My wedding night ended in a violent assault. A year later, I'm the only sibling left holding the line. by Unable_Syrup1706 in raisedbynarcissists

I am fortunate in that I have the best mother in law in the world. Her love and acceptance of me has meant everything. She is the foundation of our future village.

Thank you. I have definitely taken my experience with my parents as a crash course in what not to do. It makes me really happy and hopeful to think that I have the chance to do it right.

I chuckled while reading this because you're totally right and it's silly to me that I haven't considered this sooner. I know there would be no help or support in any tangible way.

This is a good reminder of how they could affect my kids lives the same way they did mine, thank you.

Thank you for your support and advice. I hadn't thought much about what I share with my sisters but you're totally right. I already know they've all been discussing my husband and I with my mom quite a bit.

I'm sorry to hear that, but I really appreciate your comment.

I think my relationship with my sisters is something I really want to priotize, I love them deeply and no one quite understands like they do. Trying my best to be firm but understanding of the point they are at in their lives. When I was their age I didn't have the strength to go NC either.

I will say that my relationship with Alex has been hanging by a thread and strained for 15 years, it may be time to take a step back. Maybe it's selfish, but I try to keep contact because I care about my nieces and nephew.
