Abusive Politicians, Abusive Relatives

The video of the baboon and the bedbug bullying President Zelenskyy reminded me of family reunions.

Vita perplexed

My malignant narcissist mother’s side of the family is a clan primarily consisting of narcissists, sociopaths, and their flying monkeys.

Flying monkeys are the people who throw empaths/scapegoats under the bus for the abusers — the narcissists, sociopaths, psychopaths. Flying monkeys throw scapegoats under the bus for perpetual playground bullies.

My dad was an empath who married a narcissist and never divorced her. When a couple like that has children, it makes for a toxic family dynamic. Imagine growing up as an empath surrounded by narcissists and sociopaths.

Reading about the tangerine tyrant, J. D. Bedbug, and what passes for mainstream media in the U. S. (see the Washington Post and Politico) reminds me of my mother’s evil clan. The gaslighting, the victim-blaming, the projecting, the verbal ganging up on the scapegoat — all that shoved down your throat whenever you’re around relatives. Or nowadays — a time when I’m old and haven’t had contact with most relatives in a while and when many of them are deceased —

when you read news about the toilet demon and his vice bully. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s visit to the White House reminds me of family reunions.
