My narcissist is begging me and the kids to come home. What should I do?

-
So the question is…. My narcissist is begging me and the kids to come home. What should I do?  My answer is going to come from a place of love, from my experience, and the education I’ve learned around this topic. In the end, it’s my opinion and you need to make the choice for yourself. So, my answer to this is….  I’m sure you already know how nasty and how manipulative narcissist can be which is why you have identified him as a narcissist in the first place and that means at the very least, we can call that relationship toxic.  You deserve better, and I think you are starting to realize that since you are asking this question. It can be confusing because of how the abuse affects us. But you deserve better, and if you don’t realize that fully, that’s okay, I didn’t either. But you have to step away from that relationship.

Since it has always been such a consistent part of our waking lives, most of us do not even realize it is there. Our inner dialogue controls everything we do. It shapes our perception, makes decisions for us, cautions us, forms our values and opinions, tells us who we are and what we like, monitors our behavior, evaluates situations, and makes judgments. When our inner dialogue is positive, it empowers us. When our inner dialogue is negative it discourages us. Negative dialogue forms limiting beliefs.
