I hate it when ppl say " Family is EVERYTHING" as if to say "you are nothing if you dont have family" because its just not true.

It is not my responsibility to endure my siblings abuse.

"You can live without your family, but it is very difficult to live without inner peace." 100% TRUTH✔ Excellent video Jerry and thank you!

"Parents don't own their children" 😮
That one hit me.

I watched this today and it has opened my eyes to why narcissistic families attack each other. The attack is mostly done when someone in the family refuses to play the family role. I did that and was attacked, gaslit, and smeared to my entire extended family. But what I've discovered is that, even when an adult child plays the role and stays in the family, he/she is still attacked by being gossiped or smeared to other siblings. So it's like, they're actually never happy with you no matter what, and they'll continue to think badly about you (adult child) until they die. I guess no one can change this destructive behavior but them. But I wouldn't have my hopes up for that to happen.

The first time meeting a friend's family, I witnessed how good they were to one another, that his dad didn't physically abuse him and/or accuse him of random, bizarre things, was like seeing bigfoot... I'd heard reports of such a thing, but never really entertained that it actually existed!

Why on earth would you want to sit at the dinner table with these people

I can live without my family but I can't live without inner peace. I like this. This is really clarifying.

It's so true the moment I had no contact with my family I felt so much peace, peace like I've never felt before.

Narcissistic family members are highly entertained by watching you try to please them - secure in the knowledge that you'll never be able to do it . You can only live your own life and leave toxic people behind . I've been subject to most of these forms of maltreatment even long after marrying and having moved out .

I'm better off without my toxic family members. Sad but true.

I remember 3 years ago when I moved out of my narc family home and got my own place because I was pregnant and needed my own space to raise my daughter, my narc family attacked me during my pregnancy and attacked me when I moved out because I was the scapegoat and when the scapegoat leaves the family suffers. I took my narc family to court and put restrictions on them for a year and that caused rage to my narc mother and she started the smear campaign and thought she was entitled to breaking the rules of my boundaries. I cut all contact with my family including my narc family. Been peaceful ever since and happily living my life without them.

I tried talking to my family for 3 years now. This excellent mama will never try again. To be buried alive is unforgivable.

My family attacked me and got everyone involved in the attack. I was so shocked and absolutely heartbroken of how they can treat someone that they supposed to love. My eyes became more clear as I continued to wipe away tears and dealing with the heartache. With time I have continued to pray and read self help books along with watching your videos. My daughter is even keeping me from my granddaughter. Her 1st birthday is next week and I’ve never been able to see her. The heartbreak is overwhelming. I thank you for all your videos. They are getting me through a very rough time.

My family brought me to the point of suicide. Seven years on, going no contact and a deep dive I am a totally different person. I will never understand it. It was so vengeful but in the end they are just pathetic narcisstic bullies - I’ll let God and karma take over and give them what they deserve

[auntiekaren]

"you can live without your family but you can't live without inner peace." I had to find this out the painful way

[plursocks]

I'm going through this right now. My brother is attacking me for finally going no contact with my mom. I'd tried for 30 years to get her to listen to me and treat me with respect but no, THIS TIME will be different. And the worst thing was...he was parroting the exact same talking points that my mom has used my whole life to shame me and guilt me to stay under her control

[jgarofalo]

Omg I fell for the keep trying harder loop. It’s a waste of time. I thought myself as the “bigger person” instead of realizing I was being used and a scapegoat.

I have mental heath issues and it seems every Friday they mess with me comments on my fb sends me text phone calls. So today I took a step of blocking them I am not going to let anyone ruin the day 😊
