• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Narcissistic Abuse Victim Trying to Survive

hi,

i want to write a lot and in clear sentences and all, but all the support i have had thus far (until I met Norman today) for the past six months has been online and honestly, and without trying to curse, i am freakin dead tired of online support. Even the crisis psychiatrists are telling me to find and create a support network for in person support.

My ex who abused me for 13 years with narcissistic type behaviors stole my daughter through her own delusional paranoid lies 9/9/2018. There are no court orders and she has also withheld her from school and medical appointments. I don't need advise for CPS or Atty for divorce. That is all in the works already.

But what i do need is some people in San Diego area (Mira Mesa preferred) who can actually meet face to face, lay hands on me, pray for me for deliverance, peace, joy in the intently painful situation I am in. Preferably with personal experience in the issues I am facing with abusive spouses. Women can be quite vicious abusers too - just talking from current experience.

I suffer PTSD, CPTSD, and have been (wrongfully?) diagnosed with IED. My reactions are only when provoked by abusive behaviors that cause dissociation, i throw things. When faced a choice between hitting her and throwing something i choose to not go the jail route. And I have never actually struck anyone in anger in my life. I don't intend to start with that.

I have been called to ministry, which she has essentially and nearly stripped all desire from me to perform through isolation and spiritual abuse. Glory be to God I made an opportunity to talk about my ministry with someone today, and I actually started feeling "intoxicated" down to the face numbness while talking about it with this fine man.

There is another person who received an identical call to ministry between two calls (smaller detail followed by larger detail) of insight I had received over the years.

My ex had isolated me from every aspect of my life. I am currently living in a relatively isolated manner, however i am starting to reach back out. But I need a local support system. I know this sound weird and all, but I am willing to meet at anywhere in San Diego to establish a good, strong Christian support system, who can help me through the abuse, the divorce, and help me understand the ministry call more, perhaps even join in the work.

I am desperately alone. Please respond by IM if you want to reach out to this desperately hurting man, and give him a call, or let him call you to begin.

Please, in the name of Jesus. I just need prayer, emotional, and spiritual support - in person.

I will be happy to pray in agreement with whatever y'all post. I don't intend to reply in writing on this chain, however. Only in IM with opportunity for phone or in person contact at a church or something. Only trying to do what the professionals want me to do. (GOD I HATE ONLINE)

Hi,

I'm afraid I'm nowhere near you (Australia, actually), but just want to let you know that I've read this and am praying for you.

This might sound silly or obvious, but have you thought about just contacting a minister near you? I'm sure someone would be willing to come and see you, and pray with you. I know I would, if I had a request like that.

God be with you!

That's atrocious. :(
I seem to have found something here yesterday - someone - and a church - some theology disagreement, but good, Christian men helping to emotionally support.

So far it is good. Am thinking of companion pet for PTSD.

My mother, sisters and I have suffered many years because of my delusional father. We finally escaped him when my mother divorced him. Yet somehow through all the abuse, the courts were in HIS FAVOR. Now my mother has to pay him over $700 in alimony each month all because the courts didn't believe her about his abuse. They barely investigated our home.

I know how you feel about abuse and unfair treatment.

My Lord ,I have spent years with the trauma you speak of.
My Baby girl who is now 23 was the weapon to cause great pain.
I know the cruelty, the got ya and that creepy smirk..
I have been no contact for years now and remaired to a great loving woman 8 1/2 years ago.
I'm here to say I know, I feel the hurt you have,and if not By God's goodness I would not have survived.
Malignant Narrissisist are so cruel most people can not believe what you have gone though.
I will Pray in agreement with you,because I know God will deliver you.
You have my support,and the power of Christ Jesus to remove this pain.

Glad to hear!
Update for you - you won't like it.

I'm done with churches. Turned away by at least four or five. Either my life is too complicated, or they don't even want to spend one moment talking about my ministry call.

The Lord still has me though. :)

I know they are condensencing when it comes to divorce, I was snubbed badly.
I thought, you people have no Idea of what I have to deal with.

Thank God I found a no denominations Church who does not put their nose in what they do not understand.
They accept
us with the love of Christ and I never had to explain anything.
We give God praise and worship ,listen to the sermon, and have no worries about someone judging us.
Some Churches are like the monsters we have been set free from, they want all you have and to controll everything you do.

God is my Judge and everyone else's.

The Hardest thing we have before us is to forgive.
Yet in forgiveness is the freedom we so desire, from our memories and what is happening today.
I am no contact.
But have some how forgiven, and now God blesses me with victory ever time my tormentor brings a attack.
