"But they’re your family..."It’s the phrase that keeps people trapped in cycles of abuse for decades. But what happens when the people who were supposed to protect you are the ones you need protection from? Going No Contact with a narcissist is hard; going No Contact with an entire narcissistic family system is a battlefield.Today, I’m breaking down the mechanics of the "Toxic Family Unit," the role of Flying Monkeys within your own siblings, and why the "Family Scapegoat" is usually the only one who finds peace. I’m giving you the perspective of the person left behind—what we think when you finally stop answering the group chat.
