💔💪 Navigating Toxic Family Dynamics: Taking Steps Towards Healing and Self-Preservation 🌻🌈

Dealing with toxic family relationships can be challenging and emotionally draining. Here are some strategies to help you navigate these difficult dynamics:

1️⃣ Set Boundaries: Establish clear boundaries to protect your well-being. Define what behavior is acceptable and communicate your boundaries assertively but calmly.

2️⃣ Seek Support: Reach out to a trusted friend, therapist, or support group who can provide guidance, understanding, and validation. Surround yourself with people who uplift and support you.

3️⃣ Practice Self-Care: Prioritize self-care activities that nurture your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Engage in activities that bring you joy, relaxation, and peace.

4️⃣ Identify Triggers: Recognize situations or behaviors that trigger negative emotions or harm your mental health. Be mindful of these triggers and develop strategies to manage and cope with them.

5️⃣ Cultivate Emotional Resilience: Focus on building your emotional resilience to navigate challenging interactions. Develop coping mechanisms, practice self-compassion, and engage in stress-reducing activities.

6️⃣ Set Realistic Expectations: Understand that you cannot change others, but you can change how you respond and react to them. Adjust your expectations and focus on your own growth and well-being.

7️⃣ Seek Professional Help: If the toxicity is severe or impacting your mental health significantly, consider seeking guidance from a therapist or counselor who can provide objective support and guidance.

8️⃣ Create a Supportive Network: Surround yourself with a chosen family of friends and loved ones who provide a supportive and loving environment. Lean on them during challenging times.

9️⃣ Practice Forgiveness (if appropriate): Forgiveness can be a powerful tool for your own healing, but it is a personal decision. It does not mean condoning or forgetting harmful behavior but releasing the burden for your own peace.

🔟 Prioritize Your Well-Being: Your mental, emotional, and physical well-being should be your top priority. Take steps to protect yourself and create a life that brings you joy, fulfillment, and a sense of peace.

Remember, healing from toxic family dynamics takes time, and it's important to be patient and compassionate with yourself. Surround yourself with positive influences and focus on building a life filled with love, growth, and authenticity. You deserve to live a life free from toxicity and filled with happiness and self-love. 🌟💖✨

Ptsd is the loneliest

Struggling through your symptoms, embarrassed and ashamed of how they may seem to others so you hide away. Embarrassed of how they make you act. Hearing your friends jokingly say “that class gave me ptsd I swear” in passing and realising they don’t understand at all. Flashbacks of all kinds; images, smells, sounds, physical sensations and emotional, taking you out of reality and struggling to make your way back to the present just to hope nobody noticed abut desperately wishing they did. Ptsd is the loneliest and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

Am I the only one who wants to ask for help but the only way I know how to do this is to shout? And then people think you're angry with them and they get mad at you, but you actually showed them the only gram of vulnerability you had.

As a fellow adult child of a narcissist, I know first hand what a complete shitstorm this time of year can be. It can be really challenging to keep your boundaries when the manipulation tactics are in full force. It’s important to know what to look out for, and stay grounded in reality when this happens to prevent any disappointment when the cycle of abuse inevitably repeats if you give in to your narc parent’s demands for supply and attention. This is why each year I host a holiday workshop for the family scapegoat. If you want to… ✅ Start setting or stick to your low or no contact boundaries with narcissistic or toxic family members this year ✅ Gain tools to be able to deal with the narcissist at the family dinner if low/no contact isn't possible for you at this time ✅ Learn how to release the emotions of guilt and shame that narcissists use to try and control their targets ✅ Understand how to deal with people who say "FaMiLy iS eVeRyThInG" and have no real understanding that for some people, family is a great source of damage to their sense of self and ability to feel safe in the world But you don’t ❌ Know if you have the courage to set or keep boundaries, and are afraid of a potential smear campaign ❌ Want to waste more time on strategies that don't work ❌ Think it will be as bad this year, maybe the narcissist in your family changed and will keep being nice to you moving forward? ❌ Know where to start or if it's possible to get through the next couple of weeks as un-triggered as possible Then Surviving the Holidays When You're the Family Scapegoat is perfect for you! The workshop is happening LIVE this Friday at 12:00 pm EST (replay access will be available for 90 days if you can’t make it live), so make sure you register before then so you can secure your spot! Register today for only $57 (or included in tier 2 of my community membership!) at the link in my bio!🔥🔥🔥 #Narcissisticmother #daughtersofnarcissisticmothers #adultchildrenofnarcissists #scapegoat #blacksheepofthefamily #blacksheep #manipulators #estranged #motherwound #cyclebreakers #dysfunctionalfamily #narcissisticabuserecovery #redflags #toxicmother #toxicfamily https://www.instagram.com/p/CmbXMX5sRoX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The start

Mula bekerja, ada duit, boleh la pergi kelas.

Kita pun Survey mencari kelas Jepun.

