HOW TO COPE WITH AN ABUSIVE PARENT

Just in case you don’t understand the way your parent(s) are behaving, but you know that they don’t love you the way other children are loved by their parents, please click on the links below to get clarification.

Signs Your Mother is a Narcissist

And What is the Neglected Child

1. Love yourself: you are unique. There’s only one of you in this world. You deserve love, but you have to love yourself first.

2. Draw close to God: Only God can protect you from things that eyes can’t see.

3. Love your neighbor: Rome wasn’t built by one person. We all need genuine people by our sides, and they need us too.

4. Know yourself: when you know yourself, then nobody can tell you what you are not. Moreover, you can improve your strengths.

5. Forgive your parents: the hardest job in this world is to be a parent. Imagine being a parent when you are not ready to be one, either mentally or financially or emotionally. You might give your best to your child, but your child might see the ways where you weren’t ready to be a parent and need that part of you.

6. Work so you can be independent: when you depend on your abusive parents financially, they get the opportunity to devastate you, gaslight you, or threaten you to do their bidding. But when you are financially independent, they can’t control you however they want. Or see you any time to pour their emotional trash into you because you have money to pack out of the house.

7. Go for therapy: most times, abusive parents give you wounds that can’t heal by themselves without help from God and a therapist.

BACK TO YOU
What is out of your hands, should be out of your mind. Control what you can control, and that is your actions and reactions. You can’t change your parent(s), so avoid trying to change them. You can survive their selfishness. Furthermore, you can be better than your parent(s). Their actions don’t reflect who you are, their actions reflect who they are. It’s not your fault that they don’t love you.
