Thats great you have had wonderful in laws, Native Spirit. Too because I remember you wrote somewhere you were unfortunate with your own first family, at least one family member there?

I have sadly learned that even if I have confronted a narcissist it does nothing to improve the situation/s. I used to make up my own rules as how to survive, handle it with self respect intact such as deciding if this or that happened, was said, I was to say what I was to say and then I was to leave. This because a narcissist love drama, centre of attention, don't matter if good or bad and you get nowhere anyways.

I have too after confrontating the narcissist been the target of the narcissist trying to upgrade it's game with trying to intimidate me, frighten me, sneaky punishments along the way. Used to having someone in their life that would back down but I did not back down, but I did not create drama either. When it felt forced to apologise even that was false and fake and see through. Things just stayed unresolved.

It is terrible that it takes only one person, a narcissist, to sabotage as much as they do, even if surrounded by good normal developed people, other family members, busy patching things up.

It is so different from when two people don't click or disagree about something than if that someone is a true narcissist. Knowledge is everything. Once you know, have the knowledge about this, you feel like you got yourself back and you got your strenght back and your vision and you have the tools you need to handle it.
