Number four: they beg God to punish you for leaving your spouse—or for walking away from your parents—especially if you divorced them or created distance to protect your mental health.
This is where the narcissist’s delusion takes a religious turn. They use God as a weapon, don’t they? They hide their bitterness behind moral language.
In their mind, they’re more than angry. They believe they’re spiritually justified in asking for your utter destruction because to them, you didn’t make a “hard choice” to survive. You committed a grave sin.
They cling to the idea that divorce is evil. They cling to the idea that walking away from a parent is rebellion. They believe loyalty means tolerating abuse.
They ignore the pain. They ignore the trauma—the isolation you endured. Instead, they paint themselves as victims of your disloyalty.
As with everything else, they say things like, “God hates divorce” or “Honor your parents.” And because they live by those values, they do it.
Why? Those words make their revenge look righteous. They don’t pray for your healing. They pray for your punishment.
They want God to make an example out of you—to rain down shame and suffering so you learn your lesson that walking away from them was the ultimate offense.
In their eyes, you’re not a survivor. You’re a traitor. And traitors deserve wrath.
