I’m no physcology expert but from my understanding narcissist homes like this are really hard to escape from. I’ve been watching some tik tocs from a survivor from one shome.
Her mom gaslit her, your too sensitive, I never said/did that bad thing, I did my-best, youaren’t grateful.
her mom isolated her, ripped up any self confidence she had, making it hard to find social outlets. She was dependant and cause she grew up with it - never knew how unhealthy it was.
to getaway she cut off entire contact with the parent.
That would explain whyIsiah has no mates, whyhe lacks confidence and seems to be trying to get Ass’s approval. Maybe he doesn’t even know how unhealthy it is yet
