I went completely no contact with my narcissistic mother and dysfunctional family members, they were the ones causing me so much harm, suffering, betrayal, you don't understand what's happening until is already too late! I'm so glad I cut them out of my life and focusing on myself.🙏✂️🏃‍♀️

[hannahgrazzini]

All I’m saying is if I treated these people how they’ve treated me everyone would be pissed.

[belladonna]

1. The critic
2. The denier
3. The family martyr
4. The over-controlling family member
5. The drama queen or king

[NolanZ]

_My covert narcissistic mother exhibited each of the behavior traits Lisa discussed growing up. No contact in over 14 years. They never changed._

[TrueSelfWalkAway]

I have lived with these types my entire life. My emotional breakdown took me to Lisa. I am in her 12 week course. That along with therapy is helping to develop a stainless steel spine & a force field to protect my divine child. I have much to learn. Warrior in training.

[Unseen]

My uncle is the constant critic who would make negative comments and judge everything about you. He’s the type that would even tell you that you are breathing wrong.

[Blb]

Thank you thank you! I’m on the right path. I have identified those family members and some traits overlap. They are puzzled by my decisions since I’ve blocked and gone low to no contact with the others. If you disturb my peace and recovery you’re gone. . I can feel my shoulders come down daily. I no longer care if their feelings are hurt. They weren’t concerned about mine. I thought of those I’d want next to me on my death bed. Only 4 people came up and none of my blood origin family members are on it.
They’ve always embodied those 5 traits and I thought something was wrong with me. Nope..I’m beautiful and worthy!!❤❤

[fabulousfamily]

Nearly dying, from any cause, can be very traumatizing. Major health problems, such as cancer, or blood loss, or eclampsia, are terrifying and just as dangerous as getting mugged in the street. I want to bring more awareness to how difficult it is, not just to survive, but to BE a survivor. You know how close death is. You remember the danger. You have triggers and flashbacks, and nightmares. You're the lucky one. You're the "boy who lived, " and nobody talks about the PTSD.

[lessismore]

Yup. Grew up with a toxic younger sibling who was the family martyr. EVERY time I confronted him for behavior, he played victim. My mom NEVER did anything to protect me from his emotional abuse. I felt huge relief when he moved out

[orangecat]

The family martyr. My MIL to a T . Toxic in laws can also wreak havoc in your life. Minimal to no contact has helped me tremendously.

[francesbernard]

Seems to me that growing up in a chaotic home severly affects sleep habits while it was brainwashing us into believing we don't need enough sleep while blaming ourselves when being required to go without adequate sleep.

[lindsay]

Thank you . I needed this at this time . I’m living with my abusive father at age 60.. He’s dieing and taking it out on me :(.. He’s destroying my health .. 😢I’m a mental mess

[MariaMartinez-xmfl]

Everithing...everybody in my "family"... ❤️‍🔥

[doracoronado]

My mother told me I m crazy because I’m in a healing process. Thank for making clear that is ok for me don’t want to be close to my narcissistic family.

[Gemmarose]

Lisa, your content validates me and helps to reassure me that I’m on the right path. I live 1000 miles away and I have very limited or no contact with the entire family. I have made significant strides in recovery with the help of a trauma informed psychologist. I absolutely will not return to the people who did the damage. I’ve had enough. More than enough. It’s hard sometimes and I find myself second guessing myself, so again THANK YOU!❤

[nildarivera]

I know my ex was, very narcissistic and I was blessed that i was able to unravel from him as his attacks grew stronger and harsher and worse during our divorce ~ even though he had a girlfriend, he iniciated the divorce, made it seem like it was ALL MY FAULT and totally tried to destroy my image to every one including to our business associates, my own employees, took my business and told people that i was in a mental institution - which i was not, BUT I NEVER REALIZED MY MOTHER IS A COVERT NARCISSIST. IT DOES NOT STOP.
Thank you for all the seeds tou plant and help you give, Lisa

[janicebeauchamp]

Crazy how trauma leads to so much craziness! So grateful to get out of the fear. I love your work Lisa. You certainly understand trauma and have several books, classes and tools to dig out of the darkness. I'm very grateful to have the joy of your work and knowing how. A powerful video of what really happened! ❤

[AA-wctw]

If your narc lets you go, you're extremely lucky.
Avoiding family members is sometimes impossible. I tried to go NC with my NM at least 3 times and it only caused MORE drama. She escalated the situation and took action against me. She won't back off, she won't let me go.

[spacegirl]

I can't go no contact with my family, and both my parental units do all of these things. They are unavoidable, though I try to limit my contact with them. I am stuck in my healing journey because I can't get away from them and go somewhere safe so I can finally unload all these decades of trauma. Instead I'm stuck in hypervigilant mode, waiting for them to say or do something evil to me. Of course, they do. Because they never stopped. Hooray for scapegoats and punching bags and emotional dumpsters!

I am at my breaking point, but I'm doing the best I can.

Thank you, Lisa.

[gillymac]

It's tragic but ive felt more love from Lisa than my mum 😅and Lisa's taught me things my own mum couldn't.
2alcoholic parents, still believing im unlovable at 38 so can't conceive of someone being able to love/want me since they didn't seem to. Ive listened to a self love subliminal for 3 years every night. Obviously need to try a new track😂
Love to those who struggle to find it for themselves.
I love you. Big hugs!!❤
