I only feel able to even start talking about what happened to me now and it’s been a long time.
Growing up my mother was narcissistic. She emotionally and physically abused me for the majority of the time but threw in occasional ‘love bomb’ days so I was very confused.
My sisters (both younger) had roles - youngest was golden child and middle sister was a flying monkey. I’m the eldest.
It got so bad I went NC but that made them all angry. I realised I was their hobby? That their lives revolves around causing me hassle and pain and they needed that and couldn’t let go. So even though I was NC they started on trying to ruin my whole life. This is just some of the things they did to disrupt my life and ruin my reputation:
-reports to SS that my dc were in danger.
-telling wider family that I was on drugs and to not support me in any way and to stop sending money to my dc for birthdays and Xmas as id misappropriate it.
-calling my work to allege things about me ‘anonymously’ that could ruin my career.
-calling dvla to say that I had a medical
condition and shouldn’t be driving.
-writing to my gp with concerns about my dc and my driving (they knew I needed to drive for work )
-telling any friends of mine if they bumped into them absolute lies about me
-told my dh that I was cheating on him
Basically trying to sabotage my whole life and ruin my support network. I lost nearly everything. People would think they were hearing from the majority so a lot believed the lies and I had to accept these friends / family members were now lost to me and I don’t blame them as they were hearing 3 people saying the same thing and they trusted them (all 3 have a thing about a perfect public image so that they can have their lies believed).
In the end I moved as far away as I could and that was what ended it all . I’ve just started counselling now a year after moving as it took me that long just to let things settle as I felt absolutely ruined by it all . I’d lost 3 stone as a result and wasn’t able to work full time anymore due to stress it’s taken me that time to regain weight and to gradually up my hours again in a new job.
Im not sure why I’m posting but I just needed to get it out somewhere in case it’s happened to someone else. I don’t know if this is a thing with narcissistic families that they can’t let go of the scapegoat realises and goes Nc? My family definitely weren’t ready to lose their power over me
