You must understand, the narcissist isn’t really out to win. They are out to annihilate you. If you give in thinking it will create peace, think again. If working with a narcissist, and you have survived with what you gave up on, they will come back for more. To manage with a narcissist, it really requires a paradigm shift, a change in one’s own thinking.

If your parents have been abusive to you, you still may think you have to let them see your kids, even if concerned. So much as to whether you should or not depends on your parents’ behavior. If they continue to be abusive to you in any way, including being dismissive of your parenting requests or if they are putting you down to your kids, then if they see them, it should be supervised.

Caring for an aging parent can be fraught with challenges. Two come to mind. The first is when we seek to parent our parent and make decisions for them not in keeping with their wishes. It is tough when an aging parent makes decisions, not necessarily what you would have chosen, yet decisions they are good with themselves. While challenging it is often best to abide and respect accordingly.

Those kids come adults may not realize it, but those are traumatic experiences. As a parent whose child is in this situation, you may also not realize this has been traumatic for your child.

You asked; What is an eco-map in social work? An ecological map or ecomap is a diagram showing the social and personal relationships of an individual. It gives a visual representation of the key relationships a child or an individual has based on a strength based and person-centred perspective. Ann Hartman developed these ecological maps (or ecomaps) in 1975 to depict the ecological system that encompasses a family or individual (Hartman, 1995).

You may think seeking a court order ordering that parent to stop doing that would help, but all too aften it doesn’t. Rather than stop, that parent may use other tactics to undermine you and create distress.
