Behind the Narcissist Mask

Going no contact with a narcissist…

isn’t the hardest part.

The hardest part is
missing someone
who never truly existed.

The hardest part wasn’t leaving.

It was accepting
that the person you loved
never existed
the way you believed they did.

That the version of them
you were fighting for…

was just a version
they created
to keep you attached.

And once you see it—
you can’t unsee it.
