Do you flinch?

Enablers and anger

Never ‘out’ your nparents to family friends etc!!! I PROMISE they will take revenge, and it will be something you could never imagine

Were your parents shaming you about your weight, no matter how skinny or fat you actually were?

Narcissists don't smile, they smirk

It’s heartbreaking when you read the actual duties of a parent and start to realize what we were deprived of while being brainwashed into thinking we were the problem.

does anyone else feel creatively stunted?

Did anyone else believe because of their awful childhood they were owed an easier life later on?

anyone feels their trauma isn't serious enough to cause cptsd and it's too dramatic of a diagnosis?

Anyone 30s or 40s still living with parents?

Were you “allowed” to throw tantrums as a child?

How do I beat my mom at her own game? Any advice is greatly appreciated

If one more person tells me what a wonderful woman my NMom was, I may scream in their face.

Genuinely fascinated how many people here are married

I’m unemployed because of how psychologically damaged I am from being raised by two very narcissistic parents

One of the last exchanges between me and Nmom before I ended things:

are narcissists incapable of self-reflection or not wanting to self-reflect?

Narcissistic parents are basically just lazy freeloaders who have kids for free labor and attention

This is what hairloss from mites looks like. The green, red, yellow, etc, is bc (Demodex) mites look like glitter, and I've seen them every color of the rainbow. How do I see something microscopic? Lights off, 2nd phone for a flashlight, perpendicular to the 1st phone, recording. 1x is magnified

Did anyone else's nparents call you crazy/make claims about your mental health?

Did anyone realize later in life that they were abused as kids?

“I love you but I don’t like you”

My parents never apologized, making my brother not capable of apologizing and me being avoidant.

Did your parents try to buy your love?

Those of you with no friends and social life- how did you end up that way ?
