Growing up my dad has always been narcisstic. He belittled me, had me crying at the table everynight over grades, or not being in sports, or not being as good as my brothers, or while he was trying to "help" me with my homework. He'd always say things like "your younger brother understands". He didn't let me go out with friends when I was in highschool....but let my brothers do whatever they wanted. My parents are now divorced...and in 2003 he told our pastor he was being abused by my mother...which totally did me in because we were the ones being abused. NOW, i am 27, married, have a beautiful girl, that I couldn't imagine saying the stuff that he said to me. I am still messed up from him, low-self esteem, I used to self-injure...and he is still playing mind games....should I cut him out of my life or what??? Is there ever truely any way to get along with a narsissist. You can't talk to them, he just thinks your being mean then. Any help will be appreciated.

Just so you know too- He has never been diagnosed as a narcassist.

Cut him out of your life.
Read "Bad Childhood, Good Life: How to Blossom and Thrive in Spite of an Unhappy Childhood " and you'll understand why I say that.

cut him off especially if you cannot even talk to him. You have your own family now, go to counseling, rebuild your self esteem and cut that negativity out of your life no one deserves that
