Stop bullying by narcissistic, controlling, toxic parents
Stop Bullying by Narcissistic, Controlling, Toxic Parents
Hi, I’m Ben Leichtling, president of Bullies Be Gone. We’re going to talk about how to get the bullies gone from your life. Specifically, How to Stop Bullying by Narcissistic, Controlling, Toxic Parents
Even though you’re an adult, narcissistic, controlling, toxic parents can still make your life miserable. No matter how much they bullied and abused you when you were younger, they still claim that you owe them respect and loyalty, and that you should do what they want and need now. They don’t value your opinion or standards; they know best; you’re not important, they are; you’re still the bad child; you’re selfish and ungrateful; and you’re crazy because you don’t accept their view of reality or of your motives. Blah, blah, blah.
You’ve tried to tell them how you feel, how hurt you are. You’ve tried to reason with them and to prove that you do love them. You’ve tried hard to be a good child. But you’ve never succeeded. They never accept the proof.
You blew up and threatened them but they ignored you or they acted nice for a while until you relaxed and then they went back to the old ways and you didn’t hold the line. They wore you down. You stopped arguing and debating. You stopped setting real boundaries they couldn’t cross or there would be consequences - not just words.
This is a now test for you. This is a moment of truth. This is where you choose the beliefs, attitudes, rules and roles for yourself as an adult. This is where you have a chance to throw off the burden of the brain-washing they subjected you to for years.
You must stand up against the culture they tried to beat you into. You must start living by a new culture; one that fills your heart, mind and spirit.
You owe them nothing. You owe everything to your future and the wonderful life you can create. You owe everything to the family you need to protect and to set an example for.
You need to set an example that the people who you allow into your environment, into your personal space, are people with good behavior. Good behavior counts more than bad blood. If they won’t behave the way you want, they don’t get into your life.
Protecting your personal space is more important than ineffective old rules about “polite” behavior.
Don’t debate; don’t argue. Don’t wait for their agreement or permission. They don’t get to vote on your life. If you need to, cut off phone, email, social network communication. Don’t listen to relatives who beg you or try to twist your arm. Move 3,000 miles away.
Make a bully-free space for yourself and your family. Don’t give in. Be the hero of the life you’ve dreamed of.
Guard your personal ecology. Don't allow anyone to pollute your life. Don’t let energy vampires suck the life from your life. Don’t let narcissistic, controlling, toxic parents ruin the rest of your life. Instead, use your time and energy to be physically and financially independent. Use your time and energy to find and create the family that fills your heart mind and spirit.
Clear and simple. Just not easy. So what? Thousands have done it before you and you can too.
Make something wonderful out of your remaining 20-30-40-50 years. Be the hero of the rest of your life. Take charge of your future by taking charge of yourself.
Of course, there are many complications depending on your situation. The best way to learn how: 1. To take power in your life, 2. To be the person you want to be, and 3. To have a rich, full, wonderful life is to hire me for personalized coaching and counseling.
So please call me at 1-877-8Bullies, that’s 1-877-8Bullies, so we can create a plan that will be effective in your specific situation.

    My son is 14, was abused by his father (whom also had an abusive relationship with me), whom medicated him and did all kinds of other harms, including kidnapping him and dying of an overdose in my kids’ presence. When he came back into my life, I devoted myself to being the best parent that I could to his damages. Instead of receiving my love, and healing, he began narcissistic abuse towards me and his little sister. I have documented the entire thing with video and audio, because of what I had been through prior. I was just video diary recording when he came in all abusive and he raged because I was “recording him”, when I was simply doing my video journal. I suggest that you put your foot down entirely to the abuse, let them know that you are recording, for your own protection, and remember that you are protecting yourself, by keeping your calm and being a non contributing factor to the whole petulance that they are smearing on you like a hot buttered bun.

