Narcissistic Parents Exploit Scapegoat Child by Focusing on Symptoms They Cause/You're Not Crazy!

Lisa I am the scapegoat of my narcissistic family, and I woke up at 25 after realizing I was leading in a narcissist woman. I appreciate you so much for your videos. They have helped me a lot throughout the years. I am 27 now and I moved away from my family.

Absolutely brilliant. Very interesting and well articulated. Important message. My past anger and behaviour is due to these parents neglect of self reflection and responsibility. They have thrived off my anger and it destroyed every aspect of my life. Now I see it all so clearly I no longer get so angry, the skin problems don’t occur, the anxiety has gone and I’m powerful and at peace. No one has any power over me. Thankyou 🙏😊❤️🔥

I cant stay in any toxic, narcissistic relationships, friendships anymore. I was getting sicker and sicker to the point my nervous system broke down. Both my parents are narcissistic, both are alcoholics but denied it all my childhood. Mum admitted it 12 years ago, shes passed now, and my dad has only just admitted it at 87, he drinks red wine at 11am everyday till he goes to bed. He pits me and my sibling's againt each other and I've gone no contact with him because he's cruel to me and im done. I put me first now and i make no excuses for it, i was really unwell for along time, mentally, physically and spiritually. Im glad im aware im recovering from co/dependentcy thanks to watching your videos. Thankyou Lisa. ❤

[@djignatin4043]

My mother is a covert narc. I have been no contact for years. I live with my Dad who is passive aggressive. I know all about feeling invisible. Thank you Lisa. Very Very good video.

[@MarinoTarot]

you had exactly the same childhood like me. even down to the nuns at school. I am 43 now and i have asthma, psoriasis and celiac disease. And i cant get out from my toxic parents home because i did not get a job in 3,5 years even after going through more than 3000 applications and about 1500 application interviews. being broke gets you stuck in a home.

I learned, the hardway over the last 4 years, when finally mo mother imsulted me terribly on my bday, I knew she meant to do nothing but harm to me. I put my foot down and stated an apology was in order or the relationship was over. She never did. We habe fought several times and sh ehas twisted to narrative to totally avoiding the offense (which was just really done to me all my life in many different ways, many versions of the same thing) and speaking of things from when I was a child or a teenager. My mother was neglectful, abusive, and self-centered. She completely ignored me, and if I was upset, would not respond to me in anyway, except to be angry with me or tell me, I probably deserved it. My mother was not a nice woman, and I for gave her because from my point of you, I really didn’t understand why she was such an unhappy woman. None of it mattered, and when I realize that I’ve cut her off, and I no longer speak to her, but she doesn’t actually care. It doesn’t bother her. One of the last thing she said to me was “we don’t even bring you up because you’re such a problem“ now mind you I was the only child in the family that actually finished high school went to college and became a professional. Two of my brothers were in and out of trouble with the law and the other one stayed in his hometown and worked at the mill. None of them ever really left. I have for this woman vacations, spending money gifts. Trying to make this black hole, happy, and all the time as soon as I was of no use to her, meaning, she simply could not get her way with me telling me what to do demanding I do this or that she was just done. She really didn’t care That was the most sobering thing I think I’ve ever experienced. It took me a couple of years to really get over it. But for those of you out there, still struggling, once you realize the person you’re trying to get to feel something for you doesn’t care by the way they’re treating you, it gives you the right to walk away guilt free

[@xenatron9056]

It was amazing just how 'bad' my siblings became when I ran away from home when I was 13. suddenly it became obvious that I wasn't as bad as them, but heck.... we can't go there..... I broke up the family. I caused all the problems. 50 years later, I wrecked Mum's funeral by attending. GONE GONE GONE. Some things can never be resolved, no matter how much you go out of your way to be who they need you to be in order to keep the dynamic alive.

I know I need to accept my parent's for who they are (whatever that is), but I'm noticing that is way more difficult than it looks, Can't seem to stop yearning for some good stuff as if that's the only key to my healing and being able to move on. But I find I'm still frustrated when it appears they are doubling down on stupid.

Thank you. Im learning to actively do things that would make me like and respect myself more. The things are surprisingly more unchartered than you imagine. I understand what self esteem actually means now in my middle age. Im grateful for this new awareness. The timing of my watching this video is pretty incredible. I am working on loving myself enough to use my awareness to actively up-level my life and not just give up because I missed the boat. I have so much rage and anger in me.

I feel sick to my stomach. It was done to me. It was done to my daughter and the worst part is I unknowingly stupidly, participated in it for a bit. I was catering to my mother like everyone else was. I feel so heartbroken. There’s no excuse. It was my job to protect her Yes the assumption was I could trust my parents, but I was complacent and I should’ve seen it. I fear it’s too late. she’s 18😥

Hello I’ve listened to many many videos from others including you. I think you are the only one that has given me real insight. My parents were very loving parents but I can see where my mother was codependent and I myself now am that way as I now have a long term relationship with a narc. Just beginning to see this. After almost 2 decades, I actually am beginning to get answers and a lot of it has to do with YOUR insight on the matter. I love your voice and the way you present your videos thank you so much!❤

[@makethatchangelifecoaching4009]

This is how I was treated and didn't realize it was wrong or a problem because it was all I knew, strangest thing though her best friend treated her children the opposite, with so much attention and when we were at her house which was a lot on weekends, my mother was more attentive. I also see a pattern where if she felt I didn't give her the attention she needed she got upset. I also notice that I was a sensitive child and she didn't embrace rather rather picked on me for it

Lisa you have just described my childhood I am now 51 too young adult children, and two failed long-term relationship behind me because I cannot do relationships because of my past. I’m still seeing a counsellor after all the videos and have been following your channel very closely for the past few years. Also you are so helpful. I also have a big platform on TikTok which I follow you on but mostly on KZbin here. I have become very much addicted to TikTok and can’t seem to delete the account. As every time I’m worried about something this addiction takes place. I wish I could just delete the whole account. I still see my parents but I still resent them. Thank you so much for all of your help Lisa. It is invaluable x

[@AdamantlyAdams]

I could never get to the good part of life around my mother and her husband. So, when I gained intelligence and went no contact with her and her husband, life away from them got better. I still carry the symptoms that they caused. Today I can spot where I was disassociated and when I was distorted. Lisa, I love how you used your childhood as an example. I too didn't matter to my mother and I feared being whipped like a slave. Great video content! Thank you, Lisa for sharing ❤

[@tinkingtinking2134]

I agree to a degree but I believe there is a difference between being a selfish and self centred person and Narcissistic Personality Disorder. People with NPD don't have empathy and only think about their own feelings, they can't relate to anyone else's emotions or pain and you serve their needs, they don't serve yours unless there's something in it for them . Your an option not a priority.

[@l.5832]

And when the American Indian parents were narcs, they would say "We never did anything!". Please don't make narcissism a cultural or race issue. I am white. I went to a psychiatrist due to abuse at home. Psychiatrist wanted to interview my narc mother to ask her "What did you do to her?" My narc mother, of course, said "Nothing". The psychiatrist did nothing different than the Indian medicine doctor. And narcs will always plead innocence regardless of their nationality.

@@tinkingtinking2134 I have been awakened to the dangers of people using unfalsified information to coerce and manipulate others into narcissistic systems; such as spiritual cults. This is a dangerous path to walk down. The reason people are so prone to narcissistic manipulation, is because they lack the psychological security and tools needed to debunk falsehoods, or refrain from agreeing/people pleasing without admitting that they're not sure of the information they're being given.
