Something to note about this is that malignant narcissism is not treatable. They are shattered, untreatable people from infancy. Doctors ply sociopaths with these drugs not in the hopes that they’ll regain some sort of composure while they learn coping mechanisms and work on their perceptions/reactions/behavior (like…

also, racism is so institutionalized in the domestic services . . . carers are primarly non-white, with many legal and illegal immigrants in the mix, and make far less than their few white counterparts because they are perceived as less educated and less socially desirable/easy to exploit due to their social and legal…

I wish the government would recognize the situation of household help as the economic and social crisis it is, and make the leap towards better training, vetting and pay for household help/bridge the gap for those who can’t afford adequate childcare etc. with quality community programs. Most families in urban areas,…

Hi! so i wanted you to know that yesterday I read through a bunch of her blog and I really, REALLY appreciate your recommending it. she is fantastic, and i like how she deals not just with narcissism in relationships but related and overlapping issues.

I’m 35 and this is my first mother’s day not talking to my mother. she was an only parent, a borderline personality/malignant narcissist/alcoholic/prescription pill addict, who neglected and abused me and my brother to a criminal degree, everything from making sure to humiliate us whenever the opportunity presented…

someone in my neighborhood told me she was tired of seeing me taking up the whole sidewalk every time she walked down the street. first of all, i’ve lived on my block for 5 years and have seen this bitch twice. secondly, my dog weighs 12 pounds, is 13 years old and has no interest in people unless you are directly…

I understand Evan’s grandfather was apparently someone of some social prominence, but prefer to think they named that child after the bachelor Duke of Devonshire because they’re weirdos who love the Keira Knightley movie ‘The Duchess’

I work for a famous director who also happens to be the worst malignant narcissist gaslighter/abuser I’ve personally met. The Jekyll & Hyde act he puts on for his partner, a superficial, self-centered, oblivious by nature (but undeniably talented) acclaimed actress, whom he sees around twice a week, is truly something…

i interpreted the appeal for dialogue as code for ‘white girls, don’t make us look bad with explicit intolerance,’ but it’s still bullshit. the yale admin doesn’t dare call racism by its name for fear of annoying? insulting? a white girl, but wasting hours of a black girl’s time, drawing significant negative attention…

out of curiosity, what is a mediocre vet reference?

my anxious bichon frisé is a huge grimes fan. so high pitched, so up tempo

“This is a homogenous group of exploitive and corrupt people,”

“But at the time I worked with him I knew absolutely nothing about what was going on, and it came out subsequently.”

that should be illegal

MONETARY FINE SYSTEM?? Idon’t have kids, please tell me what they are doing to these parents

yes, in nyc a medallion is extremely pricey, even at their cheapest in a decade they go for over a quarter million. the guys actually driving you around rent for $200/day, and can use international drivers licenses they got wherever. it’s one of those jobs you can get the day after you arrive, if you know someone who…

totally agree with jail not being much of a punishment for her. she’ll like having no responsibilities like bills or work, and will be getting into petty squabbles with other inmates and making up fake ailments to try to receive special treatment in no time.

i think she waited in a dark bathroom with the dead children for the very moment marina discovered her to stab herself in the neck to prove to marina one last time that she was the poor pathetic victim in all this and it was all somehow marina’s fault.

so i searched for ‘josie’ and ‘yoselyn’ and came up with 4 mentions- the only compliment being a single paranthetical (thanks to our great new nanny josie) and two years later, a single photo of her with the kids, taken from the back so you could not see her face or identify her. when i search ‘nanny’ there are only…

i didn’t know about that testimony! i wonder if it was one of the unfortunate situations where she was getting paid to work for 25 hours, but basically expected to be on call 24/7 at marina’s whim, or scheduled in such a way that made other employment impossible (for example paid for one hour during morning dropoffs,…
