I had a very triggering phone call with my dad today. I'm trying to follow the thriving after abuse model instead of the survivor model but I don't know where else to post this.

During the course of the conversation my narcissistic father put me down and insulted me and my narcissistic mother got competitive so I ended up hanging up.

I feel emotionally crushed right now.

I am in an inheritance law suit and it's very difficult. I can't talk about it so I'm trying very hard to just talk about the emotional impact it's having on me. I broke down in tears during a legal proceeding on Monday.

My father totally discredited me for taking my daughter to the doctors for a medical problem and accused me of turning her into a hypochondriac .

I'm feeling devastated right now.

As you know my daughter has some mental health dx and I'm trying to get her into treatment. I asked my dad about family history today and he went off about his crazy mother. When I asked him if there was an actual dx he showed his wounds.

I feel compassion for my dad and yet he hurts me.

It's so complicated.
