They know what they’re doing. They are aware. People will tell you they don’t or didn’t mean to or that’s just how they are or they don’t treat me that way- must have been a misunderstanding. NO.
I’ve just finished my counselling sessions about this, as the covert narcissist in my life is my 92 year old mother. Yes I’ve suffered and survived 70 years of it! His advice is greyrock texts (fortunately my daughter taught her how to text when she was 80!) it works! the occasional text about nothing much but also kind words because that’s who I am. Incidentally I moved to another city to survive the abuse, so healing to have a physical distance between you. So sorry it’s your daughter, that must be very painful. 😥

If the narcissist is your own daughter, should I still avoid her?
