Just Why?

It’s 10:00pm, Emma is in bed. I’m busy in the kitchen, She starts aggressively wrecking my head about completely random things ( #narcissistic-rage #vitriol ) .

  • I’m being ordered not to use “her” coffee machine again ( #control #punishment ) .
  • I’m being scrutinized about who I’m meeting on Saturday evening ( #control #manipulation ) .
  • She’s accusing my sister of not answering her phone ( #triangulation ) .
  • And every other thing you can think of…

I don’t respond. It’s so hard. I feel physically ill, but I continue to ignore her ( #fawn-response #trauma-bond ) .

Then she walks into Emma’s room, wakes her up, does nothing else in there, then walks out again ( #cruel #control #lack-of-empathy ) .
