The brain associates safety and good with familiar even it it's narcissism. That's the way the brain works. Brains associate pleasure with familiar, pleasure with narcissism, pleasure with smear campaigns. Backwards rationalizations. Have to punish you.

Narcissists exploit everyone and everything to inflate their fragile ego, including their children and spouse. These common roles are often found in a narcissistic family.

Relationships are ALWAYS transactional to the narcissist. Unconditional love is a foreign concept to them. Much like accountability. My mother was cruel. She didn't protect me. She participated in my exploitation. The wounds, decades old, still devastate me. 💔

Complex relational arrangements like estrangement don't bring with them simple emotional realities.

Relief. Guilt. Shame. Loss. Grief.
