Just listened to your YouTube webinar from Aug 15, 2016: “Narcissism: Effects of a Narcissistic Mother..”. I very much appreciate the gentle re-direct away from flat-out blame & towards cause & effect. I acknowledge the need for [health of] emotions towards/about the Narc, but IF somebody injured keeps hearing/reading that narc are only willfully evil, THEN isn’t there a possibility of keeping bad alive. I don’t want to hate, never forgive or stay in combat with a narc – whether the battle is within or spreads to others. The narc is a person who was deeply & dangerously wounded. I am glad you said so. Why {try to} fight fire with fire? Water puts out fire. What we feed grows & lives: What we starve weakens & dies.
