This is what happened to my son who is 23 and she is 48 and was a friend of mine. All you say has happened although I really don't know what is going on because we don't have anything to do with her and hardly see him. So it is hard to know what their relationship is like but I know he is more distant month by month. It has been 1-1/2 years. He says he is happy and not to interfere in his life and we don't interfere but we see him less and less. It's so sad to lose him to this manipulating, toxic woman.

You've finally explained to me what has happened to our 33 year old son. He's been married for almost 7 years and has gone from a happy-go-lucky boy who would call me just to tell me something funny to "no contact" because we're the enemy now. He didn't even acknowledge his mother on Mother's Day or her birthday last year. My mother, who loved him dearly, recently died in our home, and we didn't hear one word from him or his wife. We are heartbroken.

Very Cruel. I don't even want to go near them this Mothers day. already anxious about it. It is awful, and Me and My husband do not deserve this.

As I look back in my narcissistic journey, everything Lisa was saying or just about everything was happening to me. It's a horrible horrible feeling to start out as a self-confident person and then be torn down brick by brick and then for good measure having someone who once told you they loved you smear your name everywhere with lies. I like watching Lisa's videos I'm hoping they will help inoculate me from ever making the same mistake I hope that that works. Oh shut down from any relationships and if I have my way it will be for the rest of my life but who knows. It would be nice to have someone to love and to call a friend. Narcissists are criminals

Narcs are evil people and covert narcs are the worst. To a normal person, you try to make sense of it. It's designed not to make sense. There is nothing you can do. Follow the Queen, she is dealing with 2 right now. Protect yourself. Grieve. Hard as it is, don't explain. They don't have any feeling and it's all your fault - in their eyes it will never be different. Stop spending money on them. Stop reaching out to them. They honestly do not care. If they cared they wouldn't do this to you. Build your life outside of them. Focus on giving to others more worthy of your presence.

My son was such a lovely person with an amazingly bright future ahead of him. He was joyful and kind. I even thought he might become a minister because he cared deeply about others and read constantly about philosophy, psychology, world religions and cultures, and so on. I went out of my way to warn my daughter about men who might not treat them well. But I didn't know to warn my sons about toxic women like this. I didn't know the warning signs and I didn't see them in my son's case (she seemed like a good person with an impressive resume at first). I love my children with all my heart. That my son is suffering in this way - and doesn't see it - and I can't tell him without making things worse - is very hard. "Crippling" is the right word. It doesn't matter what I say or do (I can say the sky is blue) it is made out to be an attack in some way - or - proof of my incompetence/malicious intentions. We weren't perfect parents - but we tried very hard to be supportive of our children. We led scout troops, coached sports teams, were room parents, and so on. We educated ourselves and gave them lots of room to find their own strengths in ways that were healthy and constructive. We got help/lessons/resources for them when they needed it. We really liked being parents and had a lot of fun with our children. Thank you for laying things out so clearly. I will follow your advice.

You have told exactly what I am battling with last two years with my wonderful son unfortunately married a narssistic wife. The pain and agony me and my son going through only God knows. The worst thing is my son is in the spell and looks at her like the best human in the world. She has changed his whole personality. Now lost all his self confidence, his achievements and also started to look at his family as worthless. My son was cream of the class all thro ugh school years and in university. She have made him talk like he is worth nothing. She has made him feel my family is worthless. It's so heart breaking to see what is happening and not able to save my son Thanks for all the coping strategies. It's very hard because the narssistic wants you to get out and it's like sailing against the wind. I will have to control my emotions and be in contact with my son.

Apparently this has become a huge socially acceptable thing to do among young adults. The stresses of life, our need to give them a happy childhood with no guarantees it would last into adulthood, their own poor self image & trauma from divorces gives them an excuse to blame us. Although this may have been happening for decades, the idea of individualism & identifying 'toxic' relationships makes it easier. It also affects the other siblings & grandchildren, which is tragic.

This is a heartbreaking situation Lisa. I am watching this with my son being manipulated by a total evil 😈 person. She is using my grand daughter as her supply now as I’ve finally twigged to her evilness. She gaslights my son constantly. She accuses my son of being an alcoholic while saying in the next breath ‘ oh I love your son ‘ .She’s tried to get me to side with her to discredit my son and I refused which set her off to making herself into a victim. She has disrespected my whole family whilst demanding we all show her respect. Hides things on me that I spend hours hunting for. Plays the victim non stop. Always has something wrong with her when it’s someone’s birthday. Is always going to the doctor with imaginary illnesses then leaves the information from the doctor lying around the house in obvious places so we’ll see it. Is only interested in my health so as she can talk about her own supposed ‘health’ issues. Takes my grand daughter to see her mother all the time but puts such guilt on my grand daughter if I ask her to come to mine. She is an evil force and I wish my son would wake up to her abuse and leave the horrible b§£ch. She wants from my son all the time, expects him to run after her. She is unbelievably evil. It is crippling to watch my son in this evil 😈 situation and I’ve been trying to figure out for years why the hell he married her and now thanks to your videos I have got it figured. It is criminal abuse and she is abusing my grand daughter with her guilt trips and making her emotionally dependent on her. She is very manipulating and knows how to intimidate my son to make him stay with her. Right now I couldn’t care less if she fell off the ends of the earth and I never see her again. How do we get our children away from these vile creatures ?

