					<description><![CDATA[[&#8230;] My dad&#8217;s malignant narcissism meant that he often presented himself to be two completely different people, as in he would be the most demeaning manipulative destructive man to me directly, but then when friends of the family came over, he pretended to be this loveable man that I would be best buddies with. I began seeing my dad as two different people, one that I feared and had to be perpetually hyper vigilante about, and the other ( false ) persona he put on in public was the opposite but still scared me. I thought I was starting to lose my mind. I thought that it was ALL my fault. I felt that I had embarrassed him SO much that he was putting on this fake act to hide that fact so he could continue to destroy me privately. This is when I began to develop C-PTSD ( Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder ). This link helps to explain how C-PTSD occurs in children of narcissistic parents. https://cptsdfoundation.org/2020/06/15/narcissistic-abuse-and-complex-post-traumatic-stress-disorder&#8230; [&#8230;]]]></description>

It is natural for children to want a relationship with their parents. We were at one time highly dependent on them for survival. It may be that you need to seek a therapist to help you work all this out. Have you searched for a trauma-informed therapist? You&#039;ll have better luck, I think. Please take good care of yourself.

I&#039;m suffering severally and alone.Both parents are narcissistic with sociopathic behavior I went no contact in 2018 I live alone and I&#039;m very iscolated.Instead of getting better I feel I&#039;m going backwards and I&#039;m at the point I feel their abuse has finally drove me to insanity.People think they know the damage of this behavior but u cant even find words for the hell they put u threw.Im 47 and I don&#039;t know what to do anymore,I dont wanna be alone.I tell someone and they think your just depressed and go to a therapist.Therapist don&#039;t even understand.Unless u are lucky enough to find one that has first hand knowledge then forget it.Its a very dark place to be and I don&#039;t know how to move past.I have a dog that I love dearly but at times I feel that she is to much responsibility for me,I cant Handel any stress,negativity any sort of responsibility.Do I just give in and find my out? What does one do when the damage is beyond help? I cant take anymore.I don&#039;t wanna be alone because of my own thoughts but years of isolation has left me completely alone.When I wake its overwhelming,I have read that cortisol levels are highest when waking,its almost to much.i desperately don&#039;t wanna be alone,I can&#039;t turn my thoughts off,I cant funtion.This abuse is pure evil,pure hell! Because my father is covert and hides behind this curtain sometimes showing affection I still wanna wanna run to him for support,I have to remind myself it&#039;s only a mask,close your ears and open your eyes.They are both pure evil.i think there is a trama bond and I&#039;ve been abused to the point where I feel very much like a child and need them.i know it sounds crazy,all I know Is nobody understands unless you have danced with the devil themselves.How do I continue to love and want their love even thou they destroyed my entire life.]]></description>

Dr. Jay Reid is professionally educated accredited psychologist on YouTube.  He is excellent.  I&#039;ve seen very few YouTube channels with real professionals.  It makes such a huge difference. Good luck!]]></description>
