An Orwell quote which simplifies how narcissist parents can destroy their children’s future and use brainwashing and gaslighting to alienate children from loving parents:
“He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past.”
~George Orwell,
Grace seeks sanctuary 
Great quote, however, it is probably a bit deep for a Sunday. I have found solace over the past five years or so writing about my experience – I hope to publish by the end of 2017.
I wish you the very best with that!! The world needs more warrior writers willing to share the horrors of this abuse. I wish so much I could collect my thoughts enough to write my experience out! Unfortunately, it seems too many years of abuse and trauma have rendered me mentally scattered and weakly petrified of how the narcs in my life/past would use it all to just dig their knives and cruelty in even deeper.
Writing is the best healing therapy ever!! I’m so happy for you that you still have that ability as a solace under these heart-killing conditions!
