Hi there. just a couple of days ago i got a chance to see both of my granddaughters at the same time which should have made me a happy camper. But i was so worried the whole time about what kind of words that would come out of my son's mouth and what he would pull or put me down again with that I couldn't even enjoy the moment. i actually worked myself up to being emotionally ill right before they came to my house because i was dreading the unknown. My 2 sons have caused me a great deal of suffering and pain always bringing up my past and putting me down that i can't hardly even get happy just long enough to visit with my new granddaughter and my 9 year old one, By the time they all left, i was so ready and so emotionally drained that I had to take a nap, I can't seem to enjoy even the good things in my life anymore because I've been so traumatized by my narcississtic son. It's really bad and I feel like I'm just going to crumble at times.

Have you been able to tell your sons how this affects you?

Sounds like you go through a very rough time.

It's tough maybe wanting to set some limits with your sons as well as fearing doing so may cause further distance in the family.

Do you work with a therapist? I hope so as I think a therapist might be very helpful to you.
