Hello, I have been on the receiving end of narcissistic abuse for nearly three years now. My abuser is highly successful and even the police hands are tied.
Any tips on how to manage the gas lighting and possessiveness/obsessive behaviours coming from my abuser?

Hi @Survivor89
Welcome to the forums. Thank you for sharing this. I'm really sorry to hear about what you've been experiencing, it sounds like a very difficult and challenging situation over a long period of time. You have the right to feel safe, and these experiences are distressing, isolating and you don't have to go through this alone. You are doing the right thing to find out what other options and support is available to you.
I'm sorry to hear you have not received the outcome you had hoped for with police, It's important that any changes or safety concerns that you continue to report and communicate to police.
