This explains narc parents to a T...they try to keep you dependent on them and at home so they can abuse you, confuse you and undermine you. Oh and the virtue signaling it's the worse!!🤮I hope this message spreads far and wide and helps people break free from all these toxic relations! Great video Kevin, sums up so much! ✨✨✨

Fantastic topic. I knew at an early age there was something amiss. I left home at 17 already addicted. Never went back but my brother stayed and has nearly died in jails and hospitals. I got sober 35 years ago only because I left my narc father and never went back. This description fit him to a tee. Thank you for explaining the thoughts I've had my whole life.

Not my parents, but my spouse. I could relate as I was an alcoholic for a good portion of my marriage. He always blamed my drinking but he was also a drinker. I quit drinking 5 years ago and he wasn’t exactly supportive. When I was sober 1 year he said congrats, I don’t understand why you would want to be sober but congrats. He continued to bring alcohol into the home every night and would drink. I did it one my own and he lost control of me. I am out of that house and almost divorced.

This is a great video Kevin and really resonates with me. When I had a breakdown aged 26, I was on medication and living at my parents home. My mum absolutely loved the control and the attention she was getting, I never felt she cared about me at all. Many years later after my marriage broke down, I looked up my old boyfriend. He had become a heroin addict and I helped him get clean. He lived with his mum and she was furious about my "interference". She had to get rid of me, and in the end I was glad to get out, the atmosphere there was so toxic it was unbelievable.

I am dependent on several medications-for chronic pain, migraines, severe depression and anxiety, etc. I literally cannot function without them in this toxic environment. In fact, as soon as I cross the bridge, over the dam-4miles from home, I HAVE to take a Xanax. Not knowing what I am going to have to face, or hear, or deal with when I walk through the door, instantly starts a panic reaction in my body. I can’t breathe-and I feel as if I’ve been punched in the gut. A feeling of dread consumes me…..every single time. There’s no peace-no safe haven waiting for me. Desperately trying to find my way out-before it’s too late for me. 😢😢😢

My revelation in 2022 came after I started praying for why I felt lonely despite having the company of my wife, our three children and nine precious grandchildren. I was promptly led on a journey with several odd occurrences leading to a Santa picture laying on my attic crawlspace floor next to a box with my mom's personal items that had been damaged by roofers 10 months previously. The picture was taken shortly after I was traumatized and it depicted my brother with a devious look on his face and our cousin who he abused sitting on Santa's lap, while I was standing in the forefront looking like my mind had just been blown. While Santa was giving my brother a dirty look. And the only relative who would tell me about what happened was my cousin, who said everyone was worried about me as I laid there bedridden for about two weeks after the incident.

I was like a soldier fighting a 12 year battle without any support during my abusive childhood. My perilous journey through life began when I was traumatized at 3 years old. Then I shared a bedroom with my abuser until my family moved away from the shit-show my mom's large refugee family put on every night for the poor people across the street. The only medical care I ever received was emergency care by young nurse who happened to be renting our rear apartment for the summer. The trauma effected my brain cortex, leaving me unable to connect to the web of human interaction, and unable to express myself as I navigated through a raging twelve year narcissistic emotional storm. I felt alone even though I grew up with sixteen children. My brother also targeted a cousin who ended up a janitor and an out patient at a mental health center. While his sibling heads the microbiology department at a prominent N.E. medical center. And then 10 years later, I had to navigate another raging emotional storm when I was targeted by a real life cartel connected Scarface. Who promptly split up my wife's 6 sisters. The three who became his flying monkeys all have substance abuse issues along with their children.

