My therapist told me that confronting parents almost never works.
nope. Not in my case. It only makes things worse especially with narcissists. My relationship with my parents is basically over after confronting them
I had more than one therapist try to convince me to confront my parents, and I did confront one of them once, and the other multiple times. It was a complete waste of my energy.
I have a supportive therapist Who didn't outright tell me it's a bad Idea, but instead suggested to simulate it safely first, writing a letter, reading it outloud in therapy.
I did it and it was liberating enough, no need to go and tell my parents to their face. Exaclty like Daniel Said, I at last knew how I felt and how it felt to say such things with an "enlightened witness".
True
Bullshit, I recently did and he denied.. Good riddance of these two fucked up parents, since my mum is an imbecil.
Yep, I have confronted my parents over and over and they dig their heels in and revert back to their abusive selves. It's almost like they enjoy being cruel.
Ego defense
Everyone enjoys being angry. That's how you get rid of it.
@@chris4231 Nothing wrong with being angry. Just unfortunate how anger often gets directed at those who don't deserve it.
@RainbowDreams30 I know what you mean, especially about the empathy part. I've had too much empathy for my parents, at my own expense. All the empathy I have causes me to put myself back in harm's way again. It's not easy to navigate. On the one hand, I don't want to be around them whatsoever, on the other hand I feel guilty for feeling this way and I feel sorry for them. It's definitely a cross to bear.
@@lincolnlane6763 I'm not justifying their behavior, I was just answering to this part: "It's almost like they enjoy being cruel."
Emigrated five years ago. Haven't met any family since then. Rarely call, write.
Spoke to elderly mother a few weeks ago. One of the things she thought important to talk about was the number of houses around the world her friend's son has.
Some people are so far gone, they don't want to be saved.
Nope they often deny and have a different perspective and their memory isn't as keen because it didn't happen to them. They weren't the recipient of their disfunction. They often don't think "it was that bad".
My dad didn't even remember the most violating moments in my childhood when I confronted him. Destroyed/Annihilated. Issues need to be taken up then and there in the moment. Otherwise if the perp. never admits it, best to move on permanently.
@@bdmenne even in the moment my mother denies what happened 1 sec ago.. they're a peace of work... one thing that made it easier for me is when I started thinking that she perfectly knows what she did and there 's no need for me to bang my head against the wall.. we need to focus on us, they know what they' ve done, they 're just being shrewd.. we should let them deal with it & move on...
I think parents are worth confronting at least once so that you can try to resolve things, and if it doesn’t work out your conscience can be clear when you distance yourself from them.
If you confront them you need to be ready to go in full Throttle and be prepared to do them severe damage and do not allow them to put it all back on you. Do not expect any notion of making them "love" you.
That's not going to happen.
Confront them to cause them pain, gain healing and piece of mind for yourself. Write off the relationship, they did not respect you previously they will not respect you now.
Dead on. Mostly confronting them is a waste of time. These are people who subconsciously want you dead when you don't function as an atm for narcissistic supply.
Basically the furthest i would counsel anyone to take confrontation would a simple statement: "I notice that I really like the way you treat people you don't know well and who aren't in a position to know you. I would like you to treat me the way you treat strangers. Thank you."
It almost always turns ugly when I confront my parent(s) but difficult to restrain myself at times when old patterns play out. All they really know how to do is deny and gaslight, seemingly incapable of even the slightest amount of reflection, resorting to such vague copout statements as “we supported you” and “nobody’s perfect”.
Some of us don't want to be loved, we just want our family to have a little bit of common sense
When you said, "...internalizing the bad parts of our parents" in order to survive, interjecting the bad parts of them.....my heart literally began POUNDING. Reflection is not for the faint of heart. Onward with the video......
We all have that desperate fantasy that they’ll change and we’ll have that relationship we always dreamed of. If only they could confront their own demons, they could recognize how rare they are and how deeply they could help their kids.
