Love yourself enough to leave...
The first time he tells a lie.
Love yourself enough to leave...
The first time his eyes fall upon the woman at work with lust.
Love yourself enough to leave...
The first time he steals the paintbrush from your hand and tells you he does it better.
Love yourself enough to leave...
The first time he criticizes your singing voice, because he'll do it over and over until you no longer sing.
Love yourself enough to leave...
The first time he screams and yells at you, because each time after becomes easier for him and harder for you.
Love yourself enough to leave...
The first time he tells you to go find another man, and then apologizes. Know that he really did mean it.
Love yourself enough to leave...
The first time he tells you about all the other women, because he's just letting you know how little you mean to him.
Love yourself enough to leave...
When he doesn't see your tears, because it shows that your breaking heart means nothing to him.
Love yourself enough to leave...
When he refuses to work a job to makes ends meet, because he is proving that he is not a responsible man.
Love yourself enough to leave...
When he tells you that you are the only one he's ever treated this way, because it shows yet again that you are unimportant to him.
Love yourself enough to leave...
Regardless of the apologies, because the ring around the rosy of the unrepentant repenter, will surely never end.
Love yourself enough to leave...
The first time he sabotages who you are to make himself the good guy, the victor in his sick game of manipulation.
Love yourself enough to leave...
When he says forgive me seventy times seven, but keeps on sinning, because you will run out of hope one day.
Love yourself enough to leave...
When he calls you a gentle little lamb, while he is being the big bad wolf.
Love yourself enough to leave..
When his words say I love you, but his actions are the opposite, because the confusion will spiral into continued chaos and trauma.
Love yourself enough to leave...
Even though family or friends think he's a nice guy, but you know the other side.
Love yourself enough to leave...
When you've been in it too long and you feel like you can't go on because he won't miss you. He won't care. He never, ever did.
Love yourself enough to leave...
Because you are worthy of so much more than you have received and you've only been a stepping stone under his feet, as he stole your soul, your identity.
Love yourself enough to leave.
Love yourself enough to leave.
Love yourself enough to leave.
And fall into the arms of Jesus.
Fall into the arms of the one who loves you the Most.
Love yourself enough to leave...
And learn to live again... ❤️.
My prayer for today...
May every person living in a troubled, narcissistic relationship... fall into the arms of Jesus and receive Truth, love and acceptance. We are worthy of the greatest love. Thank you, Jesus.
Amen.
