Arguments with them get nowhere. It's a huge waste of time and energy.

it is so exhausting when you’re forced to live with them in the same house 😔

Its your character they will try to damage and destroy.
Your value is not based on their inability to recognize your worth.

I've found responding "lol" to every text or email is pretty triggering for them. And satisfying for me.

It really feels like the more you try to move on and be happy, the more they try to shove you back down

Another aspect to this is just not giving them any personal information to weaponize against you. It makes what he's saying so much easier. And not caring what other people think is a superpower.

I was always accused of starting fights. It took me years to realize that he considered a fight anytime I held a different opinion or wanted something different than he did. He’s told my kids and everyone around that I started all the fights. Now, when I hear this I proudly say yes I did. I wasn’t his slave and I had my own opinions. It’s not a fight to think for yourself.

It took me a long, long time to figure out why my mother was so hostile to and about any friendships I formed, especially after I left home and was living on my own. She became visibly irritated and agitated any time I would talk about them. For years, I thought I was just talking too much about myself. Today, as a parent of 2 almost-30 year olds, I'm so happy and proud that my children's friends welcome us "old folks" to their celebrations and enjoy coming to our home when they're in town.
Love expands your world exponentially.

They most certainly are “task masters.” Like they’re the parent figure & you’re the child. Perfect description.

I never rver stopped being who I am. Im confident, resilient, kind, and i stand in my truth. Thats why i was discarded and replaced.

Finally❤. Someone who knows what he's talking about!

These are all excellent takeaways. To to me fear the the narcissists intills in you is the most destructive to ones quality of life. You become afraid of the narcissist, you become afraid of the life, you become afraid of going out on your own. Fear, it is a killer.

Get up early and spend time centering yourself with your goals and a healthy self care plan …for the day.

This is great advice provided you don't live with them. When you live with a true narcissist, they will find a way to get to you. If you're human you will break and that's a fact. Narcissists know that you will break eventually and it's almost impossible to go on under their pressure without giving in. The only real solution is to get out before it destroys you completely. It's not easy, but there's usually a way and it comes about, especially if you've got a loved one who cares about you. I got out 2 years ago, and I'm doing well one day at a time.
