Hello,
I'm 41 years old and was in a bad marriage with a narcissist for 20 years at what point he left me, took a huge amount of my family's money and had a second life with another woman for 18 of those years. I'm surviving a battle for my daughter who is now 12 to be able to stay with me and away from his issues. When his control was gone my mother's stepped in. I can't be me even now and am a people pleaser who never can please her. I am miserable and not doing well with anxiety, fear, etc. I'm not sure that this didn't start in childhood since I basically moved from her control to his. 😔
I do t know how to go on day to day when I'm a constant failure and can never do anything right. I'm getting counseling but it's so little with very little effect.
