„If you have experiences #emotionalabuse you were a TARGET, a VICTIM and you are a SURVIVOR.
🖤
The word „victim“ can bring up reactions in people, because we are warned against having a „victim mentality“ but the truth is you were a victim. This doesn’t mean that this needs to be a cloud that follows you the rest of your life. You were a person who was harmed. That is the direct definition of a #victimofabuse
🖤
You were also a #narcissisttarget as hard as that is to believe and accept. #covertnarcissist s seek out certain types of people.They look for people who are kind, authentic, self-reflective, nurturing, loving and caring people with a conscience.They look for energy supplies.Without these attributes the #narcissist has no use for you, and their #manipulativetactics (to controll you) wouldn’t work on you
🖤
You are also a survivor You experienced subtle, manipulative emotional abuse and you are still here. Many people come out of these relationships not wanting to be here anymore after years of emotionally beaten down.So the fact that you are still here, getting up every morning is something to be recognized and commended. You are a #survivorofabuse You are stronger than you know. Welcome to the beginning of your freedom.“ @debbiemirza