Oh my god you are so so spot on with this. This is exactly what’s happened with my son. There are lots of us, we are a large family and my children have been brought up with cousins being more like siblings and aunts and uncles being other parents. We have always been very close and the best of friends. My 3 children alone had the best relationship I’ve ever known. I was so proud of my family and how close and loving they all were. Then my daughter in law came along. She met him online and has even admitted that there were several men she was speaking to but seeing as she was studying physiology she gave them a test and my son passed. I’m not sure what this test was until now. And he was bullied dreadfully at high school so it all fits in. Anyway she has now convinced my son that he had an abusive childhood and that his sisters hate him and that his dad and I are toxic. Nothing could be further from the truth. We live our kids and even practiced passive parenting and we believed this was why our children were such amazing people and why they were so close. But she’s now convinced him that we are evil. Not just us but his whole extended family. Cousins who he grew with as best friends and more like brothers. He has blocked us all from any communication at all. I cannot explain how broken I am over this. They had a baby 6 months ago and they won’t let us see him saying they are safe guarding him from our toxicity. My heart is broken and I cannot even function properly anymore. From the day he was born we’ve adored him and gave him nothing but love. His dad and sisters are so sad and I cannot even look at them without crying my eyes out. Why would she want to do this to our family? We had only just lost my mum when she took him away and I think the loss of his nana helped her to be able to get into that wound. Why are people so evil? How can we get our lovely son back. The mildest, kindest, most loving man in the world is now so aggressive and cold hearted. We have been to his house and we asked him what is it that we have done? He cannot answer, just tells us to leave that we’re not wanted there. How can we get him back? As a family we are all devastated and as his mother I am dying inside. I just want my mum now and want to be with her wherever she is as this life is far too cruel. We thought this lady was so nice and honest and we were so pleased for our son; how wrong we were. If anyone has been thru this and can offer any advice I would be so grateful. My heart is just smashed into a millions shards. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

My heart goes out to you and yours and i hope with all that i have that one day we will message each other to say that its all been sorted but for now its (absolutely not nice to know) but nice to know there is someone who may possibly understand even a fraction of what I’m feeling as a mother. I totally relate to you saying about your other children. Our daughters have said they feel as tho they’re not worthy in some way because their dad and I are so stuck on our son and what he’s done to us. But its the loss of one of our children who seemed to have always been three if you get me. We adore our girls so much but we cannot help being sad over the loss of our son. We have to understand tho that they’re grieving him too. Its just so bloody difficult! Patricia i know I seem to be another universe away but if you need to talk I’m here for you. I wish you could pop over for a cup of tea and a chat that would make my day. I’m not sure how to send you my number without making it public, i will ask one of my daughters tomorrow (its 1.33am here) and i will get my number to you so we can message easier or maybe video call. Thank you so much for reaching out to me Patricia I truly appreciate it. All the very best wishes for you and yours. ❤️❤️❤️ If you add me on Facebook, i can direct message you with my number xxx🙏 Estelle Grove

As parents of a child going through this situation we need more help dealing with the pain of not being able to help or open their eyes. They start isolating them from friends, then family and at the end they believe everyone is against them. It’s a horrible pain, like they have been kidnapped.

I'm going through the same thing. I thought I was going crazy. The emotional pain is unbearable. I gave up my life in one city to move to another to support my son because he asked me to support him as his girlfriend was having my first grandchild. I was living with them but she put tremendous pressure on him to move me out and complained about me non stop. Now I'm here in a different city far from my friends she has got her way and they moved me again far from them. Now I'm isolated no friends or family around me. When he does visit to fix something, she has him on a timer and constantly text him to see where he is and he runs back to her quickly to her. She doesn't like me touching my granddaughter. She spends a lot of time with her family and occasionally throws me a bone seeing my son and granddaughter. She has made me look like an imbecile to my son and I can't prove anything because nobody see's what she has done. There is so much to this story but I have a couple of friends on my side who are going through the same thing. I keep my mouth shut because my son will take her side and I will look like the bad guy. I pray my son comes to his senses soon. My heart breaks every day watching her treat him like this. He is my only child and I will be here for him till my last breath 😔 P.s he has bought her an engagement ring, my son is popping the question next week.