Oh man, Kevin, this hurt so much but it’s an important topic some of the experts have not addressed. Mad credit to you for taking this on. This triggers a lot of people for various reasons. I am an addict (still to alcohol and cigarettes, occasionally weed when my dad will be kind enough to drive me to the dispensary after taking away my vehicle. I live in the desert and my small city doesn’t have a great transportation infrastructure). My mom was addicted to gambling to cope with the emptiness and abuse she incurred from my dad, which I only began to understand after she died. He told me my whole life I was crazy, my mom was crazy. The system supports this stuff often with punitive measures in so-called ‘behavioral health,’ perpetuating the abuse and alienation. The pharmaceutical drugs, forced time in facilities, and ostracism due to YOUR problem just adds to the pressure and isolation. Super traumatic. I’m right to worry my drinking will kill me. I have no healthcare anyway and my dad has got me isolated and dependent on him. I am 45 this year, used to make 6 figures at a time, and graduated top of my college class in my late 20s after dropping out of high school due to being bullied. That’s when the addiction started and it’s not over because I don’t see how to escape. I tried to taper down recently, dependent on my dad to deliver the alcohol I wanted to cut down on. He brought me a bottle opener, as if to suggest,’ I know you’re going to fail.’ [And I want you to.] I am not religious and somewhat judged by family which includes religious clergy. However, I have found a lot of wisdom in the book of Job. I like tarot, as well, and ponder cards like Strength, Temperance, and the Devil while struggling with this alone. Dude, this is one of the most powerful videos you’ve done - you are killing it lately when I tune in. Thank you so much for speaking power to truth. I’ve got tons of numbers to call on a carousel but finding help feels impossible after years of pursuing leads to try to escape and heal. All I do is get shamed, wear myself out, and am patronizing-ly lectured about ‘coping.’ That is ALL I know. Healthy relationships don’t encourage you to shut up and ‘cope.’

I had thought so so many times she wanted me to drink. Yeah she was a narrasstic. Taking a good hard look back, she sabotaged alot of my teens and early 20s. They are very very dangerous people.

And Christian religion was the framework ...no problem w christ.. but have seen horrible things done in the name of Jesus and in the end I look like the crazy one being angry, and reacting from the trauma and abuse..cycling thru stoholm syndrome w the "christian church"

My ex was like this. Told Dr’s I had BPD. Never diagnosed with it, but because I got addicted to prescription pain meds, I wasn’t credible. He did everything possible to make it worse. Give me other drugs I didn’t ask for, would keep my medications locked up (take them himself) and then accuse me of taking them..putting me into deliberate withdrawal. This would go on every other month or so for years. And then would shame and verbally abuse me for it. It was 15 years of hell. I got clean for good 3 years after I left the marriage. 🤷♀️

I watched it play out with three of my wife's 6 sisters who became the narc's flying monkeys, along with a brother-in-law who also was a sneaky covert narc. They all still live on the same block where they grew up. The saddest part is that their children also have substance abuse issues. There was a fourth sister, the youngest who had been a flying monkey and after my mother-in-law passed away at 51, the environment became so toxic that they welcomed a weirdo into the family who married her and then sexually abused the narc's son. So the special family was more after they had helped pulled me back from the brink of oblivion after enduring 12 years of narcissistic abuse by my psychotic older brother, who I recently learned nearly killed me when I was 3 years old.

Sometimes you cannot stop an oncoming train. I lost my 31 year old cousin to heroine. He did listen to me and agree to go to rehab. Needless to say his mother has been bitter towards me ever since. Nobody knows what's going on in someone's head, it can be accidentally, but deep down if it's going to happen it will. Warnings, being brought back to life by the shot, etc., etc. That person is weak and if all avenues have been exhausted, why say why? It's a personal decision by that individual, weak or not.

This morning he was ok, then again he exploded on me. My heart started racing, i started shaking.every time i spoke his rage grew.accusations started flying.lies and ugliness towards me that i dont deserve. I told him to get out, im still trying to calm myself. I explain being around him like living in a washing machine, that suddenky hits the spin cycle..im left shattered. Each tirade adds fuel to his next. He is like a mama bear that attacks while you are strolling through the woods.. Its insanity.and ive lost my emotionsl and physical health to this. I have depression, anxiety and constantly fight the unworthiness he tries to impose on me. Nacissists are monsters.

You say: even Jesus left His mom, this is an awful comparison, because you yourself said that 'nobody is Jesus', in one of you video's and Jesus' mother knew He was Jesus from birth, and being divine she knew He had to leave her one day from His birth. Mary knew she was going to serve God: Luke 1:26-28 & 31-32 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary. And having come in, the angel said to her, 'Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call call His name JESUS. He will be great, and will be called the SON OF THE HIGHEST
