[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My BIL and my former boss.

I had to go to therapy for the boss because being in a subordinate position to them meant that a bought completely into their system of vulnerability and manipulation. It was like brain washing. I have not seen them in almost 6 years and I still sometimes become fearful they are displeased with me. It’s horrible.

However, in getting treatment I also discovered my BIL has vulnerable narcissist traits as well and it’s almost helpful. Because he is not in a position of authority over me. So I basically get constant practice with detaching from him when he dies this, which in a weird way helps me mentally with recovering from the abuse I experienced from my boss.[/quote]
Hugs. I’m so sorry that you experienced this. I experienced something similar with a former boss. She hired me when I had just moved to the US and I felt so grateful - even though I was over qualified for the position. It took me a while to figure out that she is narcissist. It didn’t hit me how much it affected me until I started working for my current boss - who treats us with kindness and respect - and I find it almost disorienting sometimes. [/quote]
