Every now and again, theres a crazy story that unfolds online.
This time, its a husband and wife of 10 years going back and forth on Reddit.
The trigger for this family drama is the wifes father who was financially struggling.
The wifeu/Angra-Momyuagreed to have a short chat withBored Panda.
Read our chat with her below!
We were curious to know what inspired the woman to post in the r/TrueOffMyChest community.
The woman says that her main driving force was rage.
Sheer rage, she clarifies.
Although the situation seems pretty dire, the OP has some positive updates.
My dad is sad for me that the marriage has broken down this badly and feels responsible.
I assured him it isnt his fault.
And what about the girls?
The girls are doing great!
It doesnt seem to bother them that much, the Redditor says.
Truth is not much will really change in their lives.
Angra-Momyu also has some sage advice.
Dont stay in a loveless marriage.
Dont stay for the kids.
One thing Im seeing with my kids is that they arent bothered by the divorce.
With that said, lets see what mental health experts online have to say about it.
Thats not to say that narcissism isnt rare.
Everyone has narcissistic needs, Soeiro writes in a blog post forPsychology Today.
Clinical narcissism, on the other hand, is far more nuanced.
Covert narcissism is the most common, Vermani toldOprah Daily.
Overt narcissism stands at the other end of the spectrum from covert narcissism.
PsychoanalystLaurie Hollman, PhD, writes that overt narcissism includes traits of self-importance and lack of empathy.
Others may perceive them as successful, but anxiety and low self-esteem lie beneath their false facades.
Malignant narcissism is the most severe, mental health experts say.
People with this subtype contain the general traits of NPD, including regular egocentricity.
Carder Stout, PhD, a Los Angeles-based psychologist also noted that narcissism as a personality disorder is rare.
