    It's one thing to get myself out of the family system. That's the easy part. It's very much another thing to get the family system out of me. It's like quicksand. The more I fight it within myself, the more I sabotage my own life in exactly the same ways!

    Without you I'm sure I would have come back multiple times to my parents. But you always helped me remember why I took this decision.Thanks for being a public figure about it. You are "saving" life. Before breaking up with my parents I was unhealthy in so many ways and a shell of myself, I didn't even really believe I had a self . For this reason even through the pain of being scapegoat by your whole family, siblings friends of parents, aunts...it's still worth it. You have to remember that you are not losing everything by breaking up with them, you were losing everything when you were WITH them, you didn't have yourself and how can you have others when you don't even have yourself. You were more lonely with them than without them, everything was fake cause it relied and worked on a false self. In this way by breaking up you gain, you discover yourself and in this way see also the truth about others. It hurts but it's a great joy as the same time.

    My mother died when I was 2, I was left in the care of her family and later my fathers family who both traumatised me throughout my whole childhood, my mission was to run away as soon as I was able to and I did, I recently learned that I was a scapegoat. I haven’t had contact with either of them in nearly 15 years and I never will, I nearly died. I now live with my child, just the two of us and I couldn’t be more happier. If you have a narcissistic dysfunction family… LEAVE NOW

    I found this quote which in my opinion reveals a great truth: " to anger an honest person, tell them a lie; to anger a narcissist tell them the truth". Telling the truth to my narc parents and finally standing up for myself, after a life of self doubts, emotional pain and denial, and exposing their overt and covert favoritism, their verbal and emotional abuse, their unfairness, made them even more cruel and rigid. I had been given a "role" in the family, being a daughter in their eyes I was "less worthy". As such, I was expected to accept and agree with their beliefs. But when I couldn't tolerate their behavior any more, because it hurt so much, and finally left, I was punished, criticized and disinherited. All I was asking and hoping for, my whole life, was some real, sincere apology. I would have forgiven them, for the nth time, if they had shown some honesty, just to hear the words "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry". But they never felt sorry because they consider themselves perfect, just and right. I am the ungrateful black sheep. And my golden child sibling seems to enjoy the situation. The sad and absurd thing is that they are so good at convincing people to stay on their side. And I'm alone. But there were no other choices for me.

    Spot on as always ! most parents see their children as solely a microcosm of themselves or their world rather than the child being their own entity, and if specific attributes about the parents are not displayed in the child , most cases it is seen as betrayal ..

    Thanks Daniel for sharing your story. It is very difficult to even admit the thought of wanting to break up with parent, not to mention going public. You are right that most people who are suffering from toxic relationship with parent lack of role model to make the right move.

    @hybridmongrel Před 2 lety +16

    Thank you so much again, Daniel. I have broken with my parents for a few years now, after not seeing much of them for 10+ years before. And I am 60, it's taken a long time! Over the past two years I've found out a lot about the damage they endured and the almost inevitable passing on of at least some of that to me and my siblings. And I have a context (of Cluster B Personality disorders, although it's obviously not that formulaic) totally unexplored by them, that caused my neglect. Luckily I was relatively unscathed enough to reinvent myself and try not to be like them, with my own family of wife and three daughters. But the scathing is there and I'm entering an intense period of finally coming to terms with my damage and how it affects me and people around me. A social context is really important I feel, not to over-individualise the solutions or remedies for our progress from realisation to improvement as a person who can love themselves and people we choose to be around.

    Once more you are shining a light, this time for the flowers to unfold. What you describe is precisely how the story went in my own life as well. I started speaking out to my parents naively at the tender age of 12-13, questioning their clearly questionable choices and decisions and behaviours, lack of integrity and fake niceness. It didn't take long until I was singled out as the scapegoat of the family and the abuse really escalated. After many years and a lot of pain I can take genuine pride in having raised myself, drawing on philosophers, the rare good teacher and ultimately people like you Daniel. Dandelions break asphalt!

    My parents were so concerned I would speak re what they did, that they they got in first by badmouthing me to everyone! - the result being people came and asked me about it, so I was obliged to discuss it in my own defence and to try and explain their bizarre and embarassing behaviour.
    My plan was to keep my family issues private from the wider family and place of origin, because it would create unnecessary sadness etc and I was happy to go along with the nice family reputation we had prior.
    But my parents and siblings have totally messed up our reputation with their badmouthing of me!!! This has been going on over five decades and isn't going to stop.

