Take the Course: Finding Your W.H.Y! Healing From Narcissistic Abuse

This video breaks down why narcissistic partners emotionally withdraw, give the silent treatment, and create a “roommate” dynamic to control and exhaust you. Learn how this affects your mental health, your children, and your self-worth and what you can do to protect your peace and plan your next steps.

I'm Lee & I've been diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder ( NPD ). I've been in therapy since 2017 & It has definitely changed my life because without it, I would have lost everything. My platform is dedicated to giving you the WHYs behind the things that Narcissists do. I'm not here to diagnose ANYONE or to tell you to leave your relationship. I'm just trying to give you the information to make your own informed decisions

| 0:15.4 | Sometimes you end up living like a roommate with a narcissist that you're in a relationship with or that you're |
| 0:21.8 | married to. I know it can blow a lot of people's minds, right? When you're living like a roommate |
| 0:27.3 | with somebody that you're supposed to love and care about and be like, uh, married to. Like, |
| 0:34.1 | imagine being married to someone that doesn't talk to you, married to someone that doesn't interact with you, that doesn't touch you, that doesn't tell you that they love you, they act, that y'all, they just act like they don't care about you at all. |

| 0:51.6 | Of course, if you're new here, my name is Lee Hammack. |
| 0:53.7 | I'm a diagnosed narcissist. Here to give you the perspective of a narcissist, y'all. Let me go hop right into it. And I hope this video brings you some clarity because I get a lot, yeah, I'm serious. I get a lot of this when I'm talking to people over Zoom, 101's still available, Mental Healthness.net. I get a lot of people to say, hey Lee, in the last few weeks, last few months, last few years of my relationship with my partner is like we're a roommate. Like we don't connect anymore, we don't talk anymore, we don't do anything anymore, it's just like we don't, pretty much we don't exist to |
| 1:27.7 | each other. I was just like, damn, what? And that can be tough. It can be tough being in the household with somebody that is not interacting with you that says that, hey, I love you, I care about you. I just not doing this. I'm just not doing that. That could be a very tough thing to deal with, right? And I say that to people all the time. |
| 1:46.1 | Like if you're living like a roommate with this person, it might be it better to live by itself. |
| 1:51.7 | You know what I mean? I know everybody's kids just can't up and leave and I know everybody doesn't want to leave because of family dynamics, kids, schools, all this other stuff, money, whatever it is. |
| 2:00.4 | I know everybody can't just up and leave but if you already live in like roommates you probably |
| 2:04.4 | should just be by yourself you know I mean because narcissistic people would |
| 2:09.5 | rather have you there and not with anybody else then to like they would rather have |
| 2:17.1 | you there with them and not with anybody else |
| 2:19.7 | than to, for them to be by themselves. |
| 2:22.3 | That's the truth. |
| 2:23.2 | And the crazy thing by it is, y'all, when you're living like a roommate with that narcissist, |
| 2:26.3 | they might try to torture you emotionally. |
