Author’s Note:  Why did I write this short story? Narcissistic abuse is not ok. Narcissistic abuse is a term I discovered during my recovery once I removed myself from the presence of an evil controlling partner. It came at a great cost; I nearly lost my life in the process. I want to share my experience, my emotions, my life in a snapshot. I want this to help those who feel trapped find a way out. We will call him, “Jay.” He is a grand master at manipulation, I witnessed some extraordinary events and suffered silently for many years under his wraith of terror and the support of his flying monkeys. Over time, he managed to keep me from my family, to convince me that he was the only person I would ever need. Narcissistic people are patient, they mold you into absolutely nothing, destroy your insides, and tear you apart piece by piece. They enjoy watching you cry, beg, and suffer. Remember! No one has stay; you can get out! No amount of property, money, or diamonds is worth staying only to lose yourself in the midst of evil behavior. Especially, a family who thrives and steals from others to fake success and take full credit are silent thieves. No abuse is acceptable. Seek professional help! Do not let anyone stand in your way if possible. Say something! Speak Up! The hardest step to take is your first step into salvation. And only you can make that decision when ready. Once you walk away, divorce or leave peacefully: The best advice I can offer is, “NEVER LOOK BACK!”

I’m a narcissistic welder and I like everything my way. I’m just a short story for those women out there that don’t know me yet. I know I’m hot, I know how to trot so I can turn women into a knot. I’m all about image and status, but it gives me pleasure to watch you burn down slowly like an apparatus. You cannot be better than me, you cannot be free I’ll keep you close, my eye on you, without real love and peace

I love bomb you to make you mine, I’m fake, but sublime so I can steal your shine. I’m a little hard to spot at first, but as I lure you in, I will increase your thirst. I give tender lovin’ care, everything will seem fair at first. I surround myself with flying monkeys because they think like donkeys. They are easy to fool and side with me no matter the storm.

I’ll use you like a welding device. I’ll assemble you and dissemble you more than thrice. As a narcissist, I’m all about supply. Remember your place or you will be decried. I’ll gaslight you right under your nose. I’ll play the victim because it’s one of my greatest roles.

Women are like welding devices. You can turn them on or off by using them precise. I’ll cheat, I’ll lie, and manipulate. By the time you realize it’s too late. I’ll trick you into taking your self-esteem, self-worth, your job, and most importantly your money, you won’t see it coming.

I’ll manipulate your mind. You’ll be brainwashed over time. I’ll destroy your soul and toss you to the curb like coal. I’ll strip your personality and fill you with calamity. I’ll control your every move because I’ll enjoy watching you lose.
