The self-obsessed family member is one of the most challenging to cope with. It is so difficult to be on the other side of a family member who looks down their nose at you and complains about how life is so unfair to them, unlike life is unfair to anyone else.
This type of self-absorption is nauseating. They are always comparing themselves to others and fluctuating between everyone else has it better than they do, and they know more than anyone else about everything.
This type of self-centeredness makes it impossible to have relationships with them. You find that you can only go through the motions when around these family members. You start doing all you can to avoid seeing them, and when you do think about seeing them you feel feelings of dread. These are your signposts that it is high time to get this person out of your life.

I have joined with many parents affected with the surreal , yet accepted issue of child abuse via Pathogenic Parenting / Domestic abuse.
As a survivor of Domestic Abuse, denial abounded that 3 sons were not affected. In my
desire to be family to those who have found me lacking . As a survivor of psychiatric abuse, therapist who abused also and toxic prescribed medications took me to hell on earth with few moments of heaven.
I will share my life, my experiences and my studies and research.. I will talk to small circles and I will council ; as targeted parents , grandparents , aunts , uncles etc. , are
denied contact with a child for reasons that serve the abuser ...further abusing the child.
I grasp the trauma and I have looked at the lost connection to a higher power..
I grasp when one is accustomed to privilege, equality can feel like discrimination..
Shame and affluence silences a lot of facts , truths that have been labeled "negative".
It is about liberation of the soul from projections of a alienator , and abuser ..
