Hi everyone, I just joined and wanted to introduce myself. I am a 43 yo only child of an overt narc mother, and a covert narc stepfather. Bio dad never in the picture. Went no contact when they abandoned me on Christmas 12/14 and have since stayed NC which, I consider to be one of the greatest achievements of my life. However, I feel completely frozen - the main abusers are gone - weeded out the narc friends, however no one is left. I am totally alone, except for 2 friends. No family - narc parents drive them all away. I started therapy on Friday and have a great feeling about my counselor. Want to leverage the time I have in therapy to learn more about this & recover from it, she has a specialty in PTSD and trauma, but not C-PTSD. Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated. In many ways I feel a sense of arrested development. hope to individuate and feel a greater sense of knowing myself, apart from who they told me I was. Look forward to getting to you know you all
