  • BS | Fuck Off Boomers; The Covert Narc Echo Chamber

    We've all heard your story. Now it's time to hear ours. 

    It's the Bite Sized summary of the full episode, ready for a quick taste?

    Why do so many of our parents have the same unfortunate covert abuse tactics in their front pocket? Why did we grow up with an unhealthy narrative about self-worth and self-accountability? Where did all this narcissistic energy come from, originally? Well, I was going to do a deep dive into the Silent and Boomer generations to let you know, but after the springtime personality disorder uprisings have tried my last nerve... let's reapproach this episode from a less enabling perspective. One that doesn't contribute to the abuse echo chamber they've popularized in the world they (very practically) ruined. Fuck Off Boomers. Remember, be sure to tune in on Thursday for big news. You'll want to be here.

  • Bite Sized | Parent Narcissists and CPTSD

    Last time we learned about a new type of Narc; the "Covert" variety... who sound an awful lot like our mothers, collectively. So what happens if you WERE raised by a Narcissist mom, in particular? What are the common characteristics of the relationship? What are the common childhood templates under Narcissistic Abuse? What happens to kids - specifically daughters - in the long run? And how do you deal with someone who doesn't want to treat you differently?

    Have a CovNarc parent of your own? Hit me up at [email protected] or t-mfrs.com anytime. Share your story; written or recorded, I'd love to put it on the show.

  • Bite Sized | Defining Covert (Vulnerable) Narcissists
    Quick takes from the full episode, ready to consume in one sitting. 
    Have you been convinced that everything about you was "wrong?" Does someone in your life make you feel... "off," in a way that's anxious, fearful, defeated, and self-doubting? Ever see that the person "helping" actually seemed to make the situation a lot worse? And then... do they bring it up for the next 20 years or so as proof of their merit?
    Ah, yeah. So life comes to a head, thanks to some deep dives into Covert (Vulnerable) Narcissist research. How about you? Today, we're talking about the characteristics of a Covert Narc and the symptoms that may present in YOU, in the aftermath.
    Dealing with a CovNarc situation of your own? Tell me about it and help me with my crowdsourced episode goal. Hit me up anytime at t-mfrs.com or traumatizedmotherfuckers.com.

  • Bite Sized | Stigmatizing Covert Abuse
    Back with a quick, consumable rundown of the full episode on Abuse Stigma. For the complete recording... uh... click again. 
    You've probably realized, abuse is a dirty topic not to happily discussed in the public sphere. Victims are blamed. Cases are dismissed. And perpetrators are enabled. But what's the point of our ignorance towards domestic abuse? Is there a reason why we tend to limit the scope of "abuse," blame-shift, and willfully forget? And how does abuser stigma actually perpetuate the thing we hate? We've all said it. We've all thought it. We've all... been cognitively dissonant about it.  "But they seem like such a nice guy/gal." Beware the nice guy. Even if that includes YOURSELF.

  • Guest | Monica, on Acknowledging and Overcoming Parental Abuse

    Taking advantage of an amazing MF who shared her story with me last week. Today, Monica proves her Motherfuckerdom by sharing her tales of growing up with two unhealthy parents, what she's learned since separating herself, and moving forward in her (is this called "happy?") life.  

    Thank you Monica for being so ballsy and putting yourself out there. You help validate MFs everywhere - self included - with your experience. Reach out anytime with your tale @ [email protected] and stop spreading silence.

  • Coping Strategies for Covert Abuse and Black Sheep Syndrome
    So that last episode was an unexpected doozy, huh? (Still mortified.) Well, I'm back in Illinois and ready to clear the air with some actual LESSONS from this mess. In the past two weeks, here's where I've been, what I've realized, and what my therapist (and a helpful listener) has recommended for continuing to live under the same roof as an emotional abuser. 
    Talkin' bout practical ways to distance yourself from abuse... when you can't literally distance yourself. Namely, learn to see yourself as "the adult" and not to give a fuck about these screaming children. In the best way possible.
