Long story short :
-my brother is a narcissist who abused me
-brother has a baby and uses our parents to take care of him but never shows appreciation
-brothers own baby doesn't like him and cries when he holds him, but runs to grandpa (our stepdad) and calls him "dada". Brother tried to crash out over this and stepped to him physically in front of our mother too

.
-they kick him out
-those same enablers only now are understanding everything I've been going through for YEARS and I can finally talk to them about it
-brother continues to spiral

Vindication comes slowly, but it comesā¦
Iāve had a front row seat with the toxic couple in my family for years because I live close to them, but people REALLY started to see how crazy shyt is with them in the past 1.5 yrs.
I was like āI kept trying to tell yāall that something is off and it isnāt me, but I didnāt think anyone fully believed meā.
Now they crashing out and the other elders are like āwell, all we can do is prayā
My cousins are all on the same page tho.
Really tho, Iām happy for you because these people know how to pull the wool over 98% of peopleās eyeās because a LOT of people are blind to this shyt and want to see the best in everyone.
I pick up on antisocial behavior pretty quickly because I grew up with it, and I very subtly make it clear that I see it, and wonāt necessarily rock their boat if they donāt rock mine. I am very cold and callous with those types because they are fishing for sympathy and warmth from people who are weak or too blind to pick up what they are doing.
I LOOOOOOVE sitting in silence and having a staring contest with those people

.
Cuz bytch I see you, and I can do all that shyt too. I just choose to be a good person and shield the naive folks around me from falling for the BS. They either canāt tell if I figured them out or if Iām such a ditz I canāt pick up on their attempt to milk me for attention and sympathy.
Grey rocking is a life skill.
