Finally, we come to the conclusion. If you are sitting there waiting for them to realize what they lost, know this: they will. It is mathematically guaranteed. No one can tolerate them the way you did; no one will serve them like you did, sacrificing their happiness to keep the narcissist warm.
But when that moment comes, when they reach out with that regret, do not mistake it for love, an apology, or true remorse. It is merely a hunger pang. They are realizing that life is cold and hard without their shield—you. You took the arrows and the blows for them. Now that you are gone, they are facing the harsh reality, and it hurts them.
Don’t be the shield anymore. Let them feel the cold and sit in their regret. That feeling of loss—that’s the only consequence they will ever face. Do not fix it for them. Let them walk in the rain. You have your own road to travel, and for the first time in a long time, the sun is shining on it.
On a side note, you can join my upcoming master class happening this weekend. The topic is how to become the person no narcissist can stand. I am doing it only once this year, so join right now by clicking the link in the description or in the pinned comment. I’ll see you on the other side. With that, let’s bring this episode to an end. Let the healing begin.
