It will definitely require some time and lots of effort to heal. A friend of mind was in same situation. She reached out to a few counsellors to finally heal herself, and now she is finally in a proper relationship with a respectful guy.
My advice would be – please reach out to therapists.
It will help you to try understand why you got involved with such a narcissist al all in the first place. It could be a result of some childhood trauma, some previous abusive relationship with a family member.
Maybe you had just seen someone close to you in such a relationship, and you absorbed it sub-consciously.
Professional help would be so helpful. Once healed, you will start to attract respectful, loving people as you will consciously start staying away from Narcissists.
This is such an important question for moving forward and healing. A relationship it with a narcissist is never a happy one. It makes us lonely and depressing. Acknowledging the emotional loneliness that existed in your marriage is important. Try thinking it that you are released from a role you never knew you were going to play. Now you are free. Your energy returns, emotional connections are easier and your vibe greatly increases. Try being you again I know it’s difficult but you can always try.
