Regale me with hilarious/ridiculous things that a narcissist or enabler has said to you....

I'll go first.

My DF acts as enabler for my narcissist M, although I doubt he's fully aware of this. We were discussing her and my god-awful childhood yesterday over skype when he dropped in this little gem:

'Well, you were so quiet. You didn't really defend yourself properly.'

Shock What the actual fuck?!

I didn't really process the remark at the time but now I'm bloody fuming.

Go on, tell me yours. Let's laugh at the bastards and then maybe I won't spend the next week dwelling on my wrath

My mum kicked me out as a late teen (my crime was my room I shared with a younger sibling was a mess and I'd been out with my boyfriend). She physically attacked me and as I walked the couple of miles to my dad's flat to seek refuge she followed me in the car at walking pace shouting abuse. I got to my dad's house and she stomped up as I was waiting for him to answer the door. When he did she screamed that if he let me even set a toe over the threshold he'd never see her or my sibling again. Dad was my last hope as they'd taken out debt in my name (without my knowledge) and had destroyed my credit rating. My dad looked me in the eyes and said "sorry love, you really should tidy your room and not have a boyfriend" as he shut the door in my face.
I ended up living in my barely functional car I'd bought for £100 and showering early at work for a couple of weeks..nobody ever knew! NC with mother, low contact with dad and live very, very, very far from both of them...

I'd been cleaning the house for about three hours and on my way out I asked my ex to finish the washing up as if run out of time... he told me I was abusing him.

I was 15, I hadn't tidied my bedroom when my mother came in and started to do it continually moaning. [I would have tidied it, it wasn't even that bad, just hadn't done it in her time frame].

She came out with the gem ' I hope one day someone makes your life as unhappy as you've made mine'.

I was illegitimate and already bogged down with guilt and knew my horrible step dad was her priority and I was in the way of her new marriage.

I have never forgotten it...amongst other remarks/behaviours I am too upset to go into.

My step mother was a complete narc who told really unforgivable lies about me and my siblings. I exposed her in front of my father one day and she announced that she was leaving him. As she went out the door she turned and said "No one will ever be able to iron your shirts as good as I can" Grin.
