Healing from a narcissist father

[an****]

I have a very deep and personal story of abuse. I am very grateful to have found this website, full of positivity and it is so good to know that there are so many great people around the world, that are genuinely trying to be a better person. 

 

During these years, I have felt voiceless, everytime I spoke against the abuse or tried to get myself out of that environment, victims of the same abuser or different abusers would become enablers and chip away at my confidence, convincing me that I was wrong for believing that I deserve to be treated with respect. In this community, I know I won't be gaslit, I know that you won't be gaslit. Would you like me to tell my story, my journey? I would love to hear yours! As I'm telling my story, You'll be able to see how many great things I've been blessed to learn in this journey and how crucial it is for you to take note of the little victories in your journey.

Welcome. 

 

I can understand people who don't respect an unexperienced person's opinion, because they know better. 

But you deserve to be respected as a person. 

But if someone doesn't respect you, there are not many legal things you can do about it. 

The best solution should be to go away. And the only satisfaction you get would be to know, the person will not get many true friends because of it's behavior. 

 

Feel free to share your story. I always like to read people's experiences and learn from them.
