I am 100% certain that my father is a grandiose, overt narcissist.
Following a traumatic childhood, where I was 'raised' by my father, I was ultimately diagnosed as a narcissist myself; self-labeled covert.
I am also more of the opinion that I am borderline first and foremost (fear of abandonment and rejection above all else), with narcissistic tendencies coming in second.
I am going through a divorce now; duh.
I am 100% convinced my ex also has outspoken overt narcissistic tendencies; not co-dependent.
I feel I am experiencing C-PTSD symptoms from all of it: relationship with my father, relationship with my ex and my own behavior.
I don't know what to believe anymore or which way to turn.
All I know is I want out and I can make a lot of sense from the information you share in your videos.
- Is it possible to be surrounded by narcissists in this way and be one yourself?
- Also: I've noticed this site offers help for sufferers of narcissistic abuse, worded in this way.
Being a (sometimes abusive) narcissist myself, am I somehow excluded from also being an abuse victim?
- Can you also provide resources for people who are 'mildly' narcissistic (if that even exists) and are really just looking for a sincere way out of the maze? It really doesn't help to always be labeled as a monster...
