Those who are married to a Predatory narcissist pay a high price for their partnership with them. You cannot know in the beginning that this person is the predator and you are the prey.
If you are married to a narcissist you experience the regressed, enraged projections of this individual's highly damaged real self which is very regressed and primitive.
Being the object of continuous vile projections takes a toll on your nervous system. You are constantly in fight or flight, the sympathetic, survival mode. Body systems are stretched to the limit - digestive, excretory, immune, lymphatic, endocrine, circulatory.
Those who sustain oxidative stress over a long period of time can sustain chronic inflammation which produces free radicals that can lead to a cycle of more oxidative stress.
Those who were traumatized as children and who as adults are subjected to narcissistic abuse have a more difficult time with oxidative stress.
There is a time of reckoning when you recognize deep insights about the true nature of the predatory narcissist. You know that you must turn course.
Renew your true self each day with a practice of self care and comfort. Good sleep, rest, movement, exercise/
Spend time in the parasympathetic nervous system with relaxation, meditation, prayer that works in a form best for you.
I have great faith in you-your authenticity, creativity, perseverance, fine character and integrity.
