Yup know your worth! Make an ick list of everything they did or what you remember. Go to that list when you want to text back. Whatever you want to text them text it to a friend or type it in your notes. Intrusive thoughts aren’t failures, they’re checkpoints.You’re not weak for thinking about them. You’re healing. Every time you don’t respond or reach out, you’re saying I matter more. Narcs do not care and don’t change, they just wear mask until it slips
Reflect back on all the awful and horrible things he’s probably said and done to you. Here’s the thing I realized with my narcissistic ex… It didn’t necessarily make him a horrible person. We had some amazing times together. But amazing times will never make up for emotional abuse, or other kinds of abuse. It will never fix it. And men don’t seem very interested in fixing themselves these days.
Know your worth!! Protect you and your peace at all costs. Tell yourself you deserve better! Find someone to text instead of him if you have the urge to text or call him.
