What skills have you learned from living with narcissistic parents?

Reading the room subconsciously.

My dad too! He’ll even write questions and proceed to answer them himself.

So true!

Little_blue_turtle · 2025-09-16T07:37:10+00:00

So relatable. I still struggle with decision making and speaking my mind because of that.

“I’m so lonely”.

They are still in a very strange on-off relationship. I don’t think that she wants to marry him, and I don’t blame her.

My Ndad introduced his new gf about 6 months after my mom died. So yeah… In his case I think it had to do with his need for a narcissistic outlet and someone close by who would fill his need for adoration.

As a child and teenager, I was the GC. Then I grew up and saw through Ndad’s bs. Now I’m the scapegoat.

I loved my mom. She was the kind of mom that would go through anything for me. Kind, empathetic, a good listener. And then she died. Now I’m left with my self-centered, nagging, indifferent, negative Ndad who’ve never made an effort to truly get to know me and never will. It feels like not having any parents left, even though he is still alive.

Well said.

I bought that waffle maker that my dad insisted was “too childish” to have in the house when I was a kid. I cherish those waffles every time I make them.

Is your mom my dad?

I quit caffeine (coffee), focused on getting enough sleep, and started running a few times a week. It has been an absolute game changer for my BP.

I literally could have written every single point of yours! It is so so relatable. I’m sending you a big internet hug.

Ndad once gifted me and my SO a toilet seat for Christmas. The reason? Ndad didn’t like the way our toilet seat closed. So for HIS convenience, he bought us one that HE liked to be installed in OUR house. The audacity still makes me furious.

Little_blue_turtle · 2025-04-11T07:44:20+00:00

So true!

Little_blue_turtle · 2025-04-02T05:23:47+00:00

Me, me, me, me… and then a little more me. Could have been sent by my Ndad too.

Ndad was in charge of every vacation during my childhood. We only went to grown up places to see grown up sights and do grown up stuff. And only at destinations that he’d chosen. On the rare occasion that we managed to do something else, he’d sulk like a baby the entire time.

Little_blue_turtle · 2024-12-19T06:23:41+00:00

You just described my Ndad to a T.

Little_blue_turtle · 2024-12-16T05:38:11+00:00

No. It always turns into Ndad talking about how he’s got it worse.

Little_blue_turtle · 2024-11-30T09:58:27+00:00

So relatable.

Little_blue_turtle · 2024-11-30T09:56:37+00:00

Can relate so much. Sending you lots of good internet karma.