I consider myself pretty lucky in that I was able to stop getting physically abused once I grew taller than my mother (puberty) and while the following years up until I moved out were often bad, I developed a habit of sticking up for myself and have been able to 'educate' and 'raise' my parents to be more understanding and less shitty. I've even had a few half attempted apologies from my mother thru the years.
@@asuka_the_void_witch This is good but my concern is that the only thing that changed is the power dynamic. It would be another story if they apologized and tried to make amends while they still held that level of power over you.
Authoritarian parents are the worst because children are the lesser ones that need to be guided.
They are completely blind, believing in an odd way that we are their possessions.
@@pod9363 I’m surprised they didn’t just switch tactics
I'm confused, what are you calling rare? The Parents' inner demons? I don't know about yours but my parents' inner demons are about as common and ubiquitous in our relationship as water.
When I confronted my mother and father separately mind you, both were in complete denial, they said that I had lost my mind, my mother called me schizophrenic, angry and bitter..!
In a sense it felt like they were angry at me for daring to confront them. They denied everything and took no accountability for their abuse. They turned the table on me and began attacking me and pointing out that I was being the nasty and hateful one not them. But I didn’t confront them because I wanted them to love me, I knew they were incapable of loving me or anyone else . I wanted an acknowledgement, and an apology from them..! Never received any sympathy or an apology from either of them. It became another opportunity for them to get abusive, hostile and downright volatile towards me. I ended all communication with both. I see my siblings desperately trying to get bread crumbs out of them in terms of acceptance and care, and I feel sad for them. They don’t understand that you can’t receive any love from a brutal individual regardless if they were your parents.
I can definitely relate to this one, Daniel. A confrontation to the living person, does nothing.
If you’re ever around the Long Island area let’s grab some beers, my treat 🍻 ❤️ thanks for the good work and positivity you add to this dish we call life
Excellent point. The deeper we go with our healing and internal confrontation, the less need for real-life confrontation there seems to be.
"Turn the shit of confrontation into fertilizer for growth" - I am going to steal this phrase. Thanks!
Came here to say this. I love this concept. Thanks Daniel!
I don't know if it is confrontation as much as it is just not putting up with their nonsense. Not allowing them to use their child as a mirror for their own unmet mirroring.
The thing about living in hell is you don’t know that you’re living in hell until years later when you get out of it and that’s what it’s like when you’re raised in a toxic family surrounded by rage, alcoholism, drug abuse, womanizing and sibling evil. It’s sickening the things that toxic parents let the toxic kids get away with but more than likely the parents were triangulating the kids into the very behavior that created most of the drama. It is such a sick dynamic that destroys any hope for any future relationship not only with the parents but with the siblings and honestly until they all die off that underlying current of fear and anxiety that is manufactured in these families is lurking just below the surface. I tried the confrontation route and it was brutal and as he said won’t get you anywhere except being raged at and called a drug addict or crazy or a liar. These people will do anything to protect their image even if it means destroying their own flesh and blood.
Walk away and go no contact and heal and grow and pray and treat your body kindly wish them well and let them do what they will do on their own because they will do what they intend to do always.
Very true!
No contact gave me the Peace I was missing.
I walked away, and didn't go NC, just 99 per cent NC. Emigrated.
Yes.
I was fortunate in that when I did confront my parents they apologized for their mistakes, and they have grown as people and healed from physiological mental illness also. It is healthy for me to have a relationship with them fortunately.
That’s great!
This is so beautiful. I appreciate that you shared this. There is hope!!
Hope it happened more often with other families. Good job both of you and your parents to have come to such a result. I am really happy for you.
I didn't want to confront my parents but it came to a head because I needed to distance myself away from them and their dysfunction and control of me every second, and by doing so it triggered them very much because they got so used to me being 'nice to them', so it basically forced the issue and I had to let them know about my depression and horrible experience growing up. Not sure how it's gonna go from there but I'm not hoping for any change, but I hope that I can go beyond this thing I've been fixated on and live my life as healthy as possible.
