    100% Spot on!! I can blow your mind with my experiences being married to a Narc husband and his family. Working 2 decades in a Narcissist family business and best of all had a Narcissist father who destroyed me as a kid. Sets you up to attract the worst people on the planet! Nasty Narcissistic people suck your internal organs out of you! They are FAKE and 2 faced !! Count on that! Today I am a supernova empath. I can write a book on every experience in detail of red flags to look for.

Staying in her family cult & maintaining her "reputation" amongst them will always be her top priority.

    ​​@@carynmartin6053with all due respect, that is absolutely false. There are self-aware narcissists, like Dr. Sam Vaknin, a professor of psychology and diagnosed with NPD, who also discusses narcissistic abuse on YT and has written numerous books. Another self-aware and diagnosed NP is Ben Taylor, founder of Raw Motivations, who through years of continued counseling, began the journey of discovering his true self, not the false self created by the NP. He coaches narcissistic abuse survivors, much like this channel's author. I could name plenty more is necessary, so don't ever assume that because most narcissist will not admit what they are, that there are others who don't become aware and are willing to admit and do the work, that's failed logic. They may be a small number, but it does and has happened.

    I didn't know what I was marrying into. My husband was already married to his mother (enmeshment) as she called the shots to our wedding. Year after year he chose her say over mine. And if I called him out on his behavior, he'd go running to his parents, where they all painted me as the bad guy. I left with our kids after 5 years, and his family danced on his misery, telling him to divorce me so they could look and feel better than him. After seeing his family's true colors, my husband repented, begged for us back, and now he just silently mopes at home because he has no one to go running as a "victim" to anymore. And he refuses therapy because he doesn't want to believe that he and his family aren't prefect. They're all still narcissistic, and I'm indifferent now.

    Actually, most of the narcissists I’m thinking of didn’t respect their family or parents at all and/or they had a rough upbringing and that’s what made them narcissistic. They acquire this mentality like “if they do me wrong, I’ll just give them a dose of their own medicine”, like they fight fire with fire instead of water. Silence speaks much louder than words sometimes. Nothing feels more liberating than blocking, deleting, remove any/all flying monkeys, and moving on- without them.

They don't really have genuine connection and affection for each other. What they do is all out of duty and obligation and perpetuate the toxicity for some inexplicable reason.

    My parents moved 3 hours away to live near my adult "golden child" sisrer, and I resented it because I had just bought a townhouse a block away from them and was happy to be finally able to spend more time visiting them. My father's strange comment made no sense to me when, after several years, he told me, the "lost child," he was forgetting that I exxist since I hadn't visited them in a long time. Looking back, I suppose that was a plea for more contact, but at the time he said it, I felt so discarded. And perhaps I was. I see the sickness of the family system now that I only felt the consequences of while I was living in it.

    @victoryamartin9773…..Which is why I will NEVER move just to be near a son and the grandchildren that I’ve never seen yet. I used to get along with him spectacularly all of his life…..even after his first marriage. But after he divorced and got with his ‘common-law’ wife and had two children with her (she is a welfare mama and has three older children…), she has his brain so twisted now, it’s hard to talk on the phone without one of them accusing me of things that she attributes to her own mother as doing, and they pick fights with me. He even told me that I was a narcissist! I looked into this more, as I am always trying to learn from my own mistakes, but as it turns out, it is the two of them that are the freaking narcissists! (She also has him into drinking alcohol now….something that he used to be against, because of all of the alcoholic ahole relatives on my side of the family….I am the only one that doesn’t drink). They called me near the end of last February, and started calling me names and told me that I was being a victim. I told them that I am nobody’s victim, and to quit labelling me….I also told them that I don’t want to go through this yet again, and I tried to politely beg off the phone….then my son would quickly tone down the abuse…..only for the two of them to start ratcheting it up again…..and I said that I wasn’t going to do this……so he backed down again. This kept going up and down until the call was over. It was so frustrating. They are using the children as pawns. What they don’t realize, is that I am so allergic to abuse, that when I move from where I am now living, I am not basing where to move to next, on being by my grandchildren. I’ve already cried the tears for years, over not having my grandchildren in my life…..if that’s the way it has to be, then I’ve made my peace with it…..and I will not live by them JUST to be near the grandchildren, after all of the screaming, abusive phone calls that I’ve had to endure with my son and his ‘common-law’ wife. She seems to thrive on the ‘drama’ that she creates, and has gotten him into playing her game. He used to be able to see through this kind of behaviour in others, so I’m confused as to why he is doing it now? Maybe the drinking has clouded his judgement? And now that there are his children involved, he is probably playing along in order to not lose them? She has been known to kick other men to the curb after having their children…..so she has a ‘pattern’. She is getting too old now to have anymore however, so she’s more inclined to stay with my son than if she were still younger. But still, I think he stays for the children. Yet at the same time, he complained that the oldest son of hers, gets upset when my son and she starts drinking, because he doesn’t like how they act. Her oldest son is autistic. I’ve talked with him on the phone…..he’s high-functioning, but yes, he is kind of like Forrest Gump. Sweet kid, and I can’t blame him for wanting to leave the room (or house), when they start drinking. People who drink think that they are acting okay….when in reality, they are aholes. My son begs to differ…..but I think he has been drinking when he picks fights on the phone……and we used to get along reeeally well!

