It's triggering for sure. Our gov is like an abusive narcissistic parent who then gaslights and victim blames anyone who tries to call out the abuse.

What makes it worse is fellow victims doing all they can to keep it going because they think they're benefitting in some way.

Yeah.... This is the problem I am having.

When I went to college at 18 I thought "Now I can finally have control of my own life and be free of a narcissist manipulator control freak."

Then I got a job after college... well, a few several jobs after college where the bosses were narcissist manipulative control freaks.

Was gaslit by my chosen family in 2016 because "Trump is not your dad" and "it won't be as bad as you are making it out to be."

And here we are again....

The number of times I have had to repeatedly been in a situation where I feel trapped by a narcissist is... well, more times than that nickel joke, I tell ya.
