**Closure For Survivors Of Narcissistic Abuse**

Please do not let these things keep you stuck. You *can* move forward — even if the narcissist never gives you an apology, never acknowledges the harm they caused, and continues to twist the narrative. You are not crazy. The confusion and emotional chaos you experienced were *not* because of who you are — they were the result of deliberate gaslighting, manipulation, and psychological warfare.

Narcissists are skilled at making their victims feel like the problem. They chip away at your self-worth until you no longer trust your own perception. You question everything: your emotions, your memories, your instincts. This isn’t weakness — this is what happens when someone intentionally undermines your reality over time. You are not stupid, naïve, or weak. You simply didn’t know people like this existed — people who *deliberately* weaponize love, trust, and vulnerability.

Narcissists devalue you because they fear your strength. They want you to feel small so they can feel powerful. But that illusion only works if *you believe it*. So let’s be clear: their words do *not* define you. You are not too emotional. You are not unlovable. You are not responsible for fixing someone who refuses to admit they are broken. You are a whole, worthy, beautiful soul — and you always were.

Closure will never come from the narcissist. It comes from *you*. It comes when you finally accept that the relationship was not real in the way you hoped it was. It comes when you stop waiting for them to change, apologize, or admit the truth. It comes when you decide that their dysfunction is no longer yours to carry.

And know this: they won’t be better for the next person. Without deep self-awareness and consistent work (which most narcissists never attempt), they repeat the same cycle with new victims. Their next partner is not special — just unsuspecting. That’s not your burden to bear.

You survived what was meant to destroy you. That is your closure. That is your power. And your healing is the ultimate form of justice.
