A Letter to the Narcissist Who Destroyed Me
Dear Narcissist,
I have sat with this letter for a long time, trying to find the right words to express the depth of my pain and the extent of the damage you have caused. It’s not easy to put into words the feeling of being shattered, of having my soul torn apart by someone who was supposed to be my confidant, my protector, and my closest friend. But I have come to realize that in order to heal, I must confront the truth and acknowledge the pain you have inflicted upon me.
You may not remember, but you were once someone I trusted implicitly. You were the one who promised to love me unconditionally, to support me through thick and thin. You were the one who made me believe that we were destined to be together, that our love was indestructible. But as time went on, I began to see the cracks in your facade, the darkness behind your charming smile. You were a master of manipulation, a con artist who preyed on my vulnerabilities, using my love as a tool to control and exploit me.
Remember how you made me feel special, how you told me that I was the only one who understood you? That was a lie. You were the only one who understood how to manipulate and control, and I was the one who fell for it. You used my kindness and compassion against me, turning them into weapons that wounded me deeply. You made me believe that I was the problem, that I needed to change, when in reality, it was you who needed to change.
But I am not the one who needs to change. I am the one who has learned from this experience, who has grown stronger and more resilient. I have learned that love is not about being loved in return, but about loving unconditionally. I have learned that true strength lies in forgiving those who have hurt us, even when it is difficult to do so. And I have learned that my worth is not determined by someone else’s actions, but by my own values and beliefs.
So, as I close this letter, I want you to know that you have lost more than just my love. You have lost my trust, my respect, and my friendship. You have lost a part of me that will never be the same. But I have gained something far more valuable: the knowledge that I am capable of healing, of moving forward, and of finding happiness again. And for that, I am grateful.
With love and strength,
Your Former Friend
