Stuck with a narcissist
Anybody else stuck with a narcissist? The lies (even about little things) the toxicity, the control, the not being able to do a single thing right and being made to feel incapable or not good enough to do anything! I thought it was normal behaviour at first. I thought it was just me, my fault… I thought it was what I deserved… I was blind to it, when people picked up on it I used to not know what they were on about… now I see it. Just wondering if anyone else is going through the same?

Hi 👋 I can relate. My Father is a narcissist so I know how hard it is Xx
so sad isn’t it 😢 do they ever change?! I’m not in a position to leave but it’s having a big impact on my mental health. How do you cope/have you coped with your father? Any advice appreciated! 🥺♥️
It’s so sad 😔 an awful situation. I can relate to your frustration etc.
Short answer no unfortunately.
Long answer I think it depends,.. does he have narcissistic behaviour or is he a narcissist and what type etc etc.
I know for me personally there’s nothing I can do apart from educate myself and change my behaviour bc that’s the only part I’m in control of. But honestly it’s so hard and definitely affects your mental health. And definitely not conducive of a healthy and happy relationship. I feel continuously guilty for feeling how I feel bc I love him, which also makes me feel sad for myself! It’s a vicious cycle unfortunately.
If you can’t leave, at least look after yourself and get help for your mental health? I hope if things aren’t able to improve you find a way to leave and be happy ❤️
You can message me! I’d be more than happy to continue chatting xx
I can relate in other ways to but I don’t want to say on open chat xx
