Narcissistic parent dilemma
Trauma Support / by aquaSky5365

...See more So about 5 years ago I moved countries to reunite with my twin who had been disowned by my parents (narcissistic dictator dad and victim helpless mom) and also for a fresh start to recover after developing what I later found out to be Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Within 2 years My physical and consequently my mental health declined and I isolated from practically everyone. When they didn’t hear back from me and knowing I was depressed and sick, my parents and my narcissist elder sister disowned me too without any words being spoken on either end. After a long period of guilt and shame I realized nobody else gave up on me except them and then I educated myself on narcissism, childhood trauma and emotional neglect, etc. I realized it was a blessing that I was out of that toxic environment that was never going to change. I have reached out twice since but no response. Slowly and painfully I’ve come to terms with this but last week I heard from my uncle who is one of the few that hasn’t been cut off by them that my dad is seriously ill. I’ve been anxious and guilty all week about all the things left unsaid and feel empathy for my mom as she will literally be isolated but at the same time I understand that that they won’t be able to handle me be totally honest with them for the first time. I don’t harbor any I’ll will for them, it’s just who they are. I still feel bad about it though. Any thoughts? Thank you.
