Codependent Responses to Dysfunctional Family Problems


I stopped trying to help resolve relationships in our dysfunctional family. The narcissists in the family see every attempt to resolve things as a personal attack rather than seeing it as an opportunity to have a meaningful discussion to make things better. Narcissists don't care if things get better as long as they win over those they wish to dominate through manipulation.
We are not responsible for the feelings, choices and actions of others who want us to take responsibility for their stuff.
Boundaries are an offense to narcissists. They see boundaries as rejection because they cannot place themselves in the shoes of others to understand them and their choices.
Controlling others is the goal of all narcissists. If they cannot control you then you are now a target for mean-spirited actions and attitudes.
Here is a very good video on this subject!
