Understanding the narcissist emotional age helps put some things into perspective. A young child throwing a temper tantrum is irritating but something to be expected as a part of normal development. A full-grown man behaving in an angry, irrational way is just frightening and dangerous. I don’t know how to stop that but at least I know the narcissist is reacting in an abnormal way to life. I no longer blame myself for his reactions. I’ll keep getting better but he will always be a narcissist.
brilliant. thanks. my husband is the same way. eye-opening.

It can be so easy to become distracted from the healing process when dealing with a narcissist. They love for any and all attention to be on them, whether negative or positive. They can’t stand for anyone who was formerly, and intricately involved in their toxic world to be healing and growing. I have thwarted many attempts by my ex-narcissit to derail my progress with his creation of chaos, drama and now the neglect of my child, who unfortunately shares his blood. It is so important to be reminded that these creatures will never be well. But we will. Thank you, for the reminder and your courage to speak out, share your insight, and your story. Xoxo
