You have my sympathy as i grew up with a narcissistic parent. Do you have any siblings and if so are they treated the same as you. Do you have any family that you can talk to. I know you cant reason with a narcissistic parent as they just turn it all back on you. But i would try and find someone that you can talk openly to. Does your father know what’s happening. I never told mine and can never understand why i didnt , as he would have been appalled if he’d know about out treatment at her hands
First of all, thank you so much for your support.
I'll try and explain my situation in brief.
My mother is a narcissist and my father is diagnosed with bipolar. I don't have a working relationship with him. I have a younger sister who is sixteen, and she behaves and treats me just like my mother does.
I hasn't told my father until a few months ago. He didn't react and did nothing. Which wasn't shocking because i knew he wouldn't do anything.
Moreover, my mother has an affair, which is hidden from my father and his side of family.
On the other hand, my mother's side of family are aware of the affair and have shown open support for the affair and the abuse she puts me through. They have hidden this from my father and his family because doing so will result in a divorce and they won't get any money from them. Currently, they have no regrets using them as an ATM.
My parental grandfather is the sole earner of our family and he supports me, but his hands are tied when it comes to dealing with my mother. He said that he cannot do anything about that.
So i am pretty much left alone when it comes to support from family. Previously i have shared my issues with close friends, but they have made it clear that listening to me time and again brings them down. So i have stopped sharing with them.
I used to have sessions with the college counselor. But it had to end because my final year came to an end.
So my only source of support is this online platform