God bless you ! I feel your pain. Im in the same exact position. Trying to get over the loss of two toxic parents.
Well confronting my parent would get me nowhere ive tryed and its exhausting.
How does one break up with one's parents? Ghost them? Send them a letter? I'm not really interested in having them in my life, but it's hard to let go.
No letter because your silence will say everything that a letter can’t. They know how they’ve treated you and they know it’s wrong but they don’t care and they certainly didn’t care enough to try to change. It isn’t called ghosting either. It is called no contact. If you want to heal and calm the central nervous system down then sever all ties and block their emails and their text messages and their ability to call you by phone. Block everyone including all relatives and anyone associated with them. That is a drastic step to take but if your health is compromised it’s the only thing that will allow you to heal.
I emigrated. Call once or twice a year. Letter once or twice a year. No visit in the last five years.
Result: peace, sanity.
Same in my case, before I was unstable in my career it was too hard to do that coz I was struggling with my mental tensions, would fear what would happen if I do so..now that I am stable, I confronted my father which made things even worse.. luckily, he distanced himself from me and I live a peaceful life..
I don’t always watch your videos, but I’m still endlessly grateful that you continue to publish them. Thank you!
Parents want you to be good, loving, successful... when they do none of it themselves. Parents are people. People are disgusting and pathetic. And then they get to abuse their children the most.
I don't think I hate anybody as much as i hate my parents. And that hate just transfers itself to me hating myself when I can't use them as a target for my hate.
I live with so much hate. And parents won't heal me. Friends won't heal me. Sex. Money. Drugs. Nothing will heal my hate.
All I want to do is die. I'm just sorry I don't have the courage to do it.
I've tried to let the hate go. To accept it. Negotiate with it. I have found it's very hard to love yourself when there is so much hate.
It just gets the best parts of me.
All the love just dies inside the hate I have. And I think that's one of the reasons why I try to give love to others so much instead. I don't have any faith in myself.
It's just so dark and empty inside.
The hate doesn't feel like anger. It feels warm. It feels good. It feels safe. It feels like power.
Sometimes I don't know if I hold back because I'm just tryng to protect others from myself.
I know I'll get rejected anyway. And the only reason they don't is because they can still abuse me.
I think there is a lot of good in people. I just haven't had a whole lot for myself.
A lot of poison ivy in this garden of a brain...
You need to find your vibe tribe....
this is really relatable, thank you for sharing :-)
Read more books...move your brain toward different target. Try to regain control. My humble opinion. Learn two of three languages for example. Then give to the people for free.
I felt that. You are not alone and it’s fucking complicated.
I know of what you speak of kevin. I recommend teal swan s videos like this one.
Very helpful, Daniel. I study these types phenomena from a cultural and social perspective and always wonder why you haven't got more views. Then I remember, this is still controversial information in our individualist society who pathologises people who dare to question the therapeutic status quo. In some ways we havent't come far since mental asylums were a thing. Anyway, always a pleasure to listen to your words.
Thank you Jenny, much appreciated!
Be careful with confronting. I talked with my mom just about a few things and she was in denial. She felt threatened and like she is a bad person or a bad mother. I would be way more hurt afterwards. No I dont need confronting for my healing
I have had the chance of grieving more easily my past with my dad because he died 13 years ago. My history with him ended so I could look back. He always was the "good guy" in the messed up relationship with me. He let my mom be the "bad guy" even though they were both messed up. Very interesting video as always. Thanks for the insight!
Always glad to be reminded that there’s at least one other person awake in this world. Thanks as always Daniel.
