Come affrontare una suocera narcisista<\/a>Questa \u00e8 la domanda.<\/p>\n

Let me tell you something. I’ve been there. I see you. I understand you.<\/p>\n

I’m not going to give you a pep talk or tell you sweet stories about how to take care of your mental health and help your mom-in-law adapt and become a better person. Nope.<\/p>\n

I’m here to openly tell you the following things: how to recognize her for who she is, what her most powerful tools against you are, and how to deal with her once and for all.<\/p>\n

5 bandiere rosse che dimostrano la presenza di una suocera narcisista<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

1. Le piace dominare le altre persone<\/h2>\n

\"Donna<\/p>\n

Questa \u00e8 una caratteristica di tutte le persone con disturbo narcisistico di personalit\u00e0. Fingono di essere chiunque e qualunque cosa solo per ottenere ci\u00f2 che vogliono dalle persone che li circondano.<\/p>\n

To exert her power, she’ll demean her family members \u2013 her daughter-in-law more than others.<\/p>\n

There’s a good chance she openly belittles you or uses fake compliments to hide her true intentions in front of others, yet making sure you know just what she meant.<\/p>\n

She won’t strain from using verbal abuse as her most powerful tool. If you feel put down by her for the majority of the time, it’s a definite sign you’re dealing with a narcissist.<\/p>\n

Le persone narcisiste sono incredibili manipolatrici. Arriva a creare un'intera situazione in cui lei fa bella figura e gli altri fanno brutta figura.<\/p>\n

Additionally: If you feel like you can’t handle this on your own, search for abuse support groups in your area.<\/p>\n

2. She’s full of herself<\/h2>\n

\"uomo<\/p>\n

Forse state cercando di condividere con lei pi\u00f9 dettagli della vostra vita, sperando che conoscendovi meglio vi tratti meglio.<\/p>\n

Indovinate un po'? Non funzioner\u00e0 mai. Perch\u00e9? Perch\u00e9 si preoccupa solo di se stessa.<\/p>\n

Everything in her life is about her, and she\u2019d prefer it to be the case in everyone else\u2019s life. When there are listeners around, she won’t stop talking about her life and achievements.<\/p>\n

Your father-in-law may be sitting in the corner while she talks, rolling his eyes thinking “here she goes again,” but still thinking that’s just who she is, never blaming her.<\/p>\n

If she’s a covert narcissist (doesn’t show her true colors \u2013 a narcissist in disguise), her family is likely not even aware of the kind of personality (or better yet, personality disorder) she has.<\/p>\n

She doesn’t really care about anybody else’s story. She only wants her own story to be heard.<\/p>\n

3. Sembra non avere empatia<\/h2>\n

\"Donna<\/p>\n

She is unable to empathize with her family members. The pain she’s causing her own children matters little to her.<\/p>\n

Her entire life she\u2019s only cared about her children’s achievements and never about their feelings.<\/p>\n

If you complain to her about the struggles in your own life, you’ll get nothing from her. She shows no compassion or understanding.<\/p>\n

Per lei l'amore riguarda lo scambio di beni e non il sentimento che le persone provano l'una per l'altra.<\/p>\n

When it comes to her kids, she\u2019s proud of their accomplishments, but never really cares about who they are as people.<\/p>\n

And when it comes to you as her daughter-in-law, she praises you in public, because, well, you represent her as a part of her family and she doesn’t want to look bad \u2013 but in private she’ll criticize you.<\/p>\n

4. She’s defensive (about herself)<\/h2>\n

\"Suocera<\/p>\n

She’ll do whatever it takes to prove she’s right. She can’t take any kind of criticism and will turn the situation around to make it seem like you or anybody else are attacking her out of spite.<\/p>\n

Whenever she does something, she gives additional explanations of the goodwill she’s put into doing that because she cares about the well-being of the family (while she’s actually doing something completely selfish), just in case you try to confront her.<\/p>\n

If you find someone to support you in fighting her \u2013 your husband perhaps \u2013 she’ll attack you with everything she’s got.<\/p>\n

Il suo comportamento narcisistico ha probabilmente causato a suo marito un'eccessiva sensibilit\u00e0 e dipendenza o un narcisismo a sua volta.<\/p>\n

