Some children learn to be narcissistic by the examples they live....in the case of my daughter because she was a scapegoat and never received true approval she strove to imitate some in the family that had narcissistic traits. It is a coping mechanism......"If I can just be more like ..the abusive person...they will love"....kind of thinking.
Yet the more she tried to be like the abuser.... the more she erased herself.....and still was left with no approval.
It was awful to watch my sweet little girl disappear from the inside out....but these past few years she has flourished.....and each year she gets more amazing and more beautiful.
This picture was taken less than two years from the one on the top.....what a difference!!!!
When we leave toxicity we are saving ourselves but our children as well!!!