Thanks for this insightful discussion, Daniel. This reminds me of the time that I did confront my physically abusive mother about things she had done to me in the past. She merely doubled down and said that I deserved those beatings, sending me into a rage as I stormed away from her doorstep. As you pointed out, I gained nothing in the way of emotional healing from that encounter, just more pent up anger. The interesting thing was that years later, while dealing with another bout of depression, I suddenly realized that, I had a fair amount of anger welling up and needed to release it somehow. So I decided (out of desperation I think), to gather all the anger that I could, put my mother's face on the depression and screamed at the top of my lungs for her/it to "F**K OFF!" This all occurred just before I fell asleep that night. The next morning, I noticed that my depression was gone and thought to myself, "this probably won't last." But one week passed, then another with no re-occurrence of symptoms. It was a truly cathartic experience, to say the least! To top that off, I tapered off Prozac and eventually had access to my emotions again. I never thought it would be that good!
Thanks, again, Daniel!
That's awesome. Proof that resolving trauma leads to healing
I confronted my dad, but I didn't actually wait for a response. Neither I actually confronted him. I confronted and revealed his actions and the intentions of his actions to my enabling sister while he was present. I also confronted her enabling. I was shouting and wasn't expecting a response. The shame of exposure him to someone else shut him up. I'm sure that if I had confronted him directly and it was just him and me, he would go down another route.
My dads brain splits when confronted. I won’t even try my mother.
Seriously, thank you !.. It's so soothing hearing u talk about these hard topics.
How I began healing was when I was able to reach compassion for my main perpetrator, my mom. It was like a gift when I gained compassion and firgiveness, esp since she was still alive.
I continue to work on self-love in the wake of her death. It was a perennially tenuous relationship and the grieving has been long.
Some of Daniel's story is like mine.
Daniel is an enigma. There are topics l disagree with him ( e.g. anti-psychiatry ), nonetheless l have to be honest: he has a genuine talent for approaching the deepest layers of human psyche. Parallel lives: l grew up in a similar ( abusive ) family. I keep 'foraging' on CZcams for his videos. Keep posting, Daniel!
can i ask what you disagree on if you're open to elaborating? not looking for debate - just curious! i'd love to hear your thoughts and i'm always looking for another perspective 🧡
Not sure why you’d label him “anti-psychiatry” for his valid criticisms of the industry and the way it pushes big pharma and dissociation as the norm.
Well, he's right about psychiatry. But keep living in denial.. 😂
I did not confront my father because I knew he was in denial. But I did realize he was a totally pathetic person! I watched him decline as he got older - in a way that was healing- i was stronger than someone i was once very afraid of! And I forgave him - that freed me when I let go of the anger. But I would never let him abuse or control me again!!! He is dead and the greedy #/@!*# left me money. I think I won.
My patents are dead. My brother in in complete denial, despite his mother drinking herself to death. I am grieved that my sister stepmother towards the end of her life but ignored how my step mother bullied me.I keep away and have to do my own work and it is hard, but essential for me to get any quality of life that is worthwhile.
Update; I recently had family therapy with my half brother. Ot was wierd, he pitied me which is not what I wanted. He did agree that my step mother was a drunk and my father a self centred arrogant tosser but something was missing.
I confronted my mum yesterday and now I worry because I'm still living with my parents. Feels manipulative to not confront though, but it does feel unnecessary as well...This isn't the first time and I don't see any change coming from it. Its so much more worthwhile to take small steps everyday journaling when I have memories that bubble to the surface.
I confronted both of my parents, about four years apart. Both of them were receptive and deeply hurt at how much damage they had caused me. They didn't intend to do what they did and were largely ignorant of it. They apologized for it. Both of them had been in therapy since I was a child but it came too late. They should have healed before having kids but they didn't. That doesn't change the fact that they knew there were problems, tried as hard as they could to fix them but still fell short.
Never let anyone tell you that it's a mistake to tell them. It depends entirely on the family dynamic there is no right or wrong answer.
This must be an extremely rare outcome. I'm very happy for you.
This is my favorite CZcams channel. It's helped me so much. I wish I could find more like it. If anyone has suggestions please share. I'm sure youtube is full of small hidden gems like daniel

One of the reasons why it's so helpful to watch your videos for me personally nowadays is because watching them so regularly keeps me aware because dissociation is so strong for me and your videos are so relatable. Thank you so much for sharing your insights!
