You Are About To Discover Exactly How To Deal With A Toxic Parent With Stealth And Tact While Still Keeping Your Sanity Intact! Why does my parent (mother/father) behave as though I am invisible to them; never listening, showing concern or regarding my opinion? Why don't they ever realize they're hurting me when they scold irrationally, mortify and set unrealistic standards? Why does my parent overreact when I try to address their negative behavior? Why are they so critical, disparaging, opinionated, exploitative and insensitive (and often guilt tripping)? If you've been asking yourself one or more of such questions, then you might be dealing with a toxic or narcissistic parent, which means that you came to the right place. A child is naturally inclined to look to their parents for support, love and encouragement. It's important for us to feel like we're being seen and heard as we grow up. Unfortunately, some of us have to grow up with parents who not only deny us of these emotional security blankets, but use us as objects to further their own goals, secure their confidence through validation, secure attention to themselves and ignore our emotional needs- to say the least. Generally, such parents lack empathy and compassion, and their traits tend influence our lives negatively and make us feel hopeless, guilty, helpless and stuck. But there's a way out. By virtue that you are reading this, it clear that you are seeking help to come out of this endless cycle of frustration. How do I make my mother or father to stop tormenting me? Why do they do it all the time? Have I done something wrong to them? Do they hate me to be so toxic? How do I start creating boundaries? How do I still maintain a relationship with them after all that? When is it best to cut ties with them or minimize contact? Regardless of how toxic, selfish or narcissistic your parent is, you can transform your mind and deal with them accordingly to save your sanity and life. This book is here to show you what you need to do to not only cope with them, but establish a superior mindset to exercise choice, be positive and build yourself in all relevant aspects for lasting peace, happiness and success.

The one thing you have to remember if you are dealing with either a toxic sibling, or a parent, or both is that, in the end, they are narcissists. That means they are in it for themselves, that they want and need to see themselves as your superior and that they will do some evil things to you to maintain that illusion. It's simply who and what they are, and you cannot change them. On the other hand, you can change yourself. Remember that all relationships are optional, even family relationships. Sure, you have a biological tie with the narcissist who expelled you from their birth canal, as you do with the sibling that took that journey either before or after you. Still, all that is simply an accident of biology, and it doesn't mean you have to put up with their abuses. You are free to set the parameters of your life, and with that comes the option of dropping your abusive family member.

How Can A Toxic Parent Affect Your Life Relationships With Alcoholic Parents How To Process A Verbal Abuser How To Process Physical Abuser And Much More.
