Sometimes, I feel like I am sat in an eternal, never-ending waiting room on my own. I am anxiously awaiting my name to be called. I never know when it is going to happen or why. I can’t leave even though I am uncomfortable…so, I wait.

Sitting in that unique, imaginary waiting room evokes a mix of emotions…many of which are similar to our experiences of waiting in a Doctor’s Surgery.

Listen as I explore what sitting with ongoing trauma can look and feel like for children of narcissistic parents.

Dealing with narcissistic parents doesn’t come with a time line or specific treatment plan. There isn’t a pill, an ointment or a plaster big enough for the deep wounds.

It is one reason that the healing process is so unique.

The good news is that I can be sitting in the waiting room and still live a very happy, hopeful and fulfilling life. The reality is painful and unfair - for sure - but we can choose to be happy.

I have been dealing with my own worst enemy as long as I can remember. If I looked into mirrors, I would see her far too often. But, I didn’t need to see my reflection to know that she was right here. You guessed it! I am talking about me.

As children, we believe every word our parents say. Why doubt them? We don’t because what they say is the truth…or is it?

For far too long, I believed my narcissistic parents. Eventually, I had to make the conscious choice to NO LONGER BELIEVE. It didn’t happen overnight, but it happened. I now listen to my own voice. I believe my own truth.

That one choice has changed my life.

You can choose to do the same.

For those navigating toxic, narcissistic family relationships, we are all too aware of the price we have paid and continue to pay. In some very real ways, it feels like we are being robbed every single day. What can cost that much? I am referring to the LOSS that happens when - as a child of narcissists - you choose to stand up, speak out, speak your truth and, if necessary, cut ties altogether.

The price keeps increasing and the cost gets greater. It’s a gradual process, not happening all at once, like a simple bank transaction.

For me, the cost meant standing alone, which resulted in having no extended family for my children. I used to apologise for that, especially since it was a direct result of my hard choices. No more apologies! I now embrace ‘just us.’ I wouldn’t change it for the world because I have everything I need…EVERYONE I need! It’s JUST US.
