Letter To All The Female Narcissists 2

โ€œFemale narcissists try to destroy and discredit anyone who sees them for who they really are. They know that anyone who sees through their mask could expose them, so they stop at nothing to make sure it doesnโ€™t happen.โ€ โ€“ Unknown

Dear Female Narcissists and Manipulators,

I am the woman who will come after you. Make no mistake. I am not your runner-up or the consolation prize. I am in a league all my ownโ€“not your pinch hitter or relief pitcher. Iโ€™m not holding your spot in line. I may not have created this path of destruction, but I am, however, the woman who will have to help clean up the mess. You most likely left a good person; after all, why would they have stayed so long and tried so hard to make your โ€œrelationshipโ€ work?

Look, I get it. The end of a relationship is never easy. Whether you have been with someone six months or sixteen years, ending a relationship is painful and unsettling. I have been through many relationships and experienced heartbreak. Although narcissists such as yourself cannot feel true love, you may be feeling pain and confusion.

This isnโ€™tย griefย you are feeling at losing a good person.ย What you are feeling isย angerย at such a horrible inconvenience. Your personal sideline cheerleader, purse-holder, coat-fetcher, scapegoat, punching bag, house cleaner, babysitter, nanny, chef, bill payer, bank account, ego booster, valet service, or other-service-provider is now gone. You arenโ€™t losing a best friend, partner, or lover: you are losing a supply of service. Donโ€™t confuse your demanded entitlement for feelings of love for another.

The man you abused? He served a purpose for you.

And yes, I use the word โ€œabused.โ€ย Society tends to forget that men can be abused just as easily and frequently as women. Women can be abusers, and men can be victims. You may have professed to love this man, but really you were using him.

You probably got to check off all the boxes on societyโ€™s to-do list: girlfriend, fiancรฉ, wife, mother, but this may not have fulfilled you. So, you took yourย self-hatredย and bottom-of-the-barrelย self-esteemย out on him through name-calling andย projection.

Narcissists and manipulators are just overgrown, schoolyard bullies.ย They feel bad about themselves, so they attack other people. But unlike immature children, grown-up bullies hide their cruelness behind a shiny veneer that other people fall for. The inhumanity of aย narcissistย is covered by talent and lies. Who would believe this mild-mannered, smiling, doting mother would also be the one screaming at her husband (behind closed doors, of course) that he was a horrible father and poor excuse for a human?

I am the woman who will come after you. I will be the one dealing with the repercussions of the legal paperwork, custody disputes, and money wrangling. I will be the one watching and standing helplessly by as your constant attacks tear down this man who struggled to build his life up from scratch. I will be the one who will try every day to convince him that there really is love and goodness in this world, that I donโ€™t want anything from him, and that I am not going to pull the rug out from under him.

Your purpose was destruction; mine is growth and healing.ย Unfortunately, the path to healing runs parallel to and often intersects withย trauma. Itโ€™s going to take a long time, but luckily, my stubbornness is tempered with understanding.

I know I am also going to have to deal with your manipulation. You probably have my phone number saved, my email address in your outbox, my social media profile cued up to stalk every single day. Once your attacks wear my man down, you will turn your vitriol onto me; Iโ€™m expecting it. You will take messages out of context; you will attempt to seduce him; you will use the children as weapons or pawns to turn me into the villain of the story. Eventually, people will see that the true villain is you.

Chances are you are an excellent actress. You can easily switch between demon and angel, good cop and bad cop, Jekyll, and Hyde. Your masks are interchangeable and so quick to fool others, your ex included. This confuses your ex-partner, and you capitalize on that. Making empty promises to โ€œwork together for the kidsโ€ or claiming you will change for the better (with your fingers crossed behind your back) reminding him of the woman he fell in love with. All that does is make him vulnerable for feeding into your unrelenting cycle of destruction.

You donโ€™t love him; you love the joy that comes from his pain and how you benefit from it.ย But, unfortunately, you probably have everyone else fooled, too. People probably believe that he was the one cheating, he was the one screaming at you, he was the one making your life a living hell. Crocodile tears are beneficial when creating a narrative of the wronged, long-suffering wife; who would believe you were the one doling out the insults and projecting your self-hatred onto him?

I am the woman who is everything you cannot be, and so I know you will try and break me, too. So please, save us all some time and find a new supplier who will fill all those needy spots your ex once did.

Cash in your chips. Call it a loss.ย Walk away from the table when your hand comes up as losing. Then, go ahead and weave a sad story that makes you the damsel in distress and not the bitter queen; you will find someone else to believe you and fall under your spell.

I am the woman who will come after you. I am the woman that will cause the man you broke to forget you.ย I am the woman who will enjoy the man when he wakes up as the person he was always meant to be, and you attempted to ruin. One day, you will fade from hisย memory. I might not stay with him forever, or I may be his great love; either way, I was the one who ripped off your mask.

Sincerely,

The Woman After You
