Neglect /Narcissistic Abuse – Charlie McCarthy

I want you to know that what you’re experiencing is incredibly challenging, and your grief, rage or sense of injustice about feeling as if you’re unimportant, invisible, ignored, uncared for, and unloved are entirely valid. It’s important to acknowledge that being in the presence of a narcissist or a psychologically abusive person can be deeply damaging, as they often prioritise their own needs and interests above all else.

Your pain is real, and it’s not your fault. Narcissists (alienating parents often fall into this category) thrive on manipulation and control, and they may make it seem as if you’re the one at fault, but please remember that this couldn’t be further from the truth. It’s all too common not to recognise the presence of a narcissist until we’ve already been deeply affected. They can be incredibly skilled at hiding their true intentions, and they excel at making us feel like we’re the ones who should be changing to meet their demands.

But here’s the truth: when we subjugate our own needs, wishes, and interests for the sake of a narcissist, we unintentionally empower them even more. It’s like feeding a never-ending appetite; they are insatiable in their need for control and admiration.

Please understand that you are not alone in this struggle. Many have faced similar challenges. It’s not an easy journey, but breaking free from the grip of narcissistic abuse is possible. You deserve love, care, and respect, just as anyone else does. Your spirit may feel crushed now, but with the right support, self-care, and healing, you can begin to mend the wounds inflicted.

Remember that seeking help through therapy or support groups can be a significant step towards understanding and healing from this traumatic experience. You have the strength within you to regain your power, rebuild your life, and emerge from this darkness into a brighter future.

You are important, visible, cared for, and loved, even if it doesn’t feel that way right now. Your journey to reclaiming your self-worth begins with recognising your value and taking steps towards a healthier, happier, and more fulfilling life. Keep going. Stay strong, my friend.

#1 tool of Narcissist is Neglect

Yep 👍

Mom ( several reasons including AMA practices , shame ) but all the same she put in little effort to mothering each of us , leaving 5 kids vulnerable to shadow energy.

Then unknowingly I married a man whose core was to neglect me .

Food in healing 💯

I totally get this … our home lacked food and certainly healthy food ; grateful for what we have .

Some folks weaponized food , some will eat anything and hold so much weight ; most always relates to childhood trauma .

Our children had a Mom who seldom if ever functioned after medications for Bipolar I that was induced by toxic medications and physically altered me. So our children experience lack. As did I. If he was home he took them out for food ; eldest worked and middle one and youngest fledged for themselves .

Haunted me for years because of what it did to neglect and abuse our children and project I was at fault ,for not doing my job . No one is that disinterested; it was his out as it had been for a decade. A lord of the manner , who failed to be of service , demanding to be served.

Tuesday Weld – Survivor of childhood neglect /abuse

What a beautiful soul, and may she celebrate her birthday in abundant good health and comfort of her every need

Happy 80th Birthday Tuesday Weld
On the set of DOBIE GILLIS the crew noticed Tuesday off camera was shy and withdrawn, as if hiding something. She was seen hitchhiking from the set and no one had actually met her mother. Then the crew noticed she would hit the food table after the actors had left and put the food in her handbag.
Her mom would leave her for weeks and months at a time on flings beginning when she a pre-teenager. There would be no money or food. She tried out for the role on Gillis hoping she could make enough money to eat. Today Tuesday is 80 years old. But she is also a survivor. Respect.
