					<description><![CDATA[Thank you Melanie. In my case the narcissists are my mom and my older brother and I only discovered it two years ago, when I was 57. I haven&#039;t seen him for 18 years; fortunately I took the decision of breaking with him forever even when I had no idea why he criticized me and hurt me so badly. Of course he hasn&#039;t stopped doing is best to devaluate me and put the rest of the family against me. The thing is I don&#039;t want to stop seeing my mom now (even if I have, several times, for years) because she is 91. Fortunately now she sees how ill and damaging her son is because he can&#039;t hide his ambition and need to control. The idea that my beloved brother died many years ago and was replaced by this soulless person, has helped me a little to suffer less. Much much love an thanks to you &#060;3 &#060;3 &#060;3]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I hate to think where I&#039;d be without NARP and Melanie to navigate this soul destroying thing with my children. I&#039;ll spare you the big story but for having followed her advice, I can vouch it&#039;s the way to come out the other side with your sanity and a life worth living with or without your children. So grateful for having been shown the way because it really is not an obvious one.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[My eldest daughter did her last Narc trick in October 2019 at her daughters wedding, my eldest granddaughter.

She&#039;s always had &quot;moments&quot; as I used to call them but the way she screeched at me 15 minutes before the ceremony was the final straw and I haven&#039;t spoken nor contacted her since.

When she &quot;comes a callin&quot; I&#039;ll be polite but distant because I know for at least 12 years now how much like her father and his mother she was but even though I knew they were Narcs, after discovering Melanie, I didn&#039;t/couldn&#039;t put her in that same boat.

Well the wedding scenario really proved just what a &quot;nice&quot; person she wasn&#039;t and I didn&#039;t deserve any more of her disgusting behaviour, I already had been through 2 lots of it and that was enough, actually 3 when you count her Narciness.

NO! I don&#039;t grieve her non-prescence because I haven&#039;t had that since she was around 16yo so what is there to be missed? At this point she&#039;s hiding behind her second husband letting him be the scapegoat, don&#039;t we all know that one.

I&#039;m lucky in that here children are in their late 20&#039;s and early 30&#039;s and even though they&#039;ve been lied too and fed utter BS about me we do have a reasonably good relationship and I&#039;ll see them  both on Boxing Day for some hours. 

I can&#039;t wait as I have had a Great Grandie born in early May and due to CV-19 I haven&#039;t met her yet. So lucky me I&#039;ll get to see them all without the Narc trying to divide us.

I still love the great bits of my daughter, but not for one moment do I miss the second guessing I had to do to work out what I had done wrong, if I had done anything wrong. It was like life with her fathers mother but the only difference was the grandmother used to go silent and my daughter screams and yells.

The feeling of being at one with yourself that you get when you get past a Narc is so wonderful it&#039;s like floating on air even though at times you hit rock bottom when you surface that wonderful returns.

Hang in there and do the work and you&#039;ll be amazed at how much you enjoy your own life and how content you will become. NO, it&#039;s not easy and YES you&#039;ll fall down but then you&#039;ll pick yourself up, dust yourself off and enjoy life even more.

If I can do it after 42 years with the father, and a further13 years before I ditched her then anyone can do it.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://blog.melanietoniaevans.com/narcissistic-family-member-go-no-contact-or-not/#comment-1259763&quot;&gt;Sadie&lt;/a&gt;.

Hi Sadie,

sweetheart you have been through so much, and my heart goes out to you.

One of the hardest things as parents we need to learn and heal is that our self-sacrifice for others, including our children, often doesn&#039;t inspire their love and dedication - and the HUGEST path to wholeness with ourselves and even them, is to honour and heal self.

Then it can be incredible how &quot;more&quot; may then come from them.

Are you working with NARP Sadie? www.melanietoniaevans.com/narp

Miracles with healing and reconnections often happen in this community with NARPers, even after years of separation.

At the very very very least NARP expands your journey to even higher levels of freedom, truth, health and love.

Continued blessings, healing and love to you

Mel 🙏💞🦋]]></description>
