There’s almost nothing a narcissist hates more than anyone else having healthy boundaries. They get to have boundaries for everyone else, but we get none. It causes problems in the beginning, but we will begin eliminating narcissists from our lives when we build and hold healthy boundaries. #grownostr

Narcissists don’t actually care about their kids, only that their kid makes them look good. They see their kids as an extension of themselves and as supply. They’ll say how much they love their kids as long as they make them look good. If they don’t, they’ll blame and shame and play victim. #grownostr

Often in retrospect we think about how we could have handled or behaved differently than we did. This is helpful as long as we’re not beating ourselves up for doing what we did. In each moment we are doing the best we can in that moment and that’s ok. Striving to be better is good, but beating ourselves up always holds us back from being better. #grownostr

No matter what anyone says. There is never any reason for someone to abuse another person no matter what! The only acceptable response is to own what they've done and stop repeating the behavior. Anything less is a continuation of the abuse. This is never ok and it's never something we must accept! #grownostr

Narcissists try to trick us into believing the way they treat us is with love. They may do nice things for us in the beginning and even on occasion, but this is a mask and a distraction for the manipulation and abuse. Trying to cover up abuse with nice things will never equate to love. #grownostr

They may not be directly abusive. They could simply be neglectful and unavailable. It doesn't even necessarily mean they are a narcissist. It also doesn't mean that it's not abuse. Neglect is abuse. It's still harmful, it just looks different than other abuse. It still hurts everyone involved! #grownostr

Getting out of toxic relationships is incredible and is needed. The real beauty comes in making and allowing the space to find ourselves perhaps for the first time in our lives.

Most of us don’t want to accept that narcissists are the way that they are. The sooner we can accept this, the sooner we can move forward with our lives. It doesn’t mean we accept what they do or think it’s ok. It simply means we accept they are what they are and they won’t change.
