@anita_rotheram @Christmas_Snow We all have our coping skills, there is no one-size-fits-all. I grey rock my malignant narc landlord.
Just seeing me happy while I walk round not giving a crap what my birth parents are doing is more than enough for me at my point in healing, mostly because I know it drives them batty.
Both parents have their share of enablers. It's like one giant cult minus the fancy name.
I escaped the cult. It was not easy but I did it.
