The land of the daisies
Cecil and I attend his mother’s funeral. Tassie and Skippy move out. Cecil loses his job, I quit mine. Gert Gelderblom makes a run for it and The family structure begins crumbling.
Triangulate This.
Triangulation is the narcissists way of communicating, to deny is much easier when you can not be held responsible for what you said. Gaslighting, denial, manipulation. All of it is used to warp your views on reality.
