"Perhaps the most difficult personalities encountered in anyone’s life are those that can clinically be labeled “narcissistic.”
It refers to a very describable disorder that can be diagnosed but treated only with difficulty. The narcissist is critically handicapped when it comes to recognizing and respecting boundaries.
They want to run your life (and will). Everything in the world revolves around them simply because their own boundaries are so non-existent.
Being in relationship with a narcissist can often be toxic. They often make us feel that the problem belongs with us, not them. We can begin to question our own sanity and judgment.
There are popular articles on the topic that I think are very helpful to those engaged in such situations. There are also spiritual questions that can be very problematic.
At the core of a narcissistic disorder is shame – overwhelming shame." Please continue reading here.

To help every daughter / son of narcissistic and psychopath 'mothers', and in rescue of all the victims of murderous communism, I wrote this prayer to Our Lady, Mother of God.
ReplyDeleteI got no more heart to break.
Great Theotokos,
Holy Mother of God,
Pray for me, your daughter too, who from the depths of despair and distress,
I cry out for your Love.
Protect me from enemies and hatred, from those who want to steal from me,
The bread, the light, the heat and the shelter for which I have worked and served so much throughout my life.
Protect me from all deprivations, under your cloak where there is never a lack of warmth.
Protect me from the envy of the evil and the soulless,
Save our souls, we whose worldly mothers abandoned us to hunger and death,
And our good protective Fathers are too far away to help us.
Free us from falsehoods and ensnarings.
Unmask the lies of the false ones in front of everyone, and banish them from everywhere.
Cast away all who attack the innocent,
And keep me under your loving eyes.
Detain and chain the devil and the impious, in the most remote hell, forever.
Keep me in your arms of tenderness and compassion,
Console my pain, accept my tears of grief,
Save me from hunger and cold, from storms, from fear, from the dark night.
Guide me forever, in your Light of love.
