But it is not fair to say that, okay, yeah, your siblings have the right to go out and work and live because they're adult enough to handle life and they're old enough to take care of things and, you know, survive in the world. But no, not you, because you're supposed to sacrifice yourself and your life until the narcissist passes away.
Imagine turning to your extended family for support, only to find their advice makes things worse. In this episode of 'Self Evolution Regardless', Maram Ben Rhouma sheds light on why seeking guidance from extended family members about narcissistic abuse can backfire. When dealing with the emotional turmoil of narcissistic abuse, victims often look to trusted family members for help. However, Maram explains that these well-meaning relatives might not always have your best interests at heart.
Instead, they may unknowingly support the narcissist, leaving you feeling more isolated and misunderstood. Maram dives into how biases and opinions from extended family members can skew their advice. Rather than offering a neutral perspective, they might prioritize the narcissist's needs over yours, making you feel blamed for wanting to leave a toxic situation. This episode emphasizes the importance of making your own decisions and protecting yourself from further emotional harm.
Through relatable anecdotes and practical advice, Maram encourages listeners to trust their instincts and seek support from those who genuinely understand their struggles. She highlights the necessity of setting boundaries and finding strength within oneself. If you're grappling with narcissistic abuse and wondering who to turn to, this episode offers valuable insights into why extended family might not be the best option and how to safeguard your well-being.
