Hi All:
I am glad to find this board. Seems like a rough topic to form connections over for a person like me. I try to keep as private with my struggles as possible. However, as I am trying to leave yet another NPD guy and going through a battle in family court to try to protect my 3 year old daughter from her NPD father, changing for the better is my new life.
Briefly, my mom has NPD. Physical, verbal abuse and neglect (leading to childhood sexual abuse) wildly varying with unrealistic expectations for vicarious achievement left me quite a mess. Hence the C-PTSD. I have spent several years in counseling with the goal of being a healthier and happier (whole) person. It has been a long hard road. Hopefully, the journey to come will be a little bit easier.
Best Regards,
Moving onward and upward.