If he’s sensitive, he’ll understand you, and you two together might handle her easier if he has what it takes to fight her.<\/p>\n

If he’s a narcissist himself, we’re sorry for you, but it might be easier for him to deal with her because he already has the tools.<\/p>\n

5. Ha bisogno di essere ammirata, sempre e comunque.<\/h2>\n

\"cura<\/p>\n

Vostra suocera vorr\u00e0 che la apprezziate come lei apprezza se stessa. Ha bisogno di essere costantemente ammirata per qualsiasi cosa faccia.<\/p>\n

She believes she’s the best and doing so much for her family, and that needs to be rewarded.<\/p>\n

Una suocera narcisista si aspetta che la lodiate e che alimentiate il suo enorme ego.<\/p>\n

She believes herself to own everything, including her family, and everyone must behave according to her rules because, well, she deserves it with all the love she’s been giving to everyone.<\/p>\n

At least that’s what she wants others to believe, and what she usually even believes herself. There’s no being realistic with this one \u2013 it’s her way or the highway.<\/p>\n

Come riconoscere che la propria suocera \u00e8 narcisista dalle cose quotidiane che fa<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"immagine<\/p>\n

\u2013 She calls all the time or drops by way too often, checking on things.<\/p>\n

\u2013 She’s involved in every little detail of your spouse’s life and insists on knowing everything about him.<\/p>\n

\u2013 She’s always ready to criticize you or your spouse on everything you do or say.<\/p>\n

\u2013 No matter what happens, she’s the victim in every possible situation.<\/p>\n

\u2013 She wants to control everything and is very manipulative when it comes to getting what she wants.<\/p>\n

\u2013 There’s always something new she wants to be done whenever you see her or hear from her.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Your spouse is obviously agitated by the way she behaves and tries to control his life.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Still, your partner is constantly looking for excuses for her behavior.<\/p>\n

\u2013 She’s absolutely certain she’s always right.<\/p>\n

\u2013 She likes to play favorites, both with her own children but with her grandchildren as well (there’s a golden child, the one who’s best at everything, and a scapegoat, the one who’s always blamed for everything).<\/p>\n

\u2013 In extreme cases, she can be incredibly aggressive in trying to make her son or daughter-in-law feel unwelcome in the family.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Finally, you can’t remember a time you’ve felt comfortable around her.<\/p>\n

5 tipici comportamenti abusivi di una suocera narcisista<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1. Illuminazione a gas<\/h2>\n

\"donna<\/p>\n

Illuminazione a gas<\/a> \u00e8 la corona di tutte le relazioni tossiche.<\/p>\n

The very first time she does it, it will seem completely innocent. She’ll lie about small, insignificant things all the time.<\/p>\n

She’ll say she didn’t say something that you definitely heard her say.<\/p>\n

She’ll pretend to be absolutely certain that you’re the one who made a mistake, so if you notice this and decide to say something, you’ll look like the bad guy in the situation.<\/p>\n

She does this to manipulate you and gain power. That’s how gaslighting works. She plays the victim and it seems like you’re the one being unfair.<\/p>\n

The only thing you can do to break from this wicked chain she’s trying to put on you is to call her out on her lies.<\/p>\n

I’m not saying it won’t get messy, because it most definitely will, but it’s your only way out. You have to show her you won’t tolerate her lies or play along.<\/p>\n

2. Il gioco delle colpe<\/h2>\n

\"donna<\/p>\n

Niente \u00e8 mai colpa sua. Qualunque cosa accada, there’s someone else to blame<\/a>. This has a lot to do with all the negativity she’s carrying inside herself.<\/p>\n

She’ll blame her kids, husband, and you for everything. This emotional abuse can be quite hard to handle. Her fragile mental health has her working this way.<\/p>\n

She won’t accept any weakness \u2013 not in herself or other people. When you do something that triggers the ”weakness” in her mind, she’ll punish you for it.<\/p>\n

All the negative energy she has in store from trying to be perfect will come out on you when you “make a mistake.”<\/p>\n

This is one of the things you\u2019ll have to learn to deal with through your narcissistic abuse processo di recupero<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There’s not much you can do about this. The best way you can handle it is to realize you can only pity her for having to live with herself.<\/p>\n

