ONE STORY...VARIATIONS ON THE THEME

[gnostic]

mama
from what i been readin bout narcissism
i got it even more nailed down
how it could have been u
who let the vampire spirits in the door

and from what i been readin
bout enneagram 3 and narcissism
how they well they ignore
what could free them from their grandiose self delusion
and turn it around to manipulate others
there be more info
but is it enuf in your case
to save others who still buy into u bein the noble one
as your form of narcissism methinks
were one of the forms that could pull that off better

papa
so her siren song pulled u in at first
and then you began to see her odd ways
and tried to help her
but felt overpowered
and tried to save the children...
but then you went over to the dark side
of the narcissist's enabler...
tho she still made you to be at fault..
you allowed that in the end
and left the rest to twist in the wind...
with you

yes and no:)
but what i was refering to there
by "further down the line"
are nephews and nieces
where mom's self glorification
is still taken as making her the noble one
and dad the flawed one
uh not sayin that dad is without flaws
as if he were he could have handled
mom's makin him the one ALWAYS AT FAULT

If I understand you correctly, you are bypassing a generation, namely you! Dad is not totally without flaws as all of us are.  We just need to be "good enough".  Meaning, we are strong enough or daring enough or 'crazy enough" to dispute the pattern without having our relatively minor flaws totally eridicate the the relatively normal person we are.  Narcissistic people have as their weapons the ability to disabuse us of all of our natural and normal thoughts.  In other words, we are the crazies and they are supreme.  To buy into this manipulation is not a judgement of our own mental health.  It suggests that we are "co-dependent" (ugh, such a judmental term which can, in itself, put us back in our own place  so that we are afraid to even talk about what is going on and can force us to supply the feed back a disturbed person needs to continue living)  Your nieces and nephews need to know that you are trying to break the cycle...Is that what your are trying to do?  If so, I commend you.
