Abuse

» sienna1942 - My son is a narcissist

I am a single parent who finally after years of trying to guide a narcissist - to teach a narcissist - to get a narcissist counselling - had to get out and still haven't come to any true healing. Is there someone there who has had a family member or someone close who was a narcissist who can be of help to my healing. It is such a shock to the mind, the soul what my son said and did and finally accused me of that I still have tears that well-up and my heart constricts and I know that I am still not fully healed. I loved him so and his brother that he had such a terrible influence over. His brother has Aspberger's Syndrome (an umbrella term for many mental illnesses) and so he was a perfect person to cripple with his virulent tongue as well. I loved them both but I could not stand the abuse and the mental torture any longer. I still miss them terribly but I, at least, at this time don't blame myself for being a bad parent because I had to come to the realization that no one can raise a narcissist just as the md who originally diagnosed him told me. I didn't believe him - I do now - God help me! If any parent is out there who has suffered as I have and had to bow-out from the destructive relationship - don't fault yourself and don't let others fault you either - all anyone can do is do his or her best for their children and that is all. I am Sienna1942 and any help to my healing would be greatfully appreciated. Thank you.
