“My father always wanted to be the corpse at every funeral, the bride at every wedding and the baby at every christening.” - Alice Roosevelt Longworth — Written by Alice Roosevelt about her father, Teddy. I feel like this quote perfectly captures the dynamics of having an nParent. Whenever sympathy, positive attention or adoration is being doled out …

No one understands the effects of being trapped inside for years with an Nparent. — As flair said, its a vent. So please excuse my weird formatting. I'd also really love to know if Im not alone on some of these things. 1. Not being given the support or permission to learn how to …

Their apologies are so fake — Just got an apology text from my nparent. They said sorry and that they regret their actions but follow it up with how they were “simply hopeful” that I wanted to see them. I don’t want to get into de…

The fake emergencies have made another appearance — It's both comical and infuriating. My work from home days decreased recently. This means I'm not "available" to nparent as much. The first day I was in office was fine, but I'm pretty sure nparent f…

You are brave. I canceled a trip to my home country because I do not want to see my nparent.

I hope the turning point wasn't to triggering, though I agree with narcissists not having alone time with children they can harm in any way. 👍 So, telling my nMother that is something I actually l…

I recommend writing down things she says so you can refer back to notes and realise when she is changing the narrative. Record the variations too. I have my elderly nparent on scheduled contact. I r…

I think it is the nparent. They put children into roles to support their needs. They move children in those roles as their needs change. The enabling parent just helps maintain the roles to keep the n…

I remember I told my therapist once that I wanted to move across the world to get away from my nparent. She stopped me and made me reflect on what I was willing to do to avoid her. We worked on settin…

Take NO gifts from an Nparent. Once you do, they’ll assume you’re open to resuming the same relationship they had with you before you ditched them. Yes, you’re right — it’s always transactional.
