How One Call Shook Me + the Tools That Help Me Heal<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">[April 6, 2025]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Yesterday threw me off\u2014hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">I wanted to share this in case anyone out there has had a similar experience, especially if you&#8217;ve dealt with a narcissistic or emotionally abusive person in your life. Whether it was a family member, a relationship, or a co-parent&#8230; if you know, you <em>know<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">For me, it was an eight-year relationship with a narcissist. It was the darkest period of my life, and walking away was just the beginning of a long, grueling healing process. What made things more complicated? We had a child together. That meant going completely no-contact wasn\u2019t an option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">So over the last eight years, I&#8217;ve had to be <em>very<\/em> intentional with communication. You can\u2019t communicate with a narcissist like you would with anyone else\u2014<em><strong>it has to be strategic and emotionally detached. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">I studied, learned, and practiced until it became second nature. Over time, things got better. He matured a bit (<em>or maybe just realized he couldn\u2019t get supply from me anymore<\/em>), and our interactions became more manageable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">For the last two or three years, it&#8217;s actually been rather&#8230; peaceful.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">He\u2019s been in a new relationship, had another child, and as far as I could tell, had stepped up a bit as a dad. Our communication had dropped to nearly zero. My son, now older and with a phone, coordinates pickups and drop-offs himself. We even have a door cam, so I don\u2019t have to see or speak to his father when he comes around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">That used to give me <em>so<\/em> much anxiety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">But lately? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>I\u2019ve felt\u2026 calm. Safe, even.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><em>Until yesterday.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"is-style-dots wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">I\u2019m currently in Colorado, visiting my boyfriend for the week. I made all the proper arrangements before leaving\u2014my teenaged son was going to be with family, well taken care of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">I didn\u2019t feel the need to inform his father. He only has him every other weekend (<em>if that<\/em>), and this trip did not overlap with his scheduled time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">But when he called our son yesterday and found out he couldn\u2019t attend some event he wanted to take him to, he snapped. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong><em>Classic tantrum. Classic manipulation.<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Suddenly, I\u2019m back in that storm\u2014being blamed, gaslit, and condescended to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">He started making random accusations and stirring up irrelevant issues\u2014just to regain control. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">This man who goes on trips whenever he wants, leaves our son with his parents or cousins all the time, suddenly had a <em>problem<\/em> because I took a trip?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">It\u2019s always a one-way street with a narcissist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>They don\u2019t play by the rules<\/strong>\u2014<em> not even the rules that they create!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">No matter how long it\u2019s been, no matter how much healing you\u2019ve done, one trigger can transport you right back to the worst of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">That five-minute phone call sent my body into full-on fight-or-flight mode. My nervous system was shot for the rest of the day. It brought back memories, emotions, and pain. All of it. I was so angry, so discouraged. I thought I was <em>past<\/em> this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">But healing isn\u2019t linear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">And when someone hasn\u2019t experienced this kind of abuse firsthand, they might not understand why it affects us so deeply. My boyfriend, supportive as he is, tried to help by saying, <em>\u201cDon\u2019t let it get to you.\u201d \u201cScrew that guy.\u201d <\/em>etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">But if you\u2019ve lived it\u2014you know\u2014it\u2019s just not that simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">I realized I was deeply disappointed in myself. I wasn\u2019t on my A-game! I said more than I should\u2019ve. I felt like I lost my peace in that little interaction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>But here\u2019s the thing<\/strong>: I <em>am<\/em> stronger now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">I\u2019m not who I was back then. He doesn\u2019t control me. He can\u2019t hurt me. I have tools, habits, and a connection to God that ground me\u2014even when my body\u2019s nervous system is freaking the heck out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">I didn\u2019t use all those tools yesterday, but I\u2019m reminding myself of them now:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Tapping meditations<\/strong> \u2013 So quick, so easy, so <em>powerful<\/em>. I used to do them regularly and plan to get back to that.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Silent meditation and prayer<\/strong> \u2013 Just sitting with God, being still, and remembering that everything is always working for my highest good.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Gratitude<\/strong> \u2013 I started saying out loud what I was grateful for. My body. My life. My relationship with God. Studies show the part of the brain activated by fear is the same one activated by gratitude\u2014which means we can\u2019t feel both at the same time. <strong><em>Gratitude essentially dissolves anxiety.<\/em><\/strong><br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"is-style-wide wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">I may have been shaken yesterday, but I\u2019m coming back to myself. Stronger. Wiser. And more aware of just how far I\u2019ve come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">If you\u2019ve been through anything like this, I want you to know\u2014you\u2019re not alone. It\u2019s okay if the past still catches you off guard sometimes. What matters is that we have the tools now. We know how to come back to peace. We know who we are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">And we know we\u2019re not going back. &#x1f4aa;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:89px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Triggered by a Narcissist?
