[@marlenaeva3813]

I watched this today and it has opened my eyes to why narcissistic families attack each other. The attack is mostly done when someone in the family refuses to play the family role. I did that and was attacked, gaslit, and smeared to my entire extended family. But what I've discovered is that, even when an adult child plays the role and stays in the family, he/she is still attacked by being gossiped or smeared to other siblings. So it's like, they're actually never happy with you no matter what, and they'll continue to think badly about you (adult child) until they die. I guess no one can change this destructive behavior but them. But I wouldn't have my hopes up for that to happen.

[@stephanieCl]

Thank you for summarizing it , The only attitude we can adopt is knowing in which category they belong, put each person in their category knowing that at the end of the day they are a United League, until some starts showing new constructive changes consistently...otherwise, low contact and gray rock and keeping your mental health/sanity as the most priority of your purpose on earth ...You are not alone. Have a blessed sunday

[@Lyrielonwind]

After three years of no contact I'm still wondering who of all my siblings is being forced to play doormat and if that would make them think about their toxicity or if they are playing all against all frenzy party. The never ending story cannot be stopped by one member refusing to play or at least, not in my family.

[@btfields323]

[@xrc7445]

And when they don't think badly of you, instead of being proud of you, they are jealous and attack even more.

[@teresahudson977]

Haters do not or can not change who they are. They are always going to be the same Ugly ass people they have always been. It took me many years to stop trying to get along with them. They treated me, my children and my granddaughter verry badly. Told rediculous lies that were very damaging to my reputation. When I threatened to sue for slander the chicken s showed their real selfs. They sure do not want anyone to hear the truth about them. NOT NICE PEOPLE!!! I do not miss the Trauma. I may be alone but I am at peace. I know I never did any of the awful things I was accused of. I am sorry that I gave them so much of my time wating for them to see the truth.

[@honkytears]

The first time meeting a friend's family, I witnessed how good they were to one another, that his dad didn't physically abuse him and/or accuse him of random, bizarre things, was like seeing bigfoot... I'd heard reports of such a thing, but never really entertained that it actually existed!

[@idontcare9797]

I know that feeling. Some families try and help their kids succeed instead of arguing, blaming and never helping the child too

[@madeleinegrayson8372]

I've actually gotten choked up and upset when suddenly confronted with families like that. It all comes flooding back, the affection and support I never had. Once my mother and her sister sat on either side of me after having essentially bait and switched me, so I'd show up for a change. They kept insisting that they were good people and a good family, saying everyone has their issues and no family is perfect, blah, blah, blah. I sat, nodded, said nothing, eventually left and have never showed up again. They know they're jerks. They're just upset that I know it and that my leaving the whole clan puts it on display.

Silence was, and is, expected of me, by Dad. He's evil, vile, sadistic. I don't trust him. He thinks this a huge joke, he got that brother in on it. They think it is funny. I was the focus of no-one's concern, for years. Dad's still pathetic, verbally and sexuallly abusive, emotionally, physically abusive, enmeshed with me, sexually.He is horrid! I call him on it; he ignores me, laughs. Is sadistic!

[@etaokha4164]

I remember 3 years ago when I moved out of my narc family home and got my own place because I was pregnant and needed my own space to raise my daughter, my narc family attacked me during my pregnancy and attacked me when I moved out because I was the scapegoat and when the scapegoat leaves the family suffers. I took my narc family to court and put restrictions on them for a year and that caused rage to my narc mother and she started the smear campaign and thought she was entitled to breaking the rules of my boundaries. I cut all contact with my family including my narc family. Been peaceful ever since and happily living my life without them.

[@unclecrunkle7]

wow. this really hit me. I was questioning if i was making things up in my head or if i was actually dealing with a narcissistic mother/ family system but this cleared it all up for me. when i was 18 i started dating my first boyfriend he was protestant and i was in a very catholic family. he started to ask me things about my faith causing me to look deeper into it on my own. after over a year of deep research i decided that i no longer wanted to associate with Catholicism and simply wanted to be a true Christian. i came to my mother with this and she relentlessly attacked me for months. her condition was that if i was in her house i had to go to catholic church. i tolerated it for a little bit, but i couldn’t take it at a certain point. i couldn’t take the constant verbal abuse and belittling from my mother so i sat down with her and told her i no longer wanted to participate in the church. my boyfriends family allowed me to stay with them since i wouldn’t be able to stay in my parents house due to the conditions she gave me. i don’t think my mom expected me to actually choose that option and she absolutely lost it. told me she will never ever support me and would not come to my wedding. told me she did not say things she blatantly said to me and my boyfriends face. used my nephew being sad i moved out against me. telling me i had no capacity to understand religion and could not make that choice for myself. criticized everything about me and told me i betrayed her and this is all my fault. pitted all my siblings against me. continues to send me catholic books. she was most worried about me making other people think she did anything wrong. this still continues to this day. i am getting married soon and she still refuses to come and is trying to convince my siblings to do the same. i am so tired of the constant invalidation and belittling. being told i’m not capable of making any of my own choices and that she will always be my authority. i am finally starting to heal from this, even though it is all very recent. thank you for helping me realize this isn’t all in my head.

