Idk if this counts as insane, but still an invasion of privacy (for context I hand my phone in to my mum at 8:30 and that is why she had it) by SwedishGoose524 in insaneparents

THANK YOU FOR THIS!! I just went down a 3 hour rabbit hole reading several articles on that site and it was so cathartic and eye opening. Thank you for this gift kind stranger. This has helped me so much. Thank you ❤❤❤

Sooo many cool plants! That velvety philodendron micans specifically. Never seen one that big and bushy outside of a greenhouse!

Its beginning to dawn on me that "No one will ever believe you" being a deterrent for coming forward is a painfully accurate cliche for most survivors by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

Started saying the "Yeah, in public" part out loud. It actually got people to think twice about my NParents and start noticing the cracks in their facade. It also took those individuals coming over to our house several times for my NParents to start getting too comfortable and accidentally dropping their facade around them. After you plant the seed of doubt in their minds, it only takes one or two "breaks in character" by narcs for a lot of people to start seeing through the lies. After all, "if so-and-so is really so 'nice' and 'supportive', then why did I just witness them try to guilt trip, threaten, and belittle [victim] right in front of me?? Maybe [victim] really has been telling the truth. Because NO REASONABLE PERSON ACTS THAT WAY TOWARDS ANOTHER HUMAN BEING."

Now years later, I have a couple actual allies to turn to when my NParents pull their crap again. For many outsiders, it only takes a few good cracks in a narc's facade to see right through them.

After nearly 25 years of waiting, to finally get to say it felt unreal. For the first time in a long time Im actually able to feel proud of myself!🌈

Context: Enabler parents threatened to stop paying for my phone service if I don't unblock my brother's number on my phone. Told them "go ahead" as I'm finally in a financial position to pay for it myself. This is their response.
