What's a " break no contact?"

@SW-User The best way to stop a narcissist hurting and confusing you and to get on with a productive life is to have absolutely no contact with them,but narcissists knowing that they are losing control over you will try their best to get back in contact with you and Break your resolution,it is callled "hoovering"

@berangere Yep.
So much crap.
One of the many things previously was them saying stuff like 'would a narc take care of their kid like I do.' My reply was 'of course Narcs have kids and take care of them.'
Another thing was 'would a narc help others.' My reply 'they usually do so to get something out of it.'
The person was very offended I called them a narc a while back. While they never pay attention or self-reflect of their own behaviors/words/tactics.

@berangere standing firm ...cost me so much, for years. Some people think they own you completely. To root them out of your life, you have to have a backbone

@SW-User @SW-User Yes it is very hard,mostly when they will try everything to get you back in their lives,with promises to change and act of kindness that are calculated to reel you back,but they never change and if you give them the benefit of the doubt the cycle of abuse will start all over again.
