[quote=Anonymous]I relate to this so much. I envy my friends who can have a normal conversation with their parents or ask for advice or just a listening ear. I never had that. I can barely even fathom what that would be like. My parents will never be my friends as we age. Thank God for therapy and chosen family. I still struggle with self-esteem, being able to ask for help, and truly trusting people. Narcissistic abuse is the gift that keeps on giving -- I have to always stay on top of my self-talk and patterns of thinking, otherwise, I devolve into the kid I was at home, being told I was useless, stupid, worthless, unlovable. The last thing I want is to perpetuate that abuse. Sending love to anyone with parents like this. It's so hard, and people with functional families really struggle to truly understand what it's like.[/quote]
