Holiday Times & Christmas with the Narcissist

Holiday Times & Christmas with the Narcissist

As Christmas is getting closer, I want to talk about how to deal with a narcissist during not only this holiday, but any other type of celebration, such as birthdays or other family events.

We'll explore two different scenarios, one for those separated or divorced from a narcissist, and the other for those who have to spend the holidays with a narcissist. I'll also share tips on communicating and planning these events to reduce conflict to the minimum, and how and when to respond to the narcissist's messages.

What You Will Learn In This Episode:

- Why is it so challenging to celebrate any holiday in peace with a narcissist

- What I've learned from my experience with my narcissist ex-husband during the holidays

- The advantages of planning ahead for these events, and how it can help us in court if we need it

- How to structure our messages when communicating our plans with our narcissist ex-spouse

- How to approach communication when we must spend the holidays with a narcissist

We have an advantage when it comes to any holiday - we know precisely when they will happen. This allows us to plan, minimise and mitigate the conflict by creating the best-case scenario for our kids and us. Still, conflicts can appear, even if we plan ahead and do our best to avoid them. We must remember to stay in our lane, treat ourselves with kindness and avoid self-judgement if that happens.