    So true, when you try to break out and speak up, you get crushed by all sorts of people from all different cultures. And sometimes there are crabs who are outside the barrel and are relatively healthy, but don't want any more crabs escaping and getting to their level of freedom. They can crush us too. And it definitely is a global thing sadly, not just America.

    It is very very hard, I agree. I dont think I'll manage it and my therapist said I cant do it either. I care to much about them and brothers. Even though we are genx, my brothers are DEEPLY IN IT and cant get out, one wants or tried and the other wants to be in and take care of them. I am and have been trying and dont know how. It feels like death. I keep finding/meeting people who are like them and the boundaries are hard to keep in place cuz I dissociate which causes confusion in the relationshit and mixed signals. Then I get upset/disappointed in myself for being so mixed up. So I end up cutting people off and am virtually alone 95%of the time and like I said it feels like death. Like I'm literally being ripped/tearing myself apart from my mother's skin like we are fused together. It totally SUCKS!!! Thanks for your videos. You are indeed brave!!

      It seems to me you are on the right track. It's not always a rip the band-aid off situation. For me, using the grey rock technique over the past couple years has helped me transition to getting my heart out of the relationship with my parents (be as dull as a grey rock, zero care what they think, no longer doing things to appease them to earn that conditional love, like finally getting to be a rebellious teen). Siblings are the hardest part, in my opinion. If your brother is gonna take care of them then that might be a blessing in disguise for you. Hold your boundaries that the only person who can save us is ourself. That implies that you can't save your brothers - in doing so, it robs them of their own journey. They need to save themselves. The rewards are in the struggle, otherwise it wouldn't feel rewarding. Maybe drop them some hints. One I used in my family of carboholics is I started saying "I eat my feelings" a lot and they caught on and started repeating it about themselves. Also informed them about carbs since they didn't understand simple carbs. Small hints, like CPTSD and talking about trauma is another hint to drop so they know where to start if they dig in. Or find some videos to share that's indirect but on topic, tactically slipped in at the right opportunity. Best of luck to you, hang in there, the harder it gets the sweeter it'll be on the other side!

    Daniel, as always, thank you for your courage in sharing your story and for spreading compassion to the world in the way that you do. Love the crabs 🦀 in the crate analogy. I’m one of those crabs who managed to escape like you :)
    I hope sincerely that my siblings will do so for themselves; I miss them, I really do- that’s the really painful part of family separation and the poison of entanglement /enmeshment by narc parents. It’s so hard to witness that level of soul destruction with loved ones I grew up with…who remain stuck and tormented; then becoming tormenters, abusers and enablers themselves.
    I could go on…but I’ll stop myself here. I didn’t realize how much I needed to see this video of validation in this moment; but actually earlier today I was remembering how it’s been nearly three years since I decided to allow myself a hiatus from family communications completely. To save myself; preserve my sanity and well being. It has been the most precious gift I’ve given myself - that gift of emotional freedom. Though I wish I had the insight and courage to do so earlier, I’m glad I eventually came around to finally listening to my inner being and soul; I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. And figured I may not know what’ll come of this family separation but I’m rock bottom - three years later, I’ve experienced so much pure joy, light, love and openness than I’ve ever had before.

    thank you Daniel, what a star you are! Most real of all. The commandment 'honour your father and mother' is bizarre . Both my parents were narcissists, mother violent, father a bully. My role was to be the kind, wise, gentle and asexual little 'boy'. Anger went inwards and I became a depressed repressed man. I finally got away, but even from the grave we are still battling. I'm now 62 and, as you suggest, wrestle with the conditioning I was bought up with. BUT I've never regretted breaking from them. Almost all of the wider family have discounted me as a 'loser'. Thankfully that's not my problem.

    There seems to be so few healthy people, and especially ones for me to associate with. Does one attract healthuíer ones as one heals, ARE they there, just out of "reach"? I fear healing, because I'd become even more aLonely.Because in some ways, I am healthy.

