You’ve escaped and you think you’re over it, and you’ve met a spectacular partner that you just click with.

So why do you feel like your narcissistic parent or ex is somehow destroying your relationship? Well, you could be projecting the narcissist… read on for some helpful tips on how to fix this.

The best way to overcome this is by teaching yourself what narcissistic abuse is, and what it isn’t, and rediscovering who you are.

Because what narcissists do is that they scoop out who you are, and put their needs, their wants, their dreams, and aspirations into you. Making it your responsibility to meet those goals and take on that persona.

This can be especially damaging for a child who is trapped in that environment while they are developing.

Healing means getting back to who you really are, and refusing to carry all of that anger, hurt and sorrow with you.

Then building rock solid boundaries that you create because you love yourself enough to put yourself first and protect yourself.
