@agoldenway: The most powerful response to manipulation isn't a better argument-it's a healthy boundary. #narcissist #narcissism #narcissisticabuse #npd #gaslighting
I’m trying to figure out how to deal with my narcissistic and manipulative mom but still keep access to my dad who has dementia 😭. I have to bite my tongue and not call her out on her crap to keep the peace so I can still see my daddy and know what’s going on with him. Plus I’m the only kid that lives anywhere near them. My brothers both live 6+ hrs away. I’m 45 minutes. So when my mom had to have surgery- I was the one that expected to be there 24/7 to help out. My dad can’t do much anymore and falls all the time. Thing is- I still have two kids at home. One that has summer practices in the opposite direction of their house and another one that’s special needs and has therapy two days a week plus dr appointments between the three of us. My husband works shift work so it’s usually me and the girls.

Thank you. I’ve been trying to figure out how to respond to the narcissist in my life who keeps crossing the no contact boundary. Will definitely try this next time.

and I'm only saying that because I kind of need help figuring out if he is or is it because of he is I would like to keep myself away from that I know he's my dad and all but like I can't be dealing with that there's signs but I am not completely sure
