"Something that's been helping me explain narc abuse is describing it as systematic abuse. Like, "Imagine your typical day...pick every interaction you have w your parent...every time you say hi or eat food together...go to the store...do chores...time of day.. imagine 5 shitty mean things you could say to your child. I heard all of them. Probably 10 more. Per interaction of the day. Imagine multiplying that by 10-15 instances a day." -Anonymous
