If you were raised by a narcissist, your adult life can feel a lot like a tumultuous and never-ending hell. You’ll struggle to build healthy and stable relationships with yourself and with others — something that leaves you isolated, reeling, and hurting. Like a curse or a hex, we carry this burden of pain throughout our lives. Breaking free of it is the only way to find happiness, but we have to strengthen ourselves and learn how to value who we are and what we really want.

How we are cursed by our narcissistic families.

Being raised in a narcissistic family leaves us with lasting scars and lingering curses that haunt our adult lives for decades. The narcissists in our lives teach us how to see ourselves as they see us, and in that space, we never learn how to fully realize who we are and what we want. Breaking the cycle is the only way to break the curse. We have to choose a different reality for ourselves and learn how to see the world for what it really is.