I’m so with you! We moved 300 miles away after the birth of my 1st child. We had brief, obligatory supervised visits with my folks several times a year. The ONE time I left my 2 youngsters with grandma was the LAST. When I returned, less than an hour later, both my kids appeared very distressed. So, while immediately putting them into their car seats, my mom followed me growling, “they’re just like you were at that age.” Instead of staying the weekend at my sister’s as planned, I retrieved our things and drove straight home (300 miles). My 2 toddlers and I spent a total of 12 hours in the car that day (with meals & potty breaks). Most of the drive back, while my youngsters vented about grandma being mean to them, I reassured them how good they were and grandma must have been I’ll. That ONE time reinforced the wise decision we’d made to move and raise “our” family. I did not have the faintest idea about narcissism, scapegoating etc. I was young then. Btw I’m still the scapegoat of that family! But I’m the happiest mother and grandmother ever! Take good care of you and yours and don’t be afraid of moving on and away from your broken family!

You have given me so many good strategies at coping with the problems at hand. Sadly my family is fragmented and everyone has to fend for themselves emotionally for many years. My narc. mothers nonsense killed my father early. My naive and emotionally distant Dad did not how to handle this woman.

He is not able to face that my mother has been causing trouble for all of us forever. It is a hopeless situation...but because he is her executor, I can at least walk in some kind of light and hope for myself and he feels confident he can make all decisions on my mom's final years.

My mom never wanted me when I was born it was traumatic for her..her plans for her life ruined. (I found out later) it was 7 more years before my brother was born. He became her crowning achievement. I became the "sibling who would hurt her brother". ..as we grew naturally I was held to higher standards, received regular beatings for anything I did wrong. I left home at 20 to marry- mostly to escape. I didn't realize he was just like my mom. In the meantime my brother never ever was beaten, nor subjected to hours long lectures on all my sins. He got cars, anything he wanted (I had learned to never ask for what I wanted as it meant I'd never get it)..college paid for etc. When my parents came into money, they bought him a house. They asked what my balance was on my house ( less thsn half of what they paid for my brothers house), but they said "oh, no, thats too much.". They then bought themselves a big property and I was told, its about what we paid for brothers, so one day it will be yours. Then, my dad gave it away. When he died, he had named me executor. However, almost immediately my mom started in on making my brother either co-executor or sole. I let her know I was hurt by that. She smirked (!@) and said well, I wouldn't want thst. In the meantime they also gave brother lots of the furniture they had made, expensive jewelry dad bought mom etc etc...while I as usual got nothing. Mom finally sold the house they ended up with (on the property originally supposed to be mine) and moved to the city near my brother. Since then, I have struggled financially as I divorced 9 years ago. I have learned never to ask for financial help from my mom. I also keep communicating at a minimum. I also know to expect nothing when she dies as I know my brother will take the rest as his due, while I the scapegoat receives what I "deserve". It hurt but is what I need.

[@fredhubbard7210]

I thought I had it bad... That really sucks.

[@gracemcloughlin9305]

Sounds very familiar. Gave my life to my mom, but I could never do enough. My brother was always her favourite (and she tells me so). You have to grow a new parent, one that you should have had, and take care for you.

[@j.rebekah8605]

My mother, in her irresponsible ditzy act, leaves things in weird places where people trip, doesnt keep things clean, creates towers of hoarded boxes that she wont let anyone tidy up and its a safety hazard. Whenever i act on something she says, oh its not a good time to do that. Well, its never a good time. This particular project hasnt been touched in twenty years. I also wonder if i bring critical people into my life. My new friend is nice but wants to point out my physical flaws. Yes i have rosacea and a bunion! Why would anyone mention such things? Im also a beautiful woman! I feel like a lot of people are really unkind. Ive felt rejected a lot in the last few years. My fiance died, i moved back in with my mom and dad as a 45 year old, and i dont feel like i have any way out. I think i need counseling. I also have a lot of great things in my life.... Life is short, you're right! Thanks!

