What to do when family is negligent
Trauma Support / by OceanSoughs

...See more I'm currently at a loss. My siblings and I live vastly different lives and we all live pretty scattered. There's a clear emotional distance going on between us, and with the exception of one sibling, I mostly feel like a stranger around them whenever the family came together. Most interactions are generally superficial. Messages of mine that I sent to them are left on read. I once tried professing to my two oldest siblings about the narcissistic abuse, hoping that maybe we could confide in each other since they too went through the same and cut our abuser off, but only my second oldest sibling gave a response of wishing me good luck in finding help. The nature of it was more of what a stranger would say. Despite having five siblings I strongly feel their apathy and therefore feel so alone. But I don’t know if it's time to cut most of them off.

Having to live by the principle "anything you say, can and will be used against you."

...See more When I still used to live with my covert narcissistic mother I remember clearly how I had to filter my information, how I had to learn not to share anything too personal and/or confidential lest it was going to be an opportunity for her to weaponize it. I had to live by the principle of "anything you say, can, and will be used against you." to the point where I barely spoke/shared in order not to get hurt. Has anyone else experienced something similar?
