How to Leave a Narcissist ... For Good Quotes

“Common boundary issues in families also include adults inappropriately airing or discussing adult matters with children or adolescents. In my view, adults/parents should contain "adult-stuff" while allowing children to enjoy as safe and carefree a childhood as possible. This containment is a healthy parent-child boundary. It is common that as children we were exposed to adult difficulties that were too confusing for us to really make sense of. Perhaps as children we were forced to keep quiet, to be good, to comply, to not resist or upset others - we had little choice.”

“We can easily learn as children how to go against what our inner sense is telling us. We learn to ignore what we want and instead we learn what to do in order to please others, despite it not feeling nice for us. We neglect our needs or wants in favour of doing what is "right". Except it's not.”
