Should We Forgive the Narcissist?
Is it possible to actually forgive this abusive personality?
Forgive the narcissist??!! I’m sure a few survivors of narcissistic abuse are shocked if not outraged. I get it. I’m right there with you. Especially since the narcissist in my life once refused to forgive me.
I remember sitting in the relationship counselor’s office in the infancy of our marital problems. My husband was angry because I told him I was lonely and dreamed of meeting someone who actually cared for me.
Our counselor said I was sharing my feelings.
My husband said I betrayed him.
Anger boiled within me. How dare this emotionally corrupt man who I had forgiven time and time again. Who made me cry until I had welts on my face. The nerve that simple words would bruise his fragile ego and leave me without a pardon.
The counselor looked at my then-husband and asked him if he was capable of forgiveness.