awesome video Jerry Wise, you've summed up my life in 40 minutes. I have been the scapegoat, attached, punching bag, mobbed, since 12 years of age basically my whole life(now in my 70's), I tried and tried became the 'people pleaser' to be accepted BUT nothing I did was ever accepted now I have walked away from the family (6 years ago) but it doesn't mean I am happy, one positive is that I have become very capable person which actually has caused jealousy with my sisters (the oldest sister has mental issues analysed by 2 doctors). My mum past away I was not even informed that she was dying I was totally excluded. Now my daughter has taken on the job of abusing me, being a single mum I went above and beyond to help and give my daughter everything possible due to not having aunties, cousins or her father there. True I don't understand 'boundaries' but I have walked away from my family including my daughter which is devastating as now I don't see my beautiful grandson. But I am not allowing any more attacks, bullying being their dart board even if it means never to see any of them again including my daughter and my beautiful grandson. Am I doing the right thing ? I am tired of being abused.

Great information, thank you. I know and have lived all of this. Never really felt the knife edge of all this until I became older, kids left for college, and no longer had the "family" that I could nurture,... As I reached to foo, wow! All the crap I ignored, denied, was just crystal clear. Hell childhood, wonderful young adulthood,(solo,), then with kids, everyone doted my kids,but when they were gone to school, I was sent directly back to the scapegoat penalty box, very eye opening, painful, and disorienting. Best to all of you/us TRYING to continue to grow as individual humans in this world where we are all trying to manage body, mind,emotion, and spirit. Love to all of you!!!

I’m struggling with my family. I’ve gone no contact but I went back to my mother who said something very destructive to me. I never went back since then and it’s been very hard for me, and you’re right, you can’t go back to a family who will not let you in so I’m just learning to be on my own and am coming to be who I am. But I have to admit how painful it can be and my husband is supporting me.

[@christineplaton3048]

It's painful but no one deserves to be under chronic attack. I stopped by avoiding them. I have PTSD, and anxiety. I have a daughter in law who has hated me and would never let my son near me without punishing us both. Over the years she has destroyed his personality and it affects him emotionally. He's not at peace and never will be, with her. She's a narcissist. It's very painful to navigate and It is serious, and to manage I have to avoid them. All the be as sweet as I could be never worked. I'm done with being attacked. I do not try any longer. I can live without my family is correct. It hurts, but exactly as you say, I deserve my inner peace. Thank you for validating exactly what I am living. Without a degree in psych, without proper navigation it's better to avoid them. It's a really difficult world. Narcissistic types of people are everywhere.

[@JenniferGreen-o8g]

❤ after the grieving of the unsupportive family is, maybe we can find a few people who are experiencing the same thing to sort of form a support for the person in recovery.🎉

[@diannerussell4849]

Psychology should be a standard subject taught in middle high schools for teenage students aged between 16 to 18 so that when they leave school and the family home they will be better equipped to recognise red flags in their family , at school, in the work place, at Colledge or when dating. I think a lot of people don't understand what constitutes as abuse or harrassment. Anyone who makes you feel uncomfortable thats a red flag. I seem to be a magnet for the mentally disturbed or for men who suffer from sexual delusion who think all I have to do is go down the road and pick up an instant girlfriend . Life doesn't operate like that in healthy thinking human beings. There are a lot of dysfunctional people out there in the world. As with bullies within the family, work place , church , social situations , school , if kids were equipped with learning The machinations of how some people operate and what is abuse and what isn't, we can disarm abuse and cut that person from our life before they cause harm.

[@jerrywise]

I wish more kids were taught this too. And hope this happens in the future. There is definitely more awareness today and even the awareness of adults could help to pass this on to their kids

[@TARAdubbleyuu]

[@elizabethdarley8646]

My family beat me up. I was the family scapegoat til this year. They smashed me up when I was 12 in front of all my 12 year old friends with no other adults there to witness it. I told the police and they said it is not abuse, just bad parenting.

[@Deezy619]

[@emmabalartvilanova1174]

I recognize the narcissistic estructure of my family since a year ago, but I could not see my mum as a narcise until two months ago: my sister tried to destroy my boundaries and I realized my mum was behind it. I left the dinner but by phone I make my mom responsable. A month later I had another lunch with the same members and everything was fine. My mum was trying to divide us and I am glad I realized it. I use to phone her everyday. Now I talk to her once a month. Really feel good. Very interesting the idea than the conflict comes from a need of the family structure!!!💡 Thank you very much!!!🙏

My adult children and everyone else have smeared my good name to the point of suicide too. These people are insane, And want my Soul. However my father started in my childhood I knew he would die hating me. To my surprise we actually became very close for the 5 years before he passed away. So suicide is currently not a choice but getting as far away from them now is essential.