    The things you are saying I apply to the sick "family system" of the present world paradigm as well: "that system does not want people to escape or break out or become real". The threat to its lies is too real

    I don't believe that there are good sides of one's parent, because in case they misused you emotionally for their own needs, that one had to sell him/herself out to get to see the "good side" for one's whole life, then they didn't have and don't have any good attributes, they just have an image of it, a copy, but it serves a destructive reason. If one looks at the bigger picture, they don't love their children, anyways they believe that they do since they're in denial about their own traumas, so they can even tell you they do love you, but they don't even have a grasp what they're talking about, they just say that to manipulate one to be able to continue with what they believe is a good and lovely behavior, but which in reality is an ongoing terrorising of one's psyche in a perfidious way.
    There is no good sides in them, because they always just do friendly or good things to hold this almost psychotic view of theirselfs and their history consistent. They're not just dissociative, because they are not just dissociated from their own, but they somehow create this inner perception and view of things, which is in most of the parts built on phantasies and imagination, which they do believe theirselfs, cause they are in denial of theirselfs, so they have to fill this space of identity somehow and I'm always amazed how they explain, who they're and what makes them and then looking at the actual reality, it seems psychotic, because you can't believe someone is having such far off reality based perspectives about themselfs and their behavior.
    But maybe they were not good to you, never, but even though they don't have any good sides within them, for other people they can randomly do good things at times, even though they didn't do it for the other person, more for themelfs, so of course they're absolutely human beings and deserve all the respect for being humans as every human deserves it. But to oneself they just don't care anymore. They're just off. Not working.
    I didn't take any good sides of my parents to help me grow, because there isn't any.
    And that's okay with me. Better to not be delusional about things like this, because if you do believe there are good sides in them in relation to yourself: that will keep their voice inside of your brain alive - because you still see parts of them as good and you're in the state of cognitive dissonance. And that will cost you alot in every day going on.
    Just my opinion. Everyone is free to decide for his/her own, if that comment is useful to them or not.

    It is not always a clean-cut situation. I wonder how feminism factors into this, don't want to hijack the topic, but to me it is obvious that women not getting the same opportunities in the world as men definitely adds to a lot of BS in general society. Most married women I know stay with their partners out of fear-fear of judgment, fear of financial insecurity, fear for their safety(especially those who live in really unsafe environments) etc, and out of it the kids often suffer the most. My mother was like that, despite having the highest IQ in her company, being a self-taught programmer in the 70s and 80s, she made only about one 5th of what my father made, and came from a modest family background, so if she had divorced, she would have dealt with not just massive criticisms from society but poverty as well, which caused her to stay married and ruin my childhood. I spent most of my 20s just trying to mend what was broken and am not fully healed yet. To this day I feel torn between still caring for my mother, despite her inability or unwillingness to see the truth about her life and my father, and wanting nothing to do with her. The main reason I minimized contact with my parents is because they're married, if it were just her living alone, I would visit more often. I wonder how many others are caught in similar mind-F*cks.

      I would only really have a relationship with my sister, as she's the one that never hurt me, but she's tight AF with mom, who is the cause of all my traumas. I feel you there.
      But in my family, my mother enjoyed all the fruits of 70s feminism, had her own full-time jobs, made good money. It was when she got the Big Idea to divorce my father and move 1000 miles away that it all went to hell for my brother and I. And, financially, she didn't need him. So she just went.

      Yes and perhaps the feminine principle in men needs support too? My mom bashed me and terrorised dad, it’s all part of patriarchy. Patriarchy hurts boys too. They refer to Russia as she!!! Or mother!!! Look at the significant dates and historical repeats patterns.. Russia had a war same time is in astrology and look at day tesla born and Freud we r in a feminine rising … watch chriselda Pacheco talk with two astrologists today .. all 3 were families scapegoat girl 👧

    If you consider that addiction is a trauma and trauma 👀 is an addiction, then, putting oneself in a position where you’re consistently, indulging, in your own addiction, doesn’t seem very fulfilling, to me 🫠

    I think you don't show enough respect towards your parents. Even most abusive parents make tremendous sacrifices for their children and love them deeply. Their deficits come out of their own suffering. Hurt people hurt people. I reconnected to my parents for years because of a line in a movie. A middle-aged man was a friend and a mentor to a runaway teen girl and he said, "You're lucky you still have family. I can't even call mine up to say 'I hate you'"

    • @sinqobilem
      @sinqobilem Před rokem +1

      That last line is tragic. We are only attached to our parents because they care for us in our vulnerable state as children. They aid our survival and the feelings of affinity we develop towards them are an inherent sociological response. The same occurs with people who are raised in non biological families. Parents who abuse us deserve no respect. Abuse doesn’t have to be intentional. Control is abuse. The outcome is a stifled child who endures complex ptsd. You are missing the key element of true love in a parent-child dynamic. It’s comprised of care, responsibility, commitment, respect and trust. I am shocked to read that you would rather a family who doesn’t love you the way you deserve, than no family at all. And of course you mean blood family. Creating a family out of blood relation is just as real if not more genuine because it requires true commitment outside of relational obligation. I truly feel sorry for you.