3. Il trattamento silenzioso<\/h2>\n

\"donna<\/p>\n

When you have an argument with your mom-in-law and refuse to obey her rules, she won’t try to resolve the issue, she’ll give you her famous trattamento silenzioso<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Her passive-aggressive behavior has one ultimate goal, and that’s to regain her power over you.<\/p>\n

Time will pass, and you may be perfectly fine with her not talking to you, but her “flying monkeys” (family members or friends that narcissists use as tools) will push you to apologize and resolve your issues with her, because she’ll be giving them trouble.<\/p>\n

The only way to handle this is to stand your ground. Be confident yet remain kind. If she chooses to stay angry, you can’t change that.<\/p>\n

4. Coinvolgere una terza parte per ottenere il suo scopo<\/h2>\n

\"donna<\/p>\n

She’s prone to giving “concerned advice” to someone else in the family \u2013 most commonly her son (your husband) \u2013 about the way you’re doing something, whether it be about raising the kids, cooking, or your career.<\/p>\n

Potrebbe ascoltarla e cercare di parlarle di fare le cose in modo diverso, come lei ha suggerito.<\/p>\n

This might cause you to argue with your partner, or any other family member she uses (like your sister-in-law), completely unaware that she’s the source of the problem.<\/p>\n

Your ultimate goal is to try to remain aware of all the times you’re enabling this triangle and invariably helping unravel all the mess.<\/p>\n

5. Senso di colpa<\/h2>\n

\"donna<\/p>\n

\u00c8 una cosa che fanno tutte le persone tossiche. Proprio come gli altri strumenti, anche questo viene usato per ottenere pi\u00f9 potere sulle persone. vittima del suo abuso narcisistico<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is how it works. When you try to live your life and show your independence, she takes that as being unappreciative of her and everything she’s done for you.<\/p>\n

When you choose to do what you want to do, that’s painful for her. By guilt-tripping you, she connects your wishes and desires to guilt.<\/p>\n

In definitiva, quando si vuole fare qualcosa che si desidera fare, si sente subito il senso di colpa.<\/p>\n

Si tratta di uno strumento che i genitori narcisisti utilizzano soprattutto con i propri figli, ma che si applica anche alle relazioni con i suoceri.<\/p>\n

Come aiutarsi? 10 consigli per affrontare l'abuso narcisistico della suocera<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

1. Sostenere il partner<\/h2>\n

\"coppia<\/p>\n

Avere una suocera narcisista \u00e8 difficile, ma avere una madre narcisista \u00e8 ancora pi\u00f9 difficile. Siate compassionevoli.<\/p>\n

No matter how much it annoys you to hear your partner making excuses for his mom’s behavior, try to understand him.<\/p>\n

By now, he\u2019s probably developed a coping mechanism to deal with her. Ask him for some tips. Decide together on how to maintain your relationship with her \u2013 be open and honest.<\/p>\n

2. Stabilire confini precisi<\/h2>\n

\"mano<\/p>\n

Per ognuno dei suoi comportamenti tossici, dovete stabilire un limite. Se chiama troppo, decidete di non rispondere in certi momenti della giornata o in certi giorni.<\/p>\n

Se viene troppo spesso senza preavviso, ditele che avevate programmi diversi la prossima volta che vi sorprender\u00e0.<\/p>\n

When she goes into being verbally abusive and demeaning towards you or your children, kindly and firmly tell her that’s not going to work out.<\/p>\n

She needs to know you’re onto her, but you mustn’t lose your cool. For every limit you set, talk about it with your husband first and make sure you’re both on the same page.<\/p>\n

3. Don’t encourage her dramatic communication style<\/h2>\n

\"madre<\/p>\n

Your toxic mother-in-law is a drama queen. From never accepting she\u2019s at fault to always wanting to be right, there’s probably plenty of situations in which she’ll show her dramatic style.<\/p>\n

Don’t let her draw you into this. If you allow her to anger you, she’ll only see it as yet another weakness that she can use to gain more power and control.<\/p>\n

Always communicate with her in a calm manner. When she punishes you with one of her famous silent treatments, try the soft, reasonable approach. If it doesn’t work, give up.<\/p>\n

