No peace within a Narcissist

Being in a relationship with a narcissist means there’s always a hidden world unfolding behind your back.

These individuals are deeply empty, constantly seeking stimulation from multiple sources just to get through life. Whether it’s indulging in addictions like drugs or pornography, engaging in emotional affairs, or chasing risky financial ventures that often lead to trouble, they thrive on chaos.

Flirting and stringing people along isn’t just for fun—it’s a strategy. They know they’ll eventually get bored of you or that you’ll start recognizing their games. Since being alone is unbearable for them, they’re always grooming new prospects, ensuring they have a backup supply of admiration and attention.

You’ll also notice their pattern of making promises—dangling them like bait to control you. If you don’t comply, they withdraw the promise. Sometimes, they deny ever making it, or they delay it until you give up. The truth? They never planned to keep it in the first place.

A narcissist has no real moral compass. Their only concern is satisfying themselves, no matter the cost.

When you finally walk away, they’ll circle back, pretending to check on you when, in reality, they’re just seeing if they still have access to you.

If you share a child, they’ll weaponize that child to manipulate and torment you. Unless you set firm legal boundaries or cut them off completely, they’ll continue their psychological warfare. Sadly, the child may be deeply affected—either molded into another narcissist or left emotionally shattered.

Most people don’t truly understand narcissists.

Sometimes, you stay because you fear the pain of leaving—until you realize the pain of staying is far worse.

Other times, you convince yourself you’re staying for the children—until you see that the narcissist is either shaping them into mini versions of themselves or breaking them entirely.

The only solution is to accept the truth: this person is incapable of peace. Their greatest skill is manipulation and keeping you confused.

Real life begins when you detach, reclaim your sense of self, and pursue genuine emotional stability.

Cherokee Women – It’s a cellular memory within me . To stand .

In Cherokee culture, women held significant positions and enjoyed certain privileges and responsibilities.Women in Cherokee society were considered equals to men and could earn the title of War Women. They had the right to participate in councils and make decisions alongside men. This equality sometimes led outsiders to make derogatory remarks, such as the accusation of a “petticoat government” by the Irish trader Adair.

Clan kinship was matrilineal among the Cherokee, meaning that family lineage and inheritance were traced through the mother’s side. Children grew up in their mother’s house, and maternal uncles held the role of teaching boys essential skills related to hunting, fishing, and tribal duties.

Women owned houses and their furnishings, and marriages were often negotiated. In the event of a divorce, a woman would simply place her spouse’s belongings outside the house. Cherokee women had diverse responsibilities, including caring for children, cooking, tanning skins, weaving baskets, and cultivating fields. Men contributed to some household chores but primarily focused on hunting.

Cherokee girls learned various skills by observing and participating in their community. They learned story, dancing, and acquired knowledge about their heritage. Women were integral to the Cherokee society, and their roles played a central part in the community’s functioning and adaptation to changing circumstances.
