This episode hits home, because it's about narcissism, and I've live most of my life in close relationship with people who have this mental disorder. 

Most likely we all know someone who is a narcisst, but when it's someone you are caregiving for, it makes life extremely difficult. Caregiving can already bring feelings of isolation and depression, but if you are spending time with a narcisst regularly, it exasperates these feelings.  

I share about my relationship with two narcisst in my life, my father and my ex-husband. I do this to help any of you listening who may be unaware of the way narcisst treat people, and help you determine if you are in a relationship with one. 

Sometimes it's impossible to leave a relationship, so what can you do? I hope my story brings you some clarity, as you possibly relate to what I experienced.  Through studying, I've learned how to avoid heartache, in a relationship with a narcisst. 

Listen to the podcast and learn what you can do, as a caregiver to a narcisst.

Remember, to include yourself in the care you give, even if the narcisst tried to pull you toward only existing to serve them.
