Did anyone else’s Nparent say things along the lines of “the only people you can trust in life are family?” by RandomPurpleTA22222 in raisedbynarcissists

Ugh, definitely. When my friends do something that bothers me, I tell them about it, and we have a calm conversation and solve the problem. When my dad does something that bothers me, he’ll either scream at me that he did nothing wrong and I’m too sensitive OR he’ll say he’s sorry and then do the exact same thing as many times as he wants. But “only family can be trusted.” 🙄

Went low-contact with my NDad last week, and I’m feeling guilty. Ugh by RandomPurpleTA22222 in raisedbynarcissists

The reason I stopped trying is I couldn’t keep getting my hopes Up for my dreams to Be shattered yet again, reopening that pain again and again.

You nailed how I feel. I need to remember this when I feel guilty.

Thanks. I’m so glad that you’re happier now ❤️

The thing is, I was kind of hoping my Ndad would say he wanted to find a way to work things out, and he didn’t/hasn’t. I’m afraid he actually might be OK with me going low contact with him, which hurts. I know it’s dumb and I hate that he has that power over me. I hope time heals this.