Yep, my new SIL is one. My brother has been taken away from our family and manipulated. It is really sad. At this point, I question if my brother is either a covert narc or if he has taken on a lot of her traits over the years they have been together. She is moving him across the country this week. I found out through mutual family members. She belittles him every time I see them which has not been in nearly 9 months even though they live 20 minutes away. Because of what I have learned about narcissism over the years, I have stopped trying to engage and am focused on healing because anything I say or do will be used against me.

I am going thru this situation right now, and thank God I am armed with my ex narcissist abuse. The best way is to totally act opposite of how the narcissist wants. This will disarm the narcissist. He wants me to lose my cool, I acted like nothing happened. He wants my daughter to believe I am against him, I welcome and took extremely good care of him., so my daughter can see with her own eyes and not believe what he said. By doing what is totally different than expected will let you take back control and delayed whatever plan the narcissist have in mind to destroy your child. And your unconditional love will overcome the evil. This will also confused the narcissist and outsmart them.

OMG Lisa, thank you 😢😢😢. It’s as if you were in my living room & listening me & my husband. We have only 1 child and he is married to a narcissist and therefore we only get to see our only grandchild 2-3 times a year, if we are lucky. We are just devastated, heart broken and I, the grandmother, am a mess. AND our second grandchild will be born in Sept 2021. We had our son late in life due to infertility so we are already 68 & 65. I am going to counseling fortunately with a doctor that is in a very similar situation as we are. Thank you thank you thank you. I can quit blaming myself now and take your advice. Even though I want to kidnap my son & grandson and run away with them. I won’t. We will play it cool like you said and my counselor will help us to deal with the pain. The only thing you didn’t mention is that we feel as tho we have lost our son, not just our grandson. I miss my son terribly. And that his life must be a living hell. Not to even mention what this is doing to the sweet innocent children. While the Narc was raging at me, I was crying and the 3 year old was NOT affected by it at all. He stared at me at first and then he went onto play and ignore her, like nothing was even happening and he appeared to be used to this kind of atmosphere, emotions, screaming, name calling, tears etc. it didn’t not upset him as I thought it would. Poor babies life must be awful. Our retirement years have been ruined by this horrible horrible nightmare situation. My husband will be watching your video tonight. He is my biggest supporter and my ROCK. Thank God for helpful kind people like you. ❣️

Absolutely spot on Lisa but there is one scenario which we found ourselves in - Our son was a serving officer in the British Army and had two tours of duty in Afghanistan - they were tough tours and he saw things none of us would want to see. He said before his first tour that he didn't want a girlfriend worrying about him as it was bad enough having his parents worrying. He met her a few weeks before going and she clearly not only love bombed him but us and his friends also. She convinced him that she was his saviour from the traumas of war and took him to live many miles away from us, married him and had their first child. Our first grandchild is nearly 5 and we have not seen her for 4 years. If we walked into a room full of children, we could not pick her out. She is now pregnant with their second child. He is not allowed to send photographs and it is so hard to curtail your anger and sheer hatred of her. Sadly it took us far too long to realise what she was - a narcissist! She exhibits all the classic symptoms which we now understand - grandiosity, lack of empathy, superiority, arrogance, exploitation and her need for validation. We try and keep the channels of communication open with him and appreciate your advice to remind him when we can of his life before "her"! Everyone suggests the wheel will fall off eventually. I hope we are granted enough time to see it happen.

What you describe with the daughter and the man from another country is exactly what I'm going through. I feel like that could be my story. I was married to a narcissist for over 20 years so I recognized the signs when my got involved with a man she met online. She became obsessed with him and spent all her waking hours when not working face timing with him. He would pick fights constantly, and berate and abuse her for hours and when I finally stepped in, I became a target. She married him despite the constant verbal abuse and when she did that I cut off all contact with her. Now I look like the bad guy to friends who don't understand the whole situation. No one gets that I have done it out of self preservation. I never, ever want another narcissist in my life. I know that if I had maintained a relationship with her that I would be a constant target of his manipulations and vindictivness. Thanks for making this video. There's a lot of info out there about narcissist and how to spot them, beat them at their game, get away from them, recover from them etc....

