Recently, there have been so many talks about flying monkeys among victims of toxic relationships. The flying monkeys continue to gaslight the victims and thus add more trauma that can sometimes be worse than the trauma caused by exposure to the toxic persons within the relationships.
Flying monkeys need to be pushed as far away from the victims as possible as soon as the victim exits the toxic relationship. When healing occurs, they do not need to be allowed access to the lives of the survivors of toxic relationships. They will continue to play in favor of the toxic person for whatever reasons (family ties, working relationships, social benefits, and common interests). There are also other reasons for their bias against the victims and these include envy of what you achieved while they could not, jealousy of your strength and your success, dissatisfaction with your survival after they were hoping for you to be destroyed, and finally, their resentment when they see you at peace and happy without the toxic person. This creates so many negative feelings, and they try to return to your life to ensure that you stay unwell.
You need to recognize they are not your friends. They will never praise you and your survival, and your achievements. They need to be cancelled out of your life.
Only then can you smile and keep moving on without looking in the back mirror. Let them be to their misery and learn you are strong with the Grace of God and his blessings, and that you made it through his support. You pulled through, and you definitely do not want to go back to surrounding yourself with those flying monkeys. Let them stack on the sides of the toxic person, and smile knowing that neither of them is satisfied with this position.
