When you're navigating narcissism, the reality is...... our emotions, our journey, our healing process is damn messy. Like.... train-wreck messy-ville one day, to happy-go-lucky positive Polly the next. The "how-to-process-narcissism PERFECTLY!" book doesn't exist, and it shouldn't. That's not real life. Listen to Angie pour out the details of the text she sent her mom, and her mom's response in return. Does her mother apologize for the heartbreak, the trauma, the mess? Or does she respond in true narcissistic form?

Reminder:: Give yourself some grace. You're continuously working on you. Give yourself a hug, and know your efforts to building a beautiful life ARE WORTH IT, and SO ARE YOU!