ICLS masa tu amat mahal

kelas di tempat ni mahal

Kelas menarik ni dekat office

Kelas yg professional bersebelah juga

Selepas survey cuba la kan. Gaji dah ok, kerja pun "OK"

Again, saya cuba untuk tidak pergi ke Kelas Jepun yang diajar oleh bekas pelajar Malaysia.

Anda mesti bertanya kenapa? Kalau baca posting pertama saya ada tulis, pelajar Malaysia di overseas ini amat toxic kerana mereka angkuh dan ingat mereka sahaja yang pandai kerana terpilih ke overseas.

Itu adalah pemikiran negatif saya masa itu.

Survey hanya tinggal 2 kelas dekat office ini. Apakah cara terbalik? Survey lagi, satu diajar oleh sensei Jepun ini dan kelas lain, sensei local.

Tahu bukan yang mana saya pilih. Pilih yang Jepun. Harga murah mengajar pun orang Jepun.

Murah kerana saya cari PRIVATE CLASS bukan group kelas. Alasannya kerana pekerjaan saya yang amat tidak tetap.

Bayar sudah fees dan dapat dah buku.

Ini adalah buku yg paling.... amat benci pada masa tu...

buku fotostat MINNA NO NIHONGO.... Yes, Photostat... kalau JELAS no problem, ni TAK JELAS. TAK JELAS, furigana mcm sial je tak nampak.

Contoh seakan-akan dibawah.

Kita mula walaupun dgn semangat semua. Lupakan dunia seketika dan study. Stress mmg ada tapi kena lalui.

Selepas beberapa bulan baru tahu, mereka tak pandai mengajar 1 to 1. Mereka lebih kepada classroom. Tanda-tanda negatif keluar, kerja di pejabat semakin teruk sehingga syarikat kononnya nak jimat kos. Tanda-tanda tak baik kelas 1 to 1 dah bermula.

Saya tak diberikan full Hiragana classes.

Sensei tukar sensei, xde feedback. Aku mcm blur jap. Mereka selepas itu gantikan dengan sensei yang fully tak faham.

Sensei selepas tu kena balik ke 日本 Japan sekejap. Jadi saya digantikan oleh pelajar ni, alangkah sedih kerana pelajar ni amat boleh kata menurunkan semangat belajar bahasa Jepun. Setiap kali dia marah, apa ni tulisan mcm cakar ayam, excuse me saya tak diberi latihan hiragana dan katakana. Ada satu lagi juga tapi saya tak nak cerita kerana tak sesuai, nak marah pun tak nak tetapi itulah bak kata 先生 yg mengajar kita sekarang "Berkat dan keikhlasan mengajar,"

Lastly, work pun dah toxic. Suffered too much.

In the end, selepas berhenti atau Syahid Pertama. Saya tak suka atau anti buku Minna No Nihongo

i stopped it.

percayalah, lama gak nak sampai part 2 of my journey.

*Mungkin akan diupdate kesemasa kerana image dan gambar.

Reasons Why I Want To Move Out And Start Living Independently

Dealing with toxic relationships, not necessarily between boyfriend-girlfriend or girlfriend-girlfriend, can really be stressful- especially if it’s within your household – whether with your parents or siblings. (Source: “Do You Have a Toxic Family Member?” by Stacey Colino from Psycom; https://www.psycom.net/relationships/toxic-family)

Signs you are in a toxic family:

Your perception of you doesn’t go along or jibe with the way you see yourself.

You are being accused of things you feel are not true.

You feel emotionally destabilized (“not good enough”)

Your family members don’t take responsibility for their own harmful actions

They manipulate you to make you feel guilty

They humiliate you or put you down

They lie about things to make you feel bad

Your family members bully or harass you

They are nasty, mean or contemptuous

Your family members gaslight ( a form of emotional and psychological abuse wherein a person uses verbal and behavioral tricks to convince another person you are losing your mind) you or blame you for the things they did.

Toxic relationships within the family can take a toll on your mood, self esteem and sense of confidence as well as the ability to make decisions or think clearly. Source: “Gaslighting: What Is It and Why Do People Do It?” from Psycom; https://www.psycom.net/gaslighting-what-is-it

Reasons why I wanted to move out and start living independently:

I feel really suffocated too much with my mom’s nagging and demanding attitude

I can’t be myself anymore and do whatever it is I wanted to do with my life. It’s always them that makes decisions for me when I’m already adult enough

Relationship with my parents are getting too toxic and unhealthy for me. Lots of stress and pressure.

They can’t stop talking about wars and moving to their province for good (which I really hate a lot). Full of negative vibes and stress.

I just don’t see my future here in the Philippines anymore. I want to be with my girlfriend already in South Australia.

I can’t stand my mom’s nagging behavior where she insists of getting things done her way and being too unappreciative of the help given. She always seems to expect everyone in the family to be like her and that’s what gets me feel suffocated a lot.

If I wasn’t likely to cut contact one day, then you bet I’d be leaving them in a nursing home.
