I agree. It certainly does seem as though that if they weren't narcs, they would have given an apology of some kind. The fact that this didn't happen makes me think that they likely have little to no concern for my needs and whatever is going on now is likely all part of some sort of game. I'm not even sure if it's worth bringing anything up to them, as if I do...... either they'll just attack me again or spin some sort of lies that are even more difficult to see through. To be honest, unfortunately, at this point, there's little (if anything) they could do to regain my trust. Given the way things were before and their apparent lack of empathy and lack of any apology, even if they did "come around", I honestly would just kind of wonder if it's all part of some kind of game. My "mom" seems to act like she's supportive of me in some ways and has reached out in some ways that she didn't before, but I really don't trust her......... don't think I'd ever really trust either of them. It would take a lot, and one part of a lot would be an apology, though I highly doubt that I'd ever get one. Even if I asked for one, I doubt I'd get it....... or if I did, it would probably be fake and phony.

I'm not sure exactly what they think they are getting out of me at this point, but they clearly have some sort of agenda. If I'm somehow wrong about them being narcs, I suppose I'll figure it out in time........ but I just see them as such at the time (though leaving the possibility of them not being that way open, as incredibly unlikely as that is). I suppose if I "was smart", I would just cut them off forever though, as the chances of them not being narcs are incredibly slim. Whatever is going on now is most likely just part of the ruse. I'm frankly not sure what is keeping me drawn into this ****. Though, I suppose that nowadays, if it turns out that they're not actually narcs...... then I'll see that, but it would take quite a lot in addition to an apology and I haven't even gotten that. So, I'd say 95% chance is they are narcs with ZERO empathy or concern for me and are 100% just concerned with themselves and their own interests and games. Good chance they have even trash talked me behind my back, though I don't know this...... just that it would be very fitting with what narcs do when they can't completely puppet someone like they wanted to do to me.