    The description given is exactly how my son treats me. I’m not allowed to speak or talk, or even send my grandsons anything. I went through this behavior before but that was parental alienation. I’m on a fixed income being a disabled vet. My finances are extremely tight but I want to be stronger for myself. I am constantly pushing my emotions down & I know it’s going to hit me hard one day.

    Thank the Lord, only one of my adult kids has estranged himself ( 7 years ago) from us . He is an “ incel” as they are referred to- ( that recently decided he’s a woman) he is 38 . We pray constantly for him. But you do learn to move on. We are honoring his decision to be without us by never trying to contact in any way. We recently and finally got a living trust made. We did not include him . He will never be told when we die because he also cut his three other siblings out of his life so he won’t know the difference. Our other kids are incredible parents and work so hard to be responsible and decent human beings. They take full advantage of our love and adoration of our grandkids by allowing us to watch them. We are so grateful for them all. I have an old elementary photo of my son on my refrigerator held in place with a magnet that has 2 Corinthians 1:29 “ His grace is sufficient for you”. I encourage any parent going through estrangement to trust your adult child to the Lord.

    They are hurt. I reaped what i sowed. I neglected them for a relationship/marriage of 23 years to a narcissist after divorce from their cheating father. I justified my behavior, and met their school, health, physical needs, but missed SO much more. I own it all. My grief is real. My self imposed depression is real. Looking back, am horrified at myself. I can't and shouldn't forgive myself, so i depend on God to forgive 😢. Grace 😊. My earthly grandaughter is benevolent and loves me and will help out as possible. God's blessing to me. I hope she will heal this generational abuse of emotional neglect. I will not dump on her or manipulate her. She has a LOT on her plate. She is good at identifying issues, so I will wait til she sees what i need, as I fear and hate asking anyone for help. She is adept at this however, and discusses all matters with me for my dignity. opinions and solutions. She will try to help me get services. I took care of her when she was young, quite a bit. She says she wants to help out now. I cant and dont expect more from my son and daughter, who prefer no contact. The rare times we communicate, I feel the electric politeness. So, people, beware of how you hurt/neglect your children. You will need them someday, and guess what? Karma. You cant go back in time. You cant/dont/shouldnt expect forgiveness. You live with regrets, but strive to cope with your mistakes by letting go and just living day to day as best you can with the help of antidepressants and u tube.. Im 74 on dialysis with impaired mobility. Now, I need them so much , but then, they neededi me too. So now, I go with the flow and let each day take care of itself. And use cannabis for pain and stress relief. And its mental anguish numbing effect. Just passing this along as friendly advice, because in the end, your family was the most important, yet you forfeited them first. Through selfishness. Is there any humor in all this? If so, let me know. 😮

      @ellyk8834 Місяць тому

      Most estranged parents are like that (clearly toxic) and yet they all act innocent and absolutely confused as to why their off-spring avoid them. Well from my POV these parents do not like their off-spring and treat them accordingly and shockingly, the 'child' on the receiving end of their constant denigration hits their limit of it and exits the relationship. Then, in true Narc fashion they ask, "How will I know what I did wrong if they won't tell me!" Oddly, as a child of one of these types the only way they don't grasp that they treat absolute unknown strangers better then their children is denial. They KNOW what the issues are they 1. Don't care and 2. Refuse to own their behavior. But yet they think this is a problem that is really on their child to 'solve'... And by solve I mean they think their children should not just ignore their disdain but honor/worship that sub-par parent for life.

So guess what he does to his child when they express how they felt mistreated? He completely gaslight and denies any wrongdoing then blame shifts and says his child is mistreating HIM. Utterly sickening new generations have started the cycle to make it known abuse will no longer be tolerated because you are the "parent." You don't one day just leave people who treat you amazing and always have your back

      @Flyfreenow I'd love to hear why you're adult children don't like you. Parents NEVER admit the faults they did if they are cut off by their children. YOU raised them. Whenever you hear why children cut off their parents they always Give descriptive details and share their parents deny everything. It's almost unnatural for kids to not like the people they are around since birth to adulthood. Did you ask them why they treat you that way??? Or did you just think they magically do it like most narcissist parents?? Would you be willing to change some things they need you to do to respect their boundaries?? Or are you stuck in your ways. If a child sees their parent refuses change then they just lie to you and use you until you finally notice . I've seen this time and time again. The parent refuses to ever admit fault or understand other perspectives and refuse to change so the child realizes talking it out is pointless and they just use them until it's finally noticed.