I think I'm more capable now of confronting my parents less and less directly as I've realized it doesn't change anything and even when my parent apologized a couple of times, it never really meant anything because a minute later she would become 100% defensive and dissociated again, also because she has an early childhood trauma and is in the state of deep lack of awareness for decades. She'll never acknowledge 1/3rd of the impact her treatment had on me because she's always been unaware and because, as you said, they can't even bear the amount of pain and the overwhelming knowldge of the impact of their own traumas, so how could they be able to bear the idea of impacting someone else so much in a negative way and ruining their lives? Some people are just mentally ill and it's definitely the case of my mother with all the amount of abnormal things she, as well as I, have, so I should have that in mind and seek other ways to confront her by expressing it to someone else and internally somehow, without her being aware, and it's working well so far. But sometimes I still have relapses and regresses. I'm still very emotionally immature, but I don't blame myself for that as I know change takes a continuous effort during a long time, as develomental childhood trauma affects your brain and you can't easily rewire stuff as an adult, it takes a lot of things happening repeatedly for some progress to happen.
I also confronted my grandmother in the same way, and the results were the same, although she's more guilty of consciously cruel psychological (classically narcissistic) abuse and I think she's healthier and stronger than my mother and me, so she thought she could bully me for being different, weak and weird (due to trauma, one can say, she also ironically caused by being a shitty parent to my mother). Ok, I think now it borders with too much of unecessary information, just like in a lot of my comments, so I'll stop here.
Warm greetings!
@@dmackler58 Warm greetings from Russia! ☺️ 💗 Thank you for all your videos!
When I attempted to confront my parents they denied, dismissed and blamed me re the extreme episodes of violence I'd suffered, and they triangulated against me. I woke several times in the week afterwards from nightmares where I tried to tell them how I felt and they laughed at me. Something died in me and I couldn't fake enthusiasm anymore and even had somatic symptoms when I visited them, my body rebelling. I realised they were so codependent that they had to deny it because of what it would mean for their marriage. This was after years of supporting my mother as a parentified child to process her own childhood abuse. They were clueless as to why I stopped visiting, and I considered telling them I just wanted an admission that my father used to lose his temper and that he regretted it. I realized I couldn't process it with them and would have to process it elsewhere. To this day I am kind and polite to them because I understand the effect it would have on their marriage to face it and I have pity on them because they're old. In a way it allowed me to truly grow up and break the fantasy. I think I was still stuck in a child mode prior to that disillusionment.
This is very relevant to relationships with other people as well, not only parents. Other relatives or acquaintances who won't do growth work and won't take responsibility for their wrongdoings, and continue to act toxic ways. Thanks Daniel.
Thank you!! Didn't even consider this But indeed, there is a huge likelihood that they will respond the same as they always have: insensitive, blaming others/me, attacking me for my vulnerabilities, etc.
Confronted parents since i was born. Been scapegoat since i was born. Not for everyone. But taught me how to truly wreck their little fantasy. Depends if you want easy ride or you want the intensity and wisdom that comes with it.
I think you're right, they're react negatively, I managed to take one to a therapist with me they refused to return when the truth was coming out & it transpired they thought they had set me up with a therapist they already knew in order to scapegoat me (I wasn't aware of this agenda, I still thought there was hope) who didn't go along with them..... & worse when I saw someone privately afterwards managed to write a malicious letter about me behind my back & spread malicious gossip to relatives about me. I had to cut them off in the end when I realised what had happened & how malicious they really were, I didn't believe it until it was too late.
Ah, the victim of a letter-writing campaign, rumours. Yeah, join the club!
We can confront them, but inside of us only.
I think confrontation should be done in a certain way, to make it work. Like any business deal, there has to be some kind of benefit for every party. If it's about some violation, the benefit can be at least, that you give them the opportunity to apologize and to be forgiven. If you don't give any opportunity for those, then it's no wonder that it does not work.
