Ah.  Narcissists gating relationships, the oldest trick in the book.

Growing up is learning that, maybe not everything wrong is actually your fault.  Also that some family estrangement is necessary when you don’t want to end up like them….Like some are actually indirectly praised for their shady scheming abilities.

Is that neurotypical or neruro-psychotic? 

Please share healthy family dynamics if there are any out there…
