 Video:  How a super empath tortures a narcissist | by Mel Robbins 
(this is a 20 minute video)

I have always sensed things before they happened in my personal life with friends and family.  Sometimes I am right and others not on target, but 70% of the time I seem to be accurate. 

Sadly, I am in a situation with my family that involves a narcissist. 
She has managed to turn many in my family against me. I am glad I have a good self esteem and am able to love myself for the  perfectly imperfect person I am today.  It took time and lots of life experience to get to this place. :-))

I am grateful I understand who she is and most times I realize whats happening and just remember my psychology classes in college and my mental health counselor training and know this is who she is  and I have no control over it. 
I treat her with respect and kindness.  I know she will never change. 

I hope eventually to move but at my age and with my finances I am learning to trust my God and be patient. He has never failed me. Hopefully, a door will  open.  In the meantime I try to live life one day at a time.

When I stumbled on the Mel Robbins video I was like yes, that's much of what I have experienced. At the end of the video I was comforted that I was not alone. Hope this video comforts you as well or creates awareness with which you can take some action to help yourself.

When The Family Scapegoat Leaves The Toxic Family

 This is by   Tamie M Joyce Great video! Once again I identified with the video and all that I have been experiencing.  I liked her presentation.  It was 30 min, a bit long for my taste, but really covered a lot of areas.  Well worth the 30 min. :-)) I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.It reminds us we are not alone and its not just our imagination, it is really happening to us and we can chose how we respond to the abuse.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1Onifqv_SM

8 Reasons Narcissists Don’t Care About Truth

  My personal journey dealing with a family member who is narcissistic is both painful and frustrating. Caught between seeing someone I love abused by the narcissist and being powerless over the situation is difficult.  I believe she also knows I know which has made it harder on both of us.  I continue to remind myself of my powerlessness and that I can educate myself and understand what to expect. I continue to try to be kind and loving. So, if I cant help my family member or myself maybe I can offer understanding about this personality disorder to others.     Article by Dr Les Carter well known for his study of Narcissists  If you scroll to the bottom it also has the article in video format  LINK to full article https://survivingnarcissism.tv/8-reasons-narcissists-dont-care-about-truth/ Here is the start of the article, click on the link  to view the full article, Also you can page down to watch it in a video format.    (Belo...