Mother in law bitterly says to me, " He supported you!!!! " 😮 In other words, how dare you be happy and independent. . Problem is I worked, he left, was abusive and was still being supported by HER 😢 They only see what they want to see. Guilt tripping is a constant even to the point of using blatant lies to rationalize their own abuse to you. You are right, you will always be the outsider to people like this. They do not like competition. 🙏

    I survived the narcissistic cult of my ex-husband's mother and sister. It got even worse when my ex father in law died 7 years ago. I have been out for 6 years now...and I'm co-parenting our 11 year old daughter with all of the cult members. It is a nightmare.

    There is a thing about stray dogs... If any outsider comes in dogs territory then they band together and bite it off and atlast the outsider runs away ..but in actual the dogs are always fighting with each other ..all the time conflicts.. Narcissists are just like WILD DOGS..fighting each other but if we marry them then they start biting us collectively..

    They have give and take relations in their family. I mean transactional, fully conditional relations. It's never love but huge trauma bonded within them. But when we fall for any relation with them they attack like a hyena pack.

    Mine lives in his childhood home with his mother. He lives on one side, she lives on the other. She had a major stroke and he’s been taking care of her for nearly a decade; he took me along for the ride without asking if it was one I’d like to take. Now, before you say how can he be a narcissist? He gave up his life to care for his mother…she’s a cash cow. He makes over 6 figures just to be home sleeping in his house because he’s “taking care of her.” He has caretakers during the waking hours. He uses her name to get loans, credit cards, you name it. He essentially has the borrowing power of 2 people because he is her power of attorney. Their names are on everything together, down to his Netflix account. He has acted as a husband would if she had had one when she had her stroke. Ironically she spent her life counseling women to help get them out of abusive relationships, her stroke left her without speech, and her son is a toxic, abusive narcissist. They do not do ANYTHING unless they benefit from it in some way.

    Best video ever - finally I get to understand the system. I had to laugh so badly, 'cause it had freed my mind. Once my ex father in law had asked me: "Are you sure you want to be part of the bulwark Smith? Because I don't take any BS - like gossip in town!" He controls the whole town and everything in that town. My son remained there after separation and when he screws up his father gets mad at him, because he will be in trouble with HIS parents. That system is so unutterably horrifying and so hard to leave if you are caught up in it. How is a child suppose to see it, if an adult can't see it!?

    My narcissistic ex would go out with his family on the weekends “for a free meal.” They would go to dinner. His family would always pay. I felt so guilty because I wasn’t raised that way. I wouldn’t go. He would just say I wasn’t grateful. I was more than grateful, I just didn’t want to take advantage and have them pay. I am really struggling with everything. This is just another thing on the list.

    This is exactly my husband. He always want to have this image of being fair, compassionate, kind, and helpful but completely the opposite for me. I feel like I cannot have someone to rely on. He doesn't care about me or our family. He blames me and accused me of being sensitive and being the problem to all my sufferings from his family. Until now, that we are 16 years together as a family, and we are still living together with his parents and siblings. He said it would only take 2-5 years maximum and we would be able to have our own house. Until now, it is still the same situation as 16 years ago. It's hard to leave especially when you already have kids. I'm just nothing here and I've been practicing gray rocking for several years already just to avoid drama especially when he/they trigger me.

    this reminds me of the time when I was in a friend group where I was always met with snarky comments and physical assaults from a single person. when i confronted her behaviour with other people in the friend group, they all just brushed away my concerns and told me that I was being too sensitive and "its how she is being friendly with you". the worst part is I believed their lies and continued to be in contact with them. with a phone call to the head narc of the group later, I now realize she was a narcissist and that bully who physically assaulted me was her flying monkey.(wasted my precious time trying to be friends with them..ugh!! ) the same is with my sister and mother who team up to criticize me whenevr they have the chance. they also never invite me to anything. and believe me when I say their conversations are so stunted. each person is not willing to listen to the other one, and they are both speaking their seperate tales. I am happy to share that I no longer deal with these people's bullshit anymore and they are no longer an active part of my life.

I became confused and started questioning my own sanity. There was gaslighting, manipulation, outcasting of a family member who did not tow the line. Unbelievable. I have experienced this in varying degrees in my life, but that situation was the end. NEVER, EVER AGAIN WILL I ALLOW IT TO HAPPEN TO ME, AGAIN. I WISH TO LIVE IN PEACE WITH MYSELF. Love and Light💕🕯️

    So true and they make you look like the problem of course. I was mocked, I was made to feel like I was a bad parent, like I had no idea what I was doing, like I wasn’t assertive enough or just like them basically. The ex and their Mom caused some mind fuckery for me for a while when it came to my own parenting which was MY daughter who is not even related to them. They felt they could because they were “above” me. I will never forget how I was treated. It’s not fun but it created a strong independent woman. And I’ve never lost my compassion or love for people. These connections will break you down to the point where you want to die. You completely lose your identity and soul!! Soul sucking for sure but recovery is possible. I am stronger and wiser because of this experience. So thank you ❤️

    Narcissists need to have a family. Because it is their only and true connection to ‘who they are’. The history of their family and their membership of, or part in, this history proofs their existence. It defines who they are, and that is something they need desperately, because they don’t know who they are, since they have abandoned their soul at a very young age…. Sooooooo sad 😢

    My narcissist, ex-wife had a bizarre relationship with her alcoholic mother. Her mother had raised her to think that she was a genius above everyone else, but also was very critical of her. Mother-in-law visits were stressful to the ex because she routinely received criticism about lack of development, changing for the better. All came to a head when mom convinced daughter to seek a divorce, which when consummated, my ex regretted greatly (not because she loved me or the kids, but because she lost financially). She then criticized her mother who then prompted shot herself as a final act of control.
