The narcissist doesn’t want you to be happy. Your happiness is their sadness. They can’t help themselves. Stop wasting your valuable time thinking they’re going to one day change. The likelihood of that happening is slim to none. I get being optimistic. However, a person has to want to change. A narcissist thinks you’re the one who has the problem. They will play mind games with you until you break or shut them out for good by going no contact. If you have kids, listen to Dr. Ramani’s podcast or You Tube channel for advice on how to coparent with a narcissistic parent. Take control over your life by setting boundaries and stick to them. If you put the work in, you will win! You got this!
