Moving out should be your highest priority. Buy your own place, and then move out of where the abuse took place and into that new place that you now fully and solely own as soon as possible.

You no longer need to walk on eggshells to appease the narcissist. You need to focus on your exit strategy. High yield actions that bring massive results and radical difference in your situation. The shorter the way in this case, the better. If there’s a shortcut, take it! It doesn’t have to be the best option available, it just has to work this time around.

You need for example to buy your own place. Don’t wait until you become so successful and make a ton of money first, before you make the jump. The purpose of your life is to make it out of the grip of the narcissist in one piece and never go back there again. Never look back. Focusing on finishing college first, getting your dream job, finding the love of your life, getting your business off the ground is why you’ll never make it out alive.

Don’t waste your energy on winning fights against them. Don’t argue. Don’t yell back. Don’t put them in their place. Don’t feed them. Focus on getting out of that concentration camp as soon as possible. Nothing else matters. At least until you have your own place where you can take legal action against them if they harass you over there.

Move out of this hell hole, into your new place that you can call your own legally.

Don’t attempt to have a successful career or a normal life while you’re still there, stuck with your abusers. Moving out should be your highest priority. You need to no longer be physically trapped with them in one place ever again. You need to get your own place and move out into it by any means necessary, legally, of course.

You won’t always be able to take shelter or seek refuge in a place owned by a friend or a family member, because they might still have a distorted view of you after having been exposed to ample evidence against your sanity due to endless smear campaigns that started perhaps even before you were born. You may also need some time that you can spend absolutely on your own after escaping the abuse. You may not want to be around people for a long time after you successfully leave the location where the abuse took place for good. Any attempt to make you snap out of it by a concerned friend for example might trigger you, because you may still perceive it as further attempts to gaslight you. This could confirm their suspicions about you and your sanity, because the smear campaigns will have definitely took care of how much they trust that you’re not crazy or delusional.

Don’t attempt to buy your dream house on the beach yet before you escape. Buy something that you can afford sooner rather than later. Get out. Save yourself. And then you can start thinking about having or getting a normal life like everybody else.
