Hi there. I have had a terrible last 2 years trying to get along, avoid, going no contact with my 30 year old narcissist son. It has hurt me deeply to cut him out of my life but for the last 2 years I had no choice. I've prayed every night about my situation with him and God finally answered my prayers. My son started calling me again and actually invited us up to his new place for dinner. I was very anxious at first because I don't trust him and his tactics. But the day went very well and we got along just fine for the first time in a very long time. Now I don't know how long this will last because he uses me for his narcissist supply usually but I'm just taking it one day at a time. I have learned when to speak and when not to around him. But maybe it's a new start I don't know. My 9 year old granddaughter sure enjoyed us all being together so that made it all worth while to me. I just can't let him verbally abuse me like he's done in the past. I've gotten past that now and want to build a new life. I'm still very cautious around him and have to be on guard, but it's a beginning and that makes me happy.

That sounds wonderful especially for you & yoyr granddaughter.

Like you said. Just remember to constantly keep your guard up & keep your boundaries firm in dealing with the verbal abuse. Sounds like a new relationship may be in the workings. Wishing you the best with this for yoyr granddaughters sake.

Congratulations on your new start; especially with your granddaughter. Enjoy the good visit you had and look forward to others but stay on alert for a continuation of past behavior. I wish you well.