Also, you have to be like a surgeon. You have to be accurate, and you have to be ready to "kill" the "patient". If you know in your conscience what you have to do, then do not let any emotional responses like fear or pity prevent you from saying what is necessary. In the same way, surgeons have to be ready to make you bleed and make you vulnerable, or even risk your death, to save you. Of course, you shouldn't actually kill anyone, but you have to be ready to throw away the part of that person that lives in your mind. You have to be prepared that it wont feel nice for him/her.
Also, accuracy is very important. Just like a surgeon, you have to not cause any unnecessary harm. Don't accuse him/her vaguely of everything that's wrong in your life. Instead, focus on the things that you actually feel violated about. When you're accurate in your confrontations, it's possible to take the responsibility. If you accuse someone of just about everything, then you're just responding to the original violation with another violation. Tell him/her about your honest feelings (especially about those that you were unable to express), because those are the things that you can know 100%. Everything else has much more different points of view and possibilities for different angles.
Once again you touch a hard reality for many to express , admit, deal with. You help those who know it feel less alone. You are a great help.
I can't even confront my mother if I wanted to since she had a severe stroke when I was a kid due to her drinking. There's nothing I could say that she would understand, which was how I felt growing up anyway, so really... She's living with the consequences of her actions as is. It's still miserable though because she thinks I stopped talking to her for financial reasons, or at least she'd like to make everyone around her believe that, so in a way she still pits me as some sort of selfish black sheep! Definitely just have to let that one go.
Gosh are you me?? I'm watching your videos on a loop and am nodding my head so profusely!
Same here! I totally relate to what he has to say!
Thank you so much Daniel, it helps a lot to hear your insight ☺️
I needed to hear this, thank you Daniel. It's hard to hear but it's incredibly important.
My therapist once told me, don’t expect an Oprah moment when confronting your parents.
Hahaha ( bitter laugh ) ...my father changed during the last five minutes of his life. Fortunately my analytical mind is the ruler and my feelings are subdued. Otherwise I would have gotten mad ( lost my sanity ).
Same here when he was getting towards the end admitted "you're mother has a problem with you..." when he's ne er been capable of dealing with that in life.
Parents never talked with me about sex and relationships now I cannot even talk to a woman as an adult,thanks parents for internalized that on me..
You have to kind of... get over it, and teach yourself, find mentors, and/or hire a coach. It doesn't have to remain a problem unless you deem it so.
That doesn't mean women won't talk to you, many women are kind, join a therapy group or get help somehow, find out who you are, what you have to offer (love, kindness), baby steps....
thisi s extremely helpful
Thanks.
@@dmackler58 definitely one of your most inspiring videos 💜💜
Always a good video Daniel
And again, thx for putting yourself out there!!!
I really like your videos but I’m not sure I agree with this one. I think learning to forgive is far more valuable then displaying resentment. And if the intention was for them to change….forget it. I’m working the 12 steps of adult children of alcoholics and dysfunctional families, there’s really good stuff in there. Thank you for your videos, they are very helpful
Well said, Daniel. Thank you
Thank you for this.......you have given me lots to think about 🌹🌹🌹
Some very useful, valid points.
I have the same experience, thanks for the beautiful video
Thanks Daniel.. This video has really helped me.. Invader of yourself.. This really resonates.. Thank you for sharing yoyr experience and insight in this matter.. e..
i did confront them, no point ... they are babies i found out, but yeah you're right, when i confront them, and the nasty things they told me when they felt threatened, those nasty things are what my inner crippled self is, my true self was rejected and shamed by them, the power they had over me to change me into a person unrecognizable ... what a tragedy .... my father even is much worse, my father is so regressed and dissociated, so aggressive, but my mother is much worse, she ruined my capacity for love or anything else .... i learned to coward into a corner from a young age to survive ... i've always asked myself what's the point of living, i looked for answers in science and in people, so little i know that the meaning comes from love, and i wasn't loved ...
I confronted my parents, but it didn't help me grow or heal. It wasn't for growth or healing that I confronted them. It was just to make them feel the pain they made me feel.
