Pastor Ortiz, thank you so much for this message. Can you give some guidance on how to handle a narcissistic parent? It is casting pearls before swine but we are also told to honor our parents (and one who says they are a believer). It’s a huge spiritual conflict that our family wrestles with. Thank you again. Your messages are such a blessing ♥️
I dealt with a narcissistic mother all my life. I really had such a terrible life with her. But I loved her. She died in 2016 and I feel lost without her. I dealt with it by realizing she won't live forever. One day it will stop. When she got hateful with me, I simply backed away. Eventually she would call me. Looking back, I lived in fear of her. If I could go back in time, I would sit her down and tell her what kind of impact she was having on my life. I would TELL her.
I had the most narcissistic mother that ever lived. I lived in shame and dreaded every day. I am 66. She died a few years ago. If I could go back in time, I would sit her down and tell her how her behavior was affecting me. I would explain it in a loving way. When you humilliate me, it makes me not want to be around you. When you give me that angry look, it makes me want to run away from you. I need peace and love in my life, not anger. Can we agree to get along in love mom? I think if I had done this, things would have been much different.
@@valeriefromoregon I can certainly understand what you're going through. I lived it. She loved to make me look "bad" or "not good enough" to other people. This backfired though as it made her look bad. Just do your best to obey God and honor her even though it's the hardest thing you will ever do in your life. It will pay off in the end. It really will.
