Re: In a world of hurt

You're welcome. As an adult, you can and should break away as long as the N is in the picture. It's good your friend is getting counseling--hopefully with a good counselor. In the meantime, if I were you, I'd keep my distance until he has proven to you that he has rid himself of the N. I grew up with a narcissistic mother and as a child, I couldn't escape. My siblings and I were--for a lack of better expression--a captive audience. That's why I tell adults to break away from any Ns in their lives. Unlike a child, you do have a choice. Tweet