However, they did actually change their perspectives. I see a lot of commentors saying their parents couldn't change, so I just want to be evidence that it can happen. Everything that you say to a person affects that person in some way, even if it's not noticeable.
Mine only pretebded they had changed. It was all fake.
@@Sil26439same here... But i still don't regret confronting - I needed to express myself.
Even if it has no effect on them - it has effect on us and I think it's positive ❤
Gonna confront today 🧞♀️
Would you share your thoughts about IFS (internal family system) and parts work in self healing? I'm reading Richard Schwartz book "No bad parts" right now. Thank you.
Read about the Castlewood victims. Parts work is still valuable tho... 👌
I wonder what you think about human psychology from an evolutionary perspective. I feel like the issue has to do with consciousness itself. It's what makes our life so unique, but its also something to be controlled like anything else.
I looked after my dad when he didnt want to go into a home .
I remember two things that stuck.
My dad after insomnia would say he was plagued with regrets so I asked him to elaborate. Instead of anything to do wirh his parenting he spoke about his mistakes as a teacher and schools inspector. ..damn!
And...I had dione something or more likely not done something and upset my dad. I remember holding him as he cried saying " its not your fault that im such a useless son " ..!!! Wtf ?
Those regrets of your Dad's must have been devastating to you!
@bellakrinkle9381 I *was* hoping that he might reflect on, or regret giving me such a fucking hard time growing up?
He disliked lots of things about me , was angry, frustrated and shit to be around , we had totally different ideas about who I was and what I wanted to do, things were never ever ok between us but seeing as he'd asked me to look after him for what became four years and I felt we'd reached a better place ( you have to feel kind of ok with a man if you bath him, dress him and wipe his arse ? ) there was a moment of clarity coming ....
I thought he might even come with regret for things he did in africa in ww2 dropping behind enemy lines sabotaging the german war machine ...Im sure that was brutal amd horrifying .
But no , some dreary work crap had his psyche on the run ...wtf is that about ? 😁
You might like F is for Family, the last season, which deals with eerily similar themes.
PROBLEM IS HUMAN BEINGS DONT SEE THEMSELVES AS EQUAL IN DIGNITY REGARDLESS THE ROLES EACH BEING PLAYS IN SOCIETY, WHETHER AS PARENTS, AS PREDISENTS, PARTNERS, IT DOES NOT MATTER, IN THE END THESE ARE MERE ROLES, BUT DIGNITY OF A SOUL IS ALWAYS OVER THE PUBLIC ROLES, FOR THESE ROLES ARE ALL THERE TO SERVE HUMAN/DICINE DIGNITY, PRECISELY, NOT TO OPPOSE IT BECAUSE OF THE PARTICULAR ROLE, IN OTHER WORDS, PARENTS THINK THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE CRUELM MISLEADING, AND ABUSIVE TOWARDS THEIR CHILDREN BECAUSE THEY ARE PARENTS, POLITICS THINK THEY CAN BE CORRUPT BECAUSE THEY ARE POLITICS AND ARE ABOVE THE CITIZENSHIP IN HIERARCHY, BUT THEIR ROLE HAS TO SERVE DIGNITY AND THE PEOPLE, NOT THEMSELVES IN VIRTUE OF THE EXCEPTIONAL POWERS THEY HAVE BEEN GIVEN, WHTHER BY GOD OR PEOPLE.

People need to realize psychiatrics further impede the expression of the life-long repressed, authentic self of the victims or narcisisitics parents (they revictimize the victims of abuse), by numbing the symptoms of the victims, not allowing healing because the numbing impedes the feeling and integration of them.
So you saying we need to cut them off, no confrontation, no explanation. Just cut the cord.
I'm not sure. I know that I did a lot of confrontation of my parents over the years, and it didn't change them at all. But I learned a lot from it. But it also hurt me in a lot of different ways. I think these questions are for each person to consider for himself or herself, as each situation is unique. What works for one might not work for another......
