This subreddit has brought me so much comfort

i’m so glad i stumbled across this subreddit. my whole life i’ve never been able to talk about my situation at home and any time i did i was met with stuff like “yea but at the end of the day they’re still your parent” or people simply wouldn’t believe me because the minute they’d meet my mom she would turn into the sweetest and most innocent and clueless person you’d ever meet. it made me look like an ungrateful liar, someone who exaggerated and was looking for attention.

this subreddit is seriously the only place where i feel understood and where i can talk about things without the fear of getting dismissed, invalidated or made to feel guilty.

i’m so proud of all of you and i hope each of you get to heal from the trauma, pain, stress and fears that these narcissists have brought you. you’re doing the best you can and that’s all that matters 🫂