4. Controllare le proprie emozioni, NON colpevolizzarsi.<\/h2>\n

\"Donna<\/p>\n

Un genitore narcisista vi fa sentire peggio con voi stessi ogni giorno che passa. Le persone affette da NPD sono molto brave a trasferire la propria infelicit\u00e0 sugli altri.<\/p>\n

Don’t allow her to do this to you. She wants to control everything, including your emotions. Don’t give her the satisfaction.<\/p>\n

You’re the only one who has control over your own feelings \u2013 make sure she knows that. By ruining your self-esteem, she’s making you into her new puppet.<\/p>\n

Show her you’re not going to accept that. When she tries to convince you that you are anything you know you aren’t, refuse her opinion, and openly show her you disagree.<\/p>\n

5. Cercare di scoprire di pi\u00f9 sulla sua vita<\/h2>\n

\"donna<\/p>\n

If she’s a softer type of a narcissist, it might be useful to find out about her history. Learning about her childhood and her early life might make it easier for you to understand her.<\/p>\n

If you understand her life and where she comes from, there’s a good chance you’ll feel sorry for her more than anything else.<\/p>\n

6. Non cercare di cambiarla<\/h2>\n

\"una<\/p>\n

Cercare di cambiarla \u00e8 l'errore pi\u00f9 grande che possiate fare. Non \u00e8 possibile cambiarla.<\/p>\n

If you think your charm, acceptance, intelligence, or whatever you have to offer will help her become a better person, you’re wrong.<\/p>\n

There’s nothing you can do to improve her or your relationship with her. NPD is a true mental disorder, you can’t do anything without professional help.<\/p>\n

7. Rendersi inaccessibili o meno accessibili a lei<\/h2>\n

\"donna<\/p>\n

The best thing you can do is limit her access to you and your life. The more information about your marriage, job, etc. stays private, the less involved she\u2019ll be.<\/p>\n

When there’s no other way, the best you can do is make sure she has very little fuel when you know she’s about to put you on fire.<\/p>\n

8. Costringetevi a mantenere un approccio positivo<\/h2>\n

\"madre<\/p>\n

Day by day she’s drawing you deeper into her dirty web. What she does is feeds you her own negativity and tries to ruin your life. That’s her ultimate goal, so make sure you never give her that.<\/p>\n

No matter how many times she shows you she doesn’t deserve your kindness, still be kind.<\/p>\n

Remind yourself that you’re not doing it for her, but that it’s actually your smartest, strongest move against her.<\/p>\n

9. Don’t try to maintain a warmhearted relationship with her<\/h2>\n

\"una<\/p>\n

Potreste pensare che mostrarle le vostre vulnerabilit\u00e0 sia la strada da seguire. S\u00ec, \u00e8 una cosa che quasi certamente aiuterebbe la vostra relazione con qualsiasi altra persona.<\/p>\n

Sadly, when it comes to a narcissistic mother-in-law, it doesn’t work this way. Whatever you say to her can and will be used against you.<\/p>\n

10. If you can stay away from her, do so, don’t force the relationship<\/h2>\n

\"madre<\/p>\n

There are so many people out there who have no contact with their families \u2013 the ones they are born into, or their in-law families.<\/p>\n

You have to remember that what you’re going through is an abusive relationship and you’d be crazy not to get out of it. Don’t blame yourself for not trying hard enough.<\/p>\n

Trattare con un sociopatico \u00e8 qualcosa che nemmeno un professionista fa facilmente, perch\u00e9 costringersi a farlo ogni giorno?<\/p>\n

If you and your partner have kids, she can see them from time to time or see their pics on social media if there’s no other way.<\/p>\n

It can be hard to make this happen, but it’s also relieving and refreshing, and most certainly will change your entire life.<\/p>\n

Make sure you\u2019re aware that whatever you decide to do, you’re doing it for yourself and your family. Don’t ever let her guilt-trip you into doing something she wants again. <\/em><\/p>\n

You need to take control over your own life, and that’s something no one else can do for you. Putting her in her place will take a whole lot of guts, but it will be worth it. <\/em><\/p>\n

After all this is in the past, you\u2019ll be stronger than ever \u2013 una ragazza sopravvissuta a un abuso narcisistico.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n
