That quote's great but it made me wonder, what does it say about us if we're here watching her so much? Most of us have had narc relationships in our lives and we're here watching another narc. I can't help but feel if I was over it I wouldn't be here watching a narc like AE go on.
I understand that, friend.
What I can offer is that sometimes triggering things don't just upset us but inspire our conviction to seek justice. I should never speak for people in here but a major theme I have noted amongst our sea of banter, memes, correspondences, personal stories, and opinions, is this overall yearning to help put an abusive person in her place.
A lot of people also congregate here to recollect their past trauma, and sure, that's triggering...but with the intention of receiving validation and assurance that they committed no harm, that their oppressor was wrong, and that justice should have been acquired.
We are a soundboard, indeed, but our directive seems to be pretty morally upright (if you exclude the jabs & memes, which are just de-stressor behaviors lol). We all seem interested in preserving truth and using it to dismantle an abuser's manipulation tactics, those tactics being quite capable of destroying other people's lives.
Healing doesn't necessarily equate to turning away, if that makes sense?
