Listen "The Cluster B Con"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textIn today's podcast, I delve into the emotional challenges I’ve faced in relationships with partners who exhibit Cluster B personality disorders, such as borderline personality disorder, narcissism, and psychopathy. I know firsthand how easy it is to stay in these unhealthy dynamics, fueled by the hope that things might change through our own efforts, even when we recognize how detrimental they truly are. Drawing from my 24-year journey, I’ve come to realize that despite significant investment, positive change often remains elusive, leaving us caught in a painful cycle of confusion and hurt.I reflect on the complexities of recognizing when a relationship is no longer serving me. I understand how challenging it can be to take external advice to leave, especially when personal circumstances make it feel impossible. I’ve experienced neglect and emotional apathy rather than outright physical abuse, which makes it crucial to evaluate how we are treated and to question whether genuine love can coexist with negative behaviors. I’ve been caught in cycles of love bombing and dramatic ups and downs, and I’ve ultimately learned that true care cannot thrive alongside poor treatment.Looking back, I feel a deep sense of regret for not recognizing these harmful patterns sooner. It’s incredibly difficult to differentiate between love and manipulation when you’re deeply invested. My experiences have taught me that true love should never involve abuse. I want to share these insights with others like you, who may find themselves in similar situations. I encourage you to value your self-worth, make healthier choices, and understand that love should not come with pain or mistreatment. It’s so important to believe in ourselves and to be aware of the dynamics at play in our relationships. Be at peace!Support the show
