If it hurts so much… why is it still so hard to leave?”
That’s the question so many people ask when they’re trapped in a narcissistic relationship. And the truth is heartbreaking:
Leaving isn’t hard because you’re weak.
It’s hard because you’ve been conditioned to survive a cycle of hope, fear, and emotional confusion. 💔
Trauma bonding, gaslighting, love-bombing, and intermittent affection can rewire your nervous system. They make you question yourself, second-guess your instincts, and hold onto moments of connection that feel rare but powerful.
If you’re feeling stuck, torn, or unable to break away… what you’re experiencing is a normal response to a deeply abnormal relationship dynamic.
And you don’t have to face it alone.