She is a not only a narcissist on steroids but also has the borderline personality disorder feature of ‘splitting’ relationships. As they are expecting their first baby, the writing is on the wall that without any doubt her covert splitting will repeat with me and the grandchild. I will forgive their emotional elder abuse, but in my Bible study Chasing David, we learned that forgiving is a gift we give ourselves / which means letting go of the devastation that leads to bitterness. Nor do we ‘forget’ because behaviors not owned will repeat repeat ad nausium. 🙏🤕❤️‍🩹💔

When I visit (they live in another state), I have observed my 9-year grandson seriously dissociating. Her father is an overt narcissist who I divorced when she was 5. I recently divorced a covert narcissist after 40 years of marriage. I have been in therapy since for my codependency, including dozens of your videos. As I have set some boundaries, they are now giving me the silent treatment, and limiting the interaction/conversations I can have with my grandson. They are in their mid-50s; I am soon to be 75 and am finally personally happy and independent. Should I just be satisfied that’s enough?

The more we know the farther we can endure while waiting for our lost ones to return. Hopefully, sooner rather than later we mend ourselves and become a guiding light when they are ready. The Narc in my daughter's life was my adoptive mother who did everything as Lisa said and drove a wedge between our relationship with mental cruelty, financial corruption, I was disowned and exiled. Narcs only desire to assume total domination over their target. I would never think that my daughter would have forsaken our relationship for this woman, I was wrong, I have mixed feelings because I have cptsd so separating how I felt when I was injured as a child also feeling abandoned by my adult daughter is tricky, I am working on bearing all that hurt it literally hurts my heart muscle. It was My choice to keep my daughter in the dark about my history ... Ignorance is Not the Bliss as they say so how do we mend moving forward, slowly. Emotional Hygiene, Happie

Thank you so much for this, Lisa!! I have been struggling with heartache because my older son has married a narcissist. What you are describing is what he is going through. I feel responsible because this was the dynamic of me and his father.

Thank you, Lisa. As I sit here crying and missing my beautiful daughter, who now hardly speaks to me, and withholds my three gorgeous granddaughters, I realise how toxic it's all become. Christmas was all planned to be at our home last year and she was finally free of him, after 7 long years of abuse, and was working hard to move on with her life. She and her three little girls finally had plans and she vowed and declared that he'd cheated on her for the last time, that his narcissitic abuse would not continue and that finally, she would be free. Then, just before Christmas, she changed her plans for Christmas Day. She wasn't coming after all. I understood that. So I delivered their gifts to their home. And there, in the driveway was his big bus! I knocked on the door and Miss Sixyearold opened it. "Hi, Nana. What are you doing here? You shouldn't be here!" "I've just brought your presents down for Christmas." "We're not coming to your house now, Nana. We're all going away in the bus, with Daddy. AND we're having a baby!" My heart feels broken. We've been through this SO MANY TIMES! I feel like I can't do it any more. I'm tired. I've had enough of my daughter's abuse over the past 7 years, with wild accusations about who and what I am. I've watched him hurt my granddaughters and my daughter so badly. I need finally, to look after me. I'm an empath! I've looked after everyone else, including her father for many years, who was also a narc! I feel guilty for even feeling this. But I'm tired!! Will she ever come back? Will it ever resemble what we had? Will she ever feel kind towards me again?

I have experienced this , one generation down. Two of my granddaughters have had exploitive relationships with the men they have had relationships with. The problems with the grandchildren have been never ending. One of them has even lost custody of her four children due to the relationship with the narcissist . Then to add insult to injury , the grandmother (a step grandmother) who has 100% in control is also quite controlling and possibly narcissistic herself. There is a great deal of jealousy involved there. I often wonder if she has no empathy for the children at all. There seems to be a huge number of these personality disordered people out there in the wild, because almost everyone out there has lost several years of their lives dealing with one of these guys.

My ex weaponized my family against me. Now, 20 years later, they are all still in touch and I've been estranged ever since the divorce started. My sons were still with me but they have both been involved with abusive women who used their deep childhood wounds to control them, and the cost was tremendous. Hard for me to understand my own parents reaction when this was happening to me.

So much of what I read here reminds me of my daughter and son in law. My son in law is a vulnerable narcissist, but with a couple grandiose narcissistic traits. I've come to realize that my daughter always had a few vulnerable narcissistic traits, but she had so many defenses against those tendencies, and was a loving, empathetic person. No longer.

Lisa, Great video and timely! As parents, we should not continue to suffer in silence. I think anyone's child can be ensnared by a narcissist. However, I do not believe that there could always be issues such as insecurity, etc. It can also be a an immediate situational issue that we might be clueless about about. No one's child is safe. I recommend studying Steve Hassan's BITE model and almost all targets of cults/narcissists fit this model. I absolutely agree--this is criminal. I think legislation should be passed criminalising this insidious abuse, but education has to be a part of things.
