What do you do to recover from an NPD family member?

[Anonymous]

I'd really like to hear your experiences on this. In my case it was an NPD parent and they died a couple of years ago.

That is a relief, but in living my life some serious scars sometimes come up. What have you done to heal and recover?

Have you tried therapy, OP?

Yes but it was when my parent was still alive. It was all about survival, recognizing their dysfunction and moving to protect myself.

Survival can't be underestimated, but healing - especially from the negative projections - is different.
