Dr. Ramani had a You Tube series, a couple years ago! Her advice and help guided me through what steps I could take, regarding a super narcissistic person, in my family, who was taking advantage of my empathy and kindhess, by manipulating me. I had already been in therapy fot a number of years, dealing with major depression, because growing up, I had a malignant narcissistic Mom. and a Dad who had PTSD, from WW II, when he was in the military, landed on Okinawa, Japan, in a U boat, and killed the enemy, in battle! So, as a child, I was. abused physically and mentally, as a child! Having a support group, for narcissistic personality survivors, within this Mayo forum, would be a needed help, for many people!
Sorry to hear of your pain growing up with those around you and then later in your life. I’m happy that Dr. Ramani was able to help through her You Tube videos. She still has many out there to view. Maybe you could shed some light to all others as to what helps you on your path of recovery. I am somewhat new to all of this and I know that setting up healthy boundaries made a huge difference. Thanks for posting your experience.
