Wow you described my Mom to a tee. The best solution I've found as an adult (because the narc abuse doesn't stop with childhood) was to go no contact. It's been an interesting 5 years but much more peaceful for me as I untangle the web of everything you described including physical health issues stemming from untreated childhood health neglect.

Thank you for a wonderfully written piece on a topic I wish didn't exist 🙏🏽
