Why I don’t hate my narcissistic father

Why I don’t hate my narcissistic father

"Forgiveness isn't about him; it's about the weight I'm tired of carrying."For years, I carried a lot of anger toward my father. He was emotionally neglectful, shut off, and displayed the classic traits of a narcissist. But as I’ve done my own healing, I’ve realized where that "emptiness" came from. My father was just a child when his own dad committed suicide, and he never got the help he needed. He didn't learn how to love because he was too busy trying to survive the trauma.Today, I’m talking about breaking the cycle. As a diagnosed narcissist myself, I can see the "shutter" that came down on his soul. I’m breaking down why I choose compassion over hate, and why understanding his trauma doesn't excuse his behavior—but it does set me free from the resentment.
