Grace222, I’ve walked a mile or two in your moccasins...
It is mighty hard to bite the tongue and allow our children the right to work out the dynamics of a situation on their own.
Going all banshee on them defeats the purpose, confuses the kid more, and rewards the narcissistic offender with the satisfaction (or fuel) they were able to get not only under your skin but into your dreams as well.
I see I used to be a magnet for narcissistic types and those suffering bpd. I know now they were attracted to my core of calmness and empathy.
I was pushed around like silly putty for decades. Not anymore. The choice to disengage is powerful.
Now I suppose all we can do is set an example and hope for the best. <3 thank you for posting.
