The Toxic #Narcissist Cycle of Abuse: 5 Stages Thread
Stage 1:
Love Bombing & Lying:
Your #abuser lies to you from the start, convincing them-self/selves & YOU that you are liked, included, adored, loved & respected. Your #boundaries are respected & you are overly welcomed
In this phase, you will put on their ‘glasses’, be overmedicated on their empty promises, #future faking, deception & lies 👉🏻 all leading to fake #hopeism. They make you wear their glasses whereby you ‘view’ them as from #heaven & ‘saving you’, being ‘right’ or on the right side

Right at the beginning of the relationship, which I now know to be what is known as #lovebombing - that phase where they put you on a pedestal and shower you with love and attention - he made me a cake.

He told me he had never made anyone a cake before, because he had never loved anyone enough to even want to try.
He wanted to do MORE than just buy me a cake, which is what he said everyone did.

He wanted to MAKE me a cake. For my birthday.

With his own hands.
He didn’t even own a wooden spoon, a spatula, a mixing bowl or cake tins.

He bought them all from the lovely cook shop selling fancy bakeware.

The trouble with #coercivecontrol is that I didn’t recognise the red flags 🚩🚩right at the start.

I didn’t recognise the earliest signs of control- like him telling me I don’t need to drink coffee because it wasn’t good for me.

I mistook that as a sign that he cared.

#coercivecontrol
I didn’t recognise it as a red flag when he told me he wasn’t close to his kids and felt closer to mine and loved them so much more.

I only saw that he thought my kids were amazing- not that he was disparaging of his.
