I'm struggling, for real. I keep trying and trying to figure out a way to deal and fix but im struggling. I might need real, professional help. I thought I was okay but im not. his mom is draining me. mentally and emotionally. they say living with a narcissist is impossible and it's true. she sucks my energy from me like a black hole. when I walk into the house, it feels so heavily toxic. her voice is grating and puts me in such a hateful space. it's all a trauma response because my intuition senses danger. she's an emotional danger to my mental health and especially my daughter's emotional development. my daughter is so young and smart, she grabs everything people say and do. his mom is trying to take my daughter from me emotionally. she wants to be the center of her attention because my daughter is the only one that gives her need for admiration and validation. she's trying to claim my baby by being the favorite one. it's so hard watching and I just don't know how to stop it. you can't change a narcissist but can try things to work around someone like that if youre like me and stuck in that situation. but it's so hard when you're a sensitive person.
last night my daughter said something and mommy in the same sentence so his mom rewrote her words in her own twisted mind. "grandMOMMY yes. I am your grandMOMMY". it sickened me. saddened me and hurt my soul. she is trying to take so much from me involving my daughter. she put her on the potty and tried helping her potty train before me and her dad even formulated a plan. without permission. then set up a height chart to measure my daughter monthly. I painted the doors so I could do that in her room. she took that from me. now she's trying to get her to use the word grandmommy instead of just plain ole grandma. she's taking my child from me in an emotional sense. she manipulates my daughter with bullshit that my baby can't understand cuz shes 2. his mom uses guilt and shame on my daughter when she acts like a regular 2 year old. she said dangerous shit to my baby that is way overboard to talk to a baby about. telling a 2 year old she's listening to a story about selling little girls. what the fuck. this demon is in some form of competition with me. no one gives her the validation she craves. but my daughter does because doesn't know any better beyond liking someone. it's downright evil. its sick. all for her narcissistic supply. she's toxic to be around my baby. we have to monitor her now because she's weird. I'm trapped. I live there and I can't leave unless I leave my boyfriend. I feel like a failure for not having confidence to really tell that bitch off. arguing with my boyfriend over this nearly every night. I'm struggling man, I am.
I broke down last night. I cried. I told bf all of this and he got frustrated. he's stressed. I get it. but he's gotta realize his mom is not a good person, period. his family (me and our baby girl) is what's important. he feels unloved by me and I tried to explain I'm just so emotionally traumatized by this demon that I haven't been myself because I am unhappy. then when we were working together everything went great for a few days. my mom noticed a change in me. but it's back to me feeling alone again. he says he's on my side but then sprinkles in shit like "why can't you just build a wall and block her out" I can't bc shes a danger to my child's emotional development and she is continuously overstepping major boundaries. I've sense toxicity even before my baby was born. it just got severely worse since. she believes she has entitlement to my child. so he grew up with this demon and therefore learned coping mechanisms. so he doesn't get it. he doesn't get how special motherhood is either and how important many of these milestones are for me to do with MY child. his mom is taking them from me to be the center of my child's life. it's weird. the obsession this woman has with my daughter because she craves attention and validation so badly is creepy as fuck.
I told him if I leave, he can look to his mom to blame. he didn't like hearing it but I'm struggling to that point. he told me that I'm letting her win. I clapped and said "yay, she won. she fucking won okay. I'm miserable. I'm sad and I'm so angry and have been since my daughter was born. setting foot in that house is draining me man. I just feel tired.
