PLEASE HELP WITH PHYSICALLY FLAWED!

This may seem a bit odd, but I am writing a journal about segments of my life to make sense of a past that is ALL CONNECTED. I believe my mother was an N, I had an N relationship, and all four of us children are codependents (empaths, caring, sensitive, putting others first, etc., everything an N isn't) She was a very COLD RAGING woman who was never wrong. My question is what is the main reason why our relationship Ns want us to believe we are PHYSICALLY FLAWED!

Have a look here. Lots of explanations and help. http://www.voicelessness.com/images/img0424.gif An abuser will say anything, even if it isn't true. Abuse is intended to hurt. Take care Hermes

Referral link to Dr. Grossman's Website

Thanks Hermes. I am aware now how our childhood effects every furture relationship we have and how important it is to evaluate ones childhood to get answers. That's exactly what happened to me with my repressed memory of N. I am very fortunate NOW to understand what went on in my home as a child, why it happened and why both my N. and my husband sought me out. It is a classic case. Although my husbands Narcissism is present in a manageable way, he has much empathy and is very generous, just a little grandiose when it come to business. He is extremely intimate and affectionate and he definitely loves me. I just have to be a few steps ahead of him sometimes and bring him back to reality. I assumed it was the essays section of Dr. Grossman's site you were were referring since there aren't any images.

Hello RM: No there are no images on that page, but I think it appears in the link as "images" because of the greenish frame around the pages of the essays. I think it is only fairly recently that these FOO issues are being looked at in a hard light. You know how it is - the family being seen as untouchable and sacred. I am so glad you are now in a good relationship. Best to you Hermes

Because when they look at us,

Because when they look at us, they see themselves, and they drain us of our goodness because it is what they crave. Narc #2, critisized me, corrected me, made me feel stupid, made me unsure of myself, made me feel like I was crazy. He morphed into me and left me with with his crippled soul. I realized I had become him, and he rode off into the sunset with my soul. I got it back though..............and he is crippled again, I am sure of it. I expect to hear from him again in the future sometime. But he will never have the pleasure of speaking to me again. I will never grace him with my presence. His loss, my gain. Take a good hard look at yourself, evaluate yourself, be truthful to yourself. You are NOT any of the things he tried to tell you that you are. He is..................

THANK YOU SPARROW!

I lived a difficult childhood, my siblings and myself, which made us who were were: codependent empaths. My N saw this in me. It was like a moth to light. But he was very insecure, always needing reassurances. I just didn't understand why he was insulting like he was? He would get others to do his evil bidding so I wouldn't be mad at him for calling me names like a school boy in the school yard. I eventually had RHINOPLASTY because I never forgot the hurt it had caused me. But what you are saying makes the most sense since he saw NOT ONLY how other men were LUSTING for me, but how GIVING and CARING I was about others, putting myself last, etc. I even think in the future he started copying me. He wanted to be me! If I only knew what I know now back then. I repressed my memories for 25 years like those people you read about or see in television dramas, where they wake up one morning and have flashes of abuse in their tramatic past. That really happens! But I'm glad it did so I can reflect now about EVVERYTHING in my childhood, young womanhood, etc., and I'm at a place now that is SSSOOO HEALTHY. Thank you.

Physical insecurity

My N made me feel like my body was not good enough for him. Ironic, he was the smallest I had ever seen. Don't want to be crass, sure you can figure out what I'm referring to.

Did we date the same Mr. Teeny Weenie?

His unit ws pretty dysfunctional in terms of length. Sex was a struggle. As long as wedding move, it stayed put, but if we moved apart at all, it fell out. He had even gone to see a doctor about his penis because he was afraid something was medically wrong. Also, he was covered in big moles and was only average-looking. I never felt looks were important and NEVER once criticized him in any way. I would never do that to someone. He, otoh, constantly criticized me. One boob was bigger than the other (its not), my fingernails needed polishing, I ate too much (weighed under 120), I shouldn't wear that color eyeliner, etc, etc. It hurt and he knew it. And there's the rub. If it didn't bother me to be criticized, he probably wouldn't have done it. I saw some pics of his wife online. I noticed that she was not flawless, either. She must have a thicker skin than me because she's still standing after all these years. God love her.

HOW CLASSIC

That's probably why he was making you feel that way because of his small P***S. And that's why mine did the same. The only thing mine didn't know was that I thought he was PERFECT physically because I thought he was someone else mentally. It was a package deal. When the masked slipped off, that is the only time I judged him physically, and because he became ugly on the inside, the outside was now ugly.

My ex made me feel the same about my body

He told me I have small boobs, but I don't (Before I met him I almost have a surgery to make them smaller because of the pain in my back and neck)My boobs are bigger than every other girl's he knows and now I have a big trauma with them thinking they should be bigger. Stupid narc!
