Verbal Hostage Situation
A toxic brother resurfaces with no apology, a verdict on my life, and an hour-long monologue. Verbal hostage situations, no negotiation possible.
The Mother of All Resentment
Lunch with my mother brings up all kinds of resentment. Reminders that my mother is a narcissist.
Stick a Sock In It
My mother called me a disappointment over laundry sorting. My narcissistic mother who manufactures reasons to criticize and the peace of living without her.
