Good-Bye to Narcissistic Family Members
Download | Duration: 00:04:38
I have received many emails from individuals who grew up in families with narcissistic members. They speak about the cruel, demeaning, hateful ways they were treated by "golden" siblings. Many individuals have told me that separating themselves from narcissistic familiy members was the most positive move they ever made. It freed them to renew faith in themselves, to breathe the air of their unique creative gifts and find openings for new relationships that are authentic and loving.

I got fed up with my narcissistic mother and enabling father about 10 years ago. I did not realize at the time that my mother is a narcissist. All I knew is that I had had enough of her and my spineless father. I went through several years of feeling guilty about my cutting them off until I accidently found an article on narcisssim and it fit my mother to a T.
I then began putting the pieces of the puzzle together of a lot of the things that went on in our dysfunctional family. Most of the problems that occurred led back to one person, her! My youngest brother is the "golden" child. He is indeed bright and I hold no grudge against him for having been appointed the special one. I have begun to see evidence of his using the very same types of word games my mother uses and I have to wonder if he is also a narcissist or just borrowed her tactics, having been exposed to them for so long. Probably the most valuable thing I have learned by cutting my parents off, is that I am my own person of worth. I am not obligated to be anyone's doormat. Nor should I allow myself to feel guilty about saying no when I mean no.
