General Chat

Afew years ago now, I stuck my head above the parapets and declared that I had had an abusive mother who I had found had had a narcissistic personality disorder.

To my surprise, I had over two hundred posts on my thread each one of us thinking we were the only victim.

Well, through other threads on Face Book, I have joined a group for the children of narcissistic and toxic parents.

Many are in the USA but there are still no fewer than fourteen and a half thousand members in the group.

Sharron,

It appears that Phillip Larkin the poet was right then.!!!!!

This be the verse!!!!!!!!! :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Sharron - I remember your previous thread & found it hard to understand the technical term. I suppose I should be thankful that none of my siblings 'suffered' from such harrowing events.

Is there a general expression to cover 'good parents'?

On the understanding that nobody is perfect, I think the phrase is 'good enough parent'.

Sharron,

Thanks for putting up this thread, as I know there are many victims of bad parenting of all kinds, whether it be mental or physical, or just being totally ignored. This can ruin a persons life in all sorts of ways.

The more this is brought into the open, the better,

I think that is the most effective thing we can do to make some impression. We need to make people aware of reality.
