Narcissistic Abuse is the Worst Form of Abuse. Here's why...

Narcissistic abuse is the worst form of abuse because it denies the victim their reality. It often accompanies the other forms of abuse, which are pretty horrible, in and of themselves. But the worst part of those still tends to be the denial and gaslighting about it, if you live to tell.

It is in the mental reliving and retelling that meta injury occurs and creates deep despair in the victim. Nothing worse than being at your lowest and being blamed, shamed and scapegoated. And it continues, no matter your efforts, creating a profound sense of helplessness and lack of safety.

It can fracture a psyche, and that’s the most challenging injury to live with. It separates one from themself and others, which is the exact opposite of what the human existence is to be about. It creates narcissism in a person, which makes them start to hate themselves as much as the narcissist of origin. This is fertile ground for denial and creation of fantasy.

If you think you are a victim of narcissistic abuse, DO NOT try to navigate it on your own or with just the information you get off the internet. It is a VERY serious and confusing condition and requires knowledge, an honest but kind mirror, and a support structure to work through. You will see it everywhere, once you really see it, and then you’ll realize why you need a few people around you who do too. You will learn to set boundaries and select who you let in, with intention and not out of habit.

My heart goes out to all suffering from this! If I could give you back your innocence, I would. But I would not reclaim mine. May I serve, instead.

Be what you want to see! With Love, Keya Diné
