Dr. Roberta Shader discusses strategies for dealing with narcissistic adult children, offering 21 essential 'don'ts' to help parents manage demanding and emotionally manipulative behavior. Key points include setting boundaries, not giving in to threats, and avoiding blame-shifting. Having a Hijackal adult child is confusing, infuriating, disappointing, and frustrating among many other things. (And, it's worse when your child creates children!) What you DON'T do is as important as what you do. Listen to this episode to hear 21 things to think about right away. If you can refrain from doing these 21 things, you'll be empowered and no longer feel like a hostage to the Hijackal's bad behavior. HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS EPISODE: - Why learning to say no to a Hijackal is absolutely essential - No matter what old patterns you may have established, they can change - How Hijackals® want to insist that their bad behavior (if they ever admit they have any) is YOUR FAULT - Why these 21 things are HUGE and might take a while to put in place....AND, YOU'RE WORTH IT! - How you can give your life away to a Hijackal and why that's a very bad idea 04:49 Don't let them control you, respect yourself. 09:40 Don't give in, break the habit. 10:30 Seeking reciprocity, equality, and mutuality in relationships. 16:50 Don't expect reciprocity from narcissistic hijackles. 18:48 You can't make a Hijackal happy. 26:54 Reject their entitlement, stand up for yourself. 29:51 Hijackals are predators 33:33 Don't waste life on those rejecting you. 37:27 Self care is important, not responsibility for anger. 38:38 Reject Hijackals, establish equality, reciprocity, and mutuality. * * Remember, narcissists and other toxic people come in all genders and ages * * and toxic relationships can be at home, at work, at play... with your parent, boss, spouse, sibling, friend, co-worker. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am Dr. Rhoberta Shaler, The Relationship Help Doctor.
