Our Warped Reality when Dealing with Covert Narcissism
from The Covert Narcissism Podcast · host Renee Swanson
For those of you who have been or currently are in a relationship with a covert narcissist, what are some of the things you thought were totally normal but now realize are not normal? That relationships are SO incredibly hard, like trying to get water from a rock. Isn’t that the way it is supposed to be? “Feeling ridiculously anxious when you hear their car pull in and the front door open.” Or when the garage door opens! “Name calling and screaming!” How did we ever get to the point that we thought this was normal and acceptable? “Not having access to the bank account” It is NOT normal for a spouse to not have access to the family’s finances. Allowances are for children, not spouses. This is a partnership, not a dictatorship. I am Renee Swanson, and I help people recover from covert narcissistic abuse. Are you tired of feeling isolated and alone? Are you searching for people who get it? Are you confused, reactive and unsure what to do? Are you running in circles in your mind? Are you worried for your kids and the effect this is having on them? Do you want to know how not to raise another narcissist in this world? I can help you!
