Hi, it's Juliana! They ruin your mental health. Then act disgusted with you for struggling. But this isn't them just being mean. They're protecting their image. Why? They don't want people to see them in a negative light. They always want to be seen in a positive light or as the victim. So when they treat you the way they do and your mental health starts to decline... The question becomes: Why? Why is your mental health declining? They can't admit it's because of how they've treated you. Because then they'd be seen in a negative light. So they flip it. Instead of: "Your mental health is declining because of how I've treated you." It's: "Your mental health is declining because there's something wrong with you." Maybe it's because you're: • Lazy. • Crazy. • Pathetic. The lies they come up with are different for everyone. But the goal is always the same: They want you to believe you're struggling because of who you are. Not because of what they've been doing to you. So you blame yourself instead of them. If you need someone to talk to about all of this, you can always send me a DM or schedule a session with me. My team and I help people heal from narcissistic abuse, and many of us have experienced it ourselves, so we're here if you need us. To your healing, Juliana ❤️🩹
