Abuse does not always yield bruises or scars, sometimes the effects are more like emotional prison bars. Narcissistic Abuse makes your mind feel trapped, by painful memories and words as if your soul was physically slapped. The damage has been done and it is hard to fight the lies, that were imbedded in your head instead you are traumatized. I know how it feels I have always dealt with this type of pain, But between you and me, I still get lost trying to win this never ending game.
