Have you ever been rejected by your family & in-laws who despise you simply because you refuse to tolerate narcissistic abuse? It’s an incredibly challenging & isolating experience. At first, the rejection may be difficult to accept, but in time, you can realize that this rejection is actually a blessing in disguise. The people who blindly support & enable narcissists are incredibly dysfunctional & toxic, & their rejection is proof that you are on the right path towards healing & growth. Losing these individuals from your life opens the door for better people to come in, & with trust in God, you can be certain that He will send good people your way.
As a scapegoat & a victim of narcissistic abuse, I understand just how painful it can be to face rejection from your own family & in-laws. I want my experience to provide reassurance that you are not alone & that you will survive this experience with grace & dignity.
When I first experienced the rejection from my family & in-laws for not tolerating their narcissistic abuse, it was so painful & isolating! The people who were supposed to love & support me turned their backs on me, simply because I refused to accept their toxic behavior. It showed me that those who blindly support & enable narcissists are themselves dysfunctional & toxic individuals, & more often than not, narcissists themselves.
Over time as I began to reflect on their rejection, I came to understand that their hatred & animosity towards me were not a reflection of my worth or character. In fact, their rejection was proof that I was on the right path. People who hate truth & healthy, functional individuals are not the kind of people anyone needs in their lives.
I also learned that the rejection of such people is not a reflection of anyone’s value as a person. It’s more a reflection of their envy, insecurity, fear, lack of courage & desire to face truth. By distancing ourselves from these toxic individuals, we create space for healthier relationships & a more fulfilling life.
During my darkest moments, when I felt completely rejected & alone, I turned to my faith in God. It was at this time I found Psalm 68:6 in the Amplified Bible. The first half of this verse says, “God makes a home for the lonely.” This verse is so true! He has sent wonderful people into my life who are healthy, functional, kind, caring & a thousand times better than any one of those who rejected me. They are my family now, even though we aren’t biologically related.
Remember, you are not alone in your journey. There are others who have experienced similar rejection & have come out stronger on the other side. Surround yourself with people who understand & validate your experiences. Seek out support groups or communities where you can share your story, gain strength, & find solace in the presence of others who have walked the same path.
While the initial rejection & loss of family & in-laws may be painful, it is essential to recognize that it is truly a blessing in disguise. By removing toxic individuals from our lives, we create space for personal growth, healing, & the opportunity to cultivate healthy relationships. We are no longer burdened by the constant emotional abuse & manipulation that comes with being in the presence of narcissists & their enablers.
Remember, you deserve to be surrounded by love, respect, & kindness. Don’t settle for toxic relationships just because they are familiar or because they are so called “family.” Being related by blood or marriage to someone who thinks they have the right to control you & demand that you tolerate abuse is a nightmare. Having relationships with people God sends your way is infinitely better! Have faith in the journey ahead & trust that better people are waiting to come into your life.