  • @manmanman6956
    @manmanman6956 2 місяці тому

    Most narcissistic parents are looking for evidence their child was who they were. The truth is your kids don' t talk to you because you were abusive narc. People have huge natural desire to have a parent in their life, and anyone with any experience in this matter knows that only super abused, usually children of Narcs cut off a parent. Children can handle a drunk parent, even a super annoying parent, a broken parent, and ugly parent. They will never cut them off, it' is only super toxic narcs that kids have to cut off from and they don't have a choice. They do this because you are super abusive when you are controlling, vindictive and self centred. You ruin all their happy moments and try to stifle their growth. You try to get involved in their lives where they ask you not to. You invade their privacy, cross every normal healthy boundary, you make everything completely about you. You will notice that lots of children grow up and have great warm close relationships with parents that you always said were losers or whatnot, but the truth is much different. 99 times out of 100 when a child cuts out a parent it is a abusive parent and usually a narc or sexual abuse.

      Yeh, the "liberal throw away society." The throw away attitudes of morals, the throw away religion, the throw away anything that doesn't feel good. Buying into the devil's plan and work...Thank God we still have so many young people and adults who stand firm against this decaying world of disbelief and disposable throw away love and parents.

    Or maybe they just genuinely don't want to see you anymore and have a good reason for that. Boomers are the biggest cry bullies.

    What folks need to understand is that everyone is way beyond fed up with the antiquated “Authoritarian” parenting style, which very closely resembles narcissistic personality disorder. I mean, that may have served its purpose when your child was an infant… or maybe if you own a dog. But it’s no longer acceptable to treat a grown ass adult like that, regardless of if you’re their parent(s) or not. The delusions of superiority, infallibility with the whole “I can’t be wrong!” thing, along with the controlling behavior are simply no longer going to be tolerated by most. Also, keep in mind that there is a huge movement today of folks educating theirselves on NPD abuse and most every mental health person out there says to go “no contact” with them. Authoritarian parenting styles looks almost exactly like NPD. So, go ahead and play the “victim” role, but that for sure won’t change your situation as it’s also precisely what a textbook, true NPD case does as well when their unacceptable behavior is called out. Good luck!

      I have experienced what you described, but as a parent. The adult child addressed me or talked down to me as a judgemental, authoritarian parent bully would be, but it was a grown up child with that role, and it was mean spirited, and nasty. No thank you, I do own up for having a "sensitive nature", and that is what some children hate, they become hard hearted because they are afraid to be soft or seen as weak. That is their problem, not the parent. We can't control the way our children see us, or don't like us or our nature and personality, and yet I have seen this play out several times over the years in people's lives.

      @@birdlynn417 My advice for you would be to keep in mind that they are a grown adult, and that they don't owe you anything whatsoever. They are 100% free to speak their minds and convey precisely how they feel, no matter what. Also, consider approaching them and asking them (in person or on phone talking at least) if they have some kind of problem with you that would like to share or address? Once you do that, and if they say "no" and continue with a nasty, unprovoked attitude then just treat them as you would any other adult that acted that way towards you.

      @@birdlynn417 Way too many parents have this ridiculously silly "I can't be wrong" attitude and also act like they are better than their adult child, or that the adult child is not "good enough" in the parent's eyes and so on. These ^ behaviors look/sound exactly like Narcissistic Personality Disorder and will typically be be responded too accordingly, especially since the topic of NPD (and how to deal with them) is so heavily-trending today.