[@christinerobertson9596]

This is so incredibly helpful. I am the attacked one in my family- Mother, daughter , ex, and even son to a degree attacks my character. Daughter who is enmeshed with Narcissistic ex denies me contact with her and my grandchildren. Is a husband who has avoided intimacy with emotional distance and has had a secret pornography addiction a form of attacking? (Husband is 8 1/2 months sober from the pornography.) He "assures" me he's done forever. Mother is the controlling ring leader triangulating with MY family: exes, husband, children, etc... Thank you for this!!!!

I am the scapegoat of a Narcissistic family. I am also codependent (breaking it after a lot of therapy) and have ADHD and CPTSD. Both of my adult sons have been told half truths about me their entire lives by their Malignant Narcissistic father , my Narc sister and Mother- I was told for years by counselors to keep them away and I didn’t want to take them from cousins etc . They are also narcissistic with my oldest being severely narcissistic, and my 19-year-old following suit. They look at me like the cause of all of the problems, and no matter how many times and try to be accountable for their experience with me, self, reflect, and tell them how sorry I am for my past choices with toxic men and my alcoholism. I will never live past the box they’re putting in. I had no boundaries, I let my family mock me tease me, and it was my job to be the peacekeeper, doormat and family counselor for the most part. Now that I have healed and trying to put my life together with 10 years of sobriety, it’s like it’s too late. Any boundary is me power tripping now. There’s no accountability for the words or actions of the treatment that is being done to me by my adult children, and I realizing they believe stories that are untrue from their father That I never thought they even knew. Everyone often tease me our name called me around them when they were growing up because I had dysfunctional toxic relationships and struggled with alcohol , of course I took blame. If I became stronger or better is when the abuse got worse. I’m a Christ follower and have become a new creation, but my children will not see that. They still gravitate towards their father, who has neglected them for most of their life with me I guess just as a bank. I think I’ve gotten so good at gaslighting myself that I’ve made it my problem and have sent so many emails begging for them to go to counseling with me and trying to be accountable for anything that they believe at this point even if its not true. God has given me a lot of healthy friends, and Church family that are not toxic and I am 100% better than I was for most of my life back then. Putting up boundaries with my sister and going no contact who is severely narcissistic and did a lot of damage, and my mom has been the most freeing for me. My youngest son used to say that he saw the toxicity, and then he met a girl who was just like them, and now he is treating me the way that they do. It’s hard not to let it get me down. I certainly don’t want to be a victim, I just want to know that I’ve done everything I can. I have no problem taking accountability for my part at all. I’m just care that my boys stop hurting inside. I wish I could turn back time and do everything different but I can’t.

[@widyaniswar]

So true, as my mom is getting old, suddenly older sister started accused me eyeing the inheritance. It is like she wants to keep the equilibrium that I will always be their scapegoat by her and my eldest sister. I forgive my mom and my sisters, but I set my healthy boundary and will not allow myself to be an easy bull-eye target anymore. I did try all my best for years to be a good youngest sister and member. Yet it didn't work because they don't want to change their toxic action. I don't hate them. I just DON'T ALLOW THEM ANYMORE TO PLACE ME AS THEIR EMOTIONAL ABUSE SCAPEGOAT. I already did my best to be the best among my siblings, YET mom has never enough and only have transactional relationship with me. Yet my mom treats my 2 sisters as her beloved children, even though they did't achieve anything. Since last year I minimize communication, and thankfully I live in a different country from my mom and 2 sisters, it helps. Am at peace.

i am not the only one on the family they have 'hated on" and been mean to and ghosted but it feels like I am the only one . I am so hurt by them. they have judged me and punished me. I do this to others too. I think we are all as bad as each other. I am NC officially after being outed decades ago. they think it is all my issue. I feel like they also gas light and bully me. They have also smear campaigned me to others. And yet in the scheme of things I cannot see what I have done to any of them that is that bad. My inner peace has def evaporated, they make me emotionally and physically ill. I am an adoptee so they are not my clan anyway but I have no doubt learnt similar behaviour as them growing up.

It is difficult to break free of enmeshment, but not impossible. If you're the family scapegoat and you continue to push the envelope of your own personal life, they will get so disregulated that they do something that makes you feel exiled.

Thank you so much for this, Jerry Wise! I loved the learning and took notes. This is the first time I've heard the topic of families who attack, addressed in a public way. I'm so happy to witness your exploration of this topic - happy for me as I rise up and happy for our collective mental health. The ancient silence around this issue, while understandable and at times necessarily protective of those of us who are targeted, must, I feel, be broken at times, not only to allow healing to happen, but also to let abusers know we see what's going on and it's unacceptable.
