Validation

“Validation is when others…help you validate reality. When what you are being told and exposed to continually from an N in your life has you so confused and doubting yourself, when all the while your gut is telling you, you really aren’t crazy. All these things are really happening to you. But because N’s are so manipulative and masterful at deceit it takes a close look to see what they really are. If you have been in the grip of an N’s world and are dependent on them for very basic needs it often takes strong others who are healthy to help validate what you already know on a deeper level. N’s can keep you so wound up in their shit that you barely have time to turn around, let alone sort out what the hell is really happening. It takes a lot of strength to name things as they are so finding people to validate your experiences isn’t easy most want to look the other way and who wants to believe these people are really what they are we have to because were involved with them and trying to get away and heal but others don’t want to jump into the fray so you are often left to figure it out on your own.”
