Surviving the Narcissistic Family II
Download | Duration: 00:03:22
There are some extraordinary human beings who survive growing up in a narcissistic family---mother, father, siblings--I have heard from some of these individuals and their stories of multiple cruelties, emotional deprivation, scapegoating one would think could be the themes of fiction---but this is the truth.
Regardless of how well the adult who has endured and prevailed in the lion's den of the narcissistic family, he carries the psychological scares of an embattled life. Individuals who come to terms with with who they are and can fully appreciate their survivial despite all of the odds against them are truly remarkable.
I hold a special place of honor and respect for these miraculous survivors. They live now in emotional freedom, using their creative gifts and are living symbols of what the individual human being can overcome and then rise to high levels of consciousness. These special people are an inspiration to all of us. Visit my website:thenarcissistinyourlife.com

It is so good for me to see this post as I am one of those people who is just waking up to the truth. I am the daughter of a N Mother who married the N son of a N mother. As you can imagine my life has been more akin to the drama series Dallas and yes the scars run deep.I have spent most of my adult life isolated from the outside world with only the Ns and their enablers for company. Each of them using me as their scapegoat and as the saying goes the majority can't be wrong so I had no choice but to accept I was the one that had it all wrong. I would just like to point out I really do not have any abandonment issues but for a long long time I have questioned my own sanity. I have been put through untold cruelties by my N husband and his family and not recognizing my own Mother was a N I would turn to her for support. In true N style she would tell me I was blowing every thing up out of all proportion and it really was time I grew up which would send me rushing off to rethink my own behavior. I would always be able to find some small misdemeanor I had committed.I would focus on changing that part of my personality and always hoped that would make things better. Only once I remembered I actually used to like me but I was not too crazy for the person they were trying to make me be, did I finally stop looking inward and started looking ( as unlikely as it might be)to see if they had the problem. That was the first time I had ever heard the term NPD and OMG it was like the lights had just been turned on. On a very positive note I would just like to say I have 19yr old twin boys who display NO N tendencies. I am in the proses of working out a strategy to get away from N husband and his family because as you point out in one of your other posts he has all the finances. I went no contact with my own mother three years ago.
