It is not my family who is the enabler, it is my father. Of course, it has taken a long time for my brothers to face the fact that what has gone on in our family and still continues to go on is not normal healthy behavior. Everyone has a tendency to make excuses for my parents behavior. When An Apology Is Not An Apology (1) - Blog Entry31 Dec 2007 11:12 AM Could you give some information on the enabling spouse of the narcissist? In my case, my mother is the mean spirited, controlling, manipulative and scheming narcissist and my family is the cowardly enabler who just repeats whatever garbage she comes up with. It is like he has lost the ablility to think for himself, he's her puppet. He has issued apologies for his behavior, but then keeps on repeating the same offenses. It's almost like I am dealing with two narcissists. I used to worship the ground he walked on, but now I have lost all respect for him, for he seems just as self centered as she is. I don't do Christmas with them anymore for my own sanity. |
