today, we’re going to talk about projection and what that tells us about the narcissist. Projection is a narcissist’s weakness. They can’t help but accuse and criticized others for the very things they themselves do, but detest. It is a way for them to distance themselves from their own bad behavior. What they don’t understand is that we can see the hypocrisy (eventually). You will be shocked at all the things they said about others that perfectly describe the narcissist. So, listen carefully and the narcissist will tell you all about himself/herself.

Today I want to talk about something funny I read about toxic people leaving you. I know. How can that be funny? It’s kind of harsh, but it made me laugh out loud. Seriously. I’m not usually this harsh, but it was funny.

It’s hard to deal with rejection. No one loves rejection, but we can laugh in the face of it! Yes we can… if we can find the humor in the situation. So, thank goodness there are some funny people out there to help us along!

Today I want to talk about the narcissist’s fan club or flying monkeys. They can be as toxic as the narcissist is to your health. But they have a secret. I believe that they are not as big a fan of the narcissist as we may think. And they often have ulterior motives as well. If you feel your sanity is slipping, being around the fan club or flying monkeys will make it worse.

Today we are going to talk about what happens to your judgement when you are with a narcissist. They have a way of enveloping you in their world and their way of thinking. It gets to the point where you become uncertain of your own judgement and rely on theirs. By the time you leave, the wounding is more than physical or relational. It is deeper and goes into your own self belief or self trust.

So, we have to rebuild trust in ourselves and get our compass right again. How can we do that? Well, we start by acknowledging that what we were in was a fantasy world, so we can’t set our compass by anything that was said or done there. Rememeber, south is north and north is south in Crazytown. And the needle spins continually.

Today I want to talk about Lauren, the mystery doorbell woman. The video of a mystery woman ringing a doorbell after 3:00 AM one morning in a quiet neighborhood in Texas made headlines and went viral. She appeared distressed and had what looked to be restraints on her wrists. She was recently found and came forward with her story. This story has the telltale signs of domestic abuse, but also signs of narcissistic abuse. I say that, because of how she describes Dennis, her boyfriend, as a kind person until she woke up under attack that night. However, this was not his first sexual assault on a woman. Below I have listed a video and an article that goes into further detail of this case.

Dennis may or may not have been a narcissist, but there was something very wrong here. Labeling is not the important issue, but abuse awareness and how to escape a life threatening situation are important.
