It is difficult to deal with a narcissist when you are a grown, independent, fully functioning adult. The children of narcissists have an especially difficult burden, for they lack the knowledge, power, and resources to deal with their narcissistic parents without becoming their victims. Whether cast into the role of Scapegoat or Golden Child, the Narcissist's Child never truly receives that to which all children are entitled: a parent's unconditional love. Start by reading the 46 memories--it all began there.

Would any of you be interested...

Would any of you be interested in a Narcissist's Child Facebook group?

If you would, please reply to this post in the affirmative either in the comments section or by email.

Include, please, which is your preference:

1) Open group (anybody can find the group with a search and see our posts)
2) Closed group (anybody can find the group with a search but only members can see our posts)
3) Secret group (nobody but group members can see the posts and the group does not show up on searches)

I have been asked several times about being on Facebook, and am quite willing to do so, but only if readers are interested in such a place.

Hugs to you all

  1. Yes, absolutely. I think closed group would be best for privacy since all on FB can see exactly what someone posts to a public page. Thank you by the way!

  2. I think a closed group would feel safe for all of us. I am a member of another closed group, different subject, and it seems to work well.

  4. I would be interested, but only if there was no way to be tracked by people on FB (secret group). I can't risk being identified.

  5. I vote for a closed group. It would still make it possible for others affected by narcissism to find us. Maybe two groups, one closed and one secret for those who really cannot afford to out themselves, like jessie?

    1. Two groups would double the amount of administration and halve the amount of participation and support...but I think we could have a "feeder" group that was closed (but visible to searches) and people who came to the closed group could be added as members to the secret group.

      I welcome any suggestions from you readers with regard to the group idea...please tell me what is on your mind and in your thoughts...

  6. I need at least one person to email me with her Facebook name so that the group can be started.

  7. I would be interested in either closed or secret group, especially the feeder suggestion that you mention sounds really smart. Question: Will you make any decisions with privacy protection in mind or is that too much for one admin/mod to handle? (Ie: I tell you my maiden name - which is very unusual, and you give me a heads up before adding any ladies twice my age with the same name)?

    1. Privacy would be assured...and your point is well taken. We don't want any narcissists or trolls in the group, so perhaps polling the group before admitting people would be a good idea. For example, someone named Susan Jarvis asks to join and I post to the group "We have a Sue Jarvis who wishes to join...any objections?" and if nobody objects in a certain period of time (say 3 days), I admit her. Would that work for you?

I don't publish rudeness, so please keep your comments respectful, not only to me, but to those who comment as well. We are not all at the same point in our recovery.

Not clear on what constitutes "rudeness"? You can read this blog post for clarification: http://narcissistschild.blogspot.com/2015/07/real-life-exchange-with-narcissist.html#comment-form
