Number 2: The Test of Being Unseen.
No one saw what was being done to you. Not really. Maybe they saw the narcissist charm. Maybe they saw their feigned kindness. Maybe they beheld their perfectly built facade, but they did not behold you, did they? They did not see the nights you wept yourself into bed. They did not hear the terror in your eyes when you heard their footsteps. They did not see the silent, unseen war you fought every single day. The worst of it is, that even when you fought to be heard, they still did not believe you. They minimized it, they apologized for it, and they blamed you.
So you learned to keep quiet. You learned to endure it alone, and that loneliness nearly destroyed you. This test was brutal in reality. It made you question yourself. It made you think that you didn’t matter, but that was the illusion. Because God saw. He saw everything. He saw all of the tears. He heard all the screams that were never heard, and he knew. He knew you would wake up. He knew you would stand tall one day in your truth. And when you did, nothing would ever be able to make you feel invisible again. The path that you are on is a path of awareness, of awakening.
You have been blessed with strength that makes you very dangerous to all narcissists everywhere. What is this strength? The strength is that you fear not your presence. You are an awakened empath. You don’t flee from loneliness. You embrace it instead. You crave it and even crave it more than connection sometimes. You’re a master of self-autonomy, and that narcissist has no tool to play with.
Number 3: The test of betrayal by ones you loved so dear.
The abuse was so painful, but that wasn’t the worst, was it? The worst was the individuals who betrayed you the friends that stood not with you, the family that stood against you, the ones who gazed into your eyes and stated that you were the issue. You lied. You were unjustly condemning them. You learned the hard lesson of your life: love does not equate to loyalty.
You were harshly reminded that there are snakes everywhere in your life, but why? To make everything easy for you to ditch the burden. You had to learn to understand that some individuals would never be with you, regardless of the sacrifices you are making for them. Others would betray you just to maintain their peace, such as my mother eventually did.
