It is one thing to be emotionally in pain. It is another thing to take out your frustrations on people who don't deserve it. With people like this, I believe the best response is no response. I think some people love chaos. They are unhappy and it seems like they want to spread their unhappiness to other people. Very unfortunate.
I cut out all the unhealthy toxic dysfunctional family relationships out of my life. I don't like drama or gossip. My family is absolutely narcissistic and dysfunctional. I have to protect my own mental, emotional, spiritual and physical safety and my well-being.
My idea of family: people to feel safe around, enjoy holidays and other experiences and share my wins and losses, comfort. I am alone in my life- and, slowly integrating those who deserve to be part of my family.
Tamara I just want to say I love you for doing this and being so good at giving helpful information. I’ve listened to hours and hours of this type of content at work for last 3 years, with breaks of coarse:). You’re one of a kind. My heart is full of gratitude. I actually included you in my gratitude prayers last night. Never did that for a content creator before. Haha. If ever you feel ineffective at what you’re doing please remember this comment.
LOL 🤗😊❤Thank you so much for these humbling words. I am always appreciative of prayers from those who follow me. I need them in this line of work! Glad to hear this channel is helpful to you. I will remember this comment indeed.
This is a hard one. I have been hopeful that the triangulation would die out by itself. It's been years, still going.....maybe relocating far away would help? Feels so unfair to have to do that 😔
Yes, it is unfair. I agree. Sometimes moving away can help temporarily. It's hard to saybwhat method will work because, as you know, every situation is different. It sounds like you are tired of it. I'm sorry.
I moved away and I returned 15 years later and it's the same mess, just a different toilet! Same behavior, but NEW CREATURE COMFORTS; they're still miserable. Family is who the universe places us with, our REAL FAMILY is who we hand pick to be in our lives.
Life is difficult enough without having to defend oneself constantly from the said mindset. I've listened 👂👂in, long enough to know that what appear's to happen within the family structure requires the expertise of not only someone knowledgeable about the family structure, but also someone who literally actually has made a conscious effort &/or decision to identify and change their curcumstance as a individual. The few videos that Ive had the opportunity to enjoy provides great guidence and has given some clarity as to the answers needed to solve, coup, & deal with such issues. Thank you & im watching now:🛌😔👀
I really needed this!!! Unfortunately for me, my mom is the triangulator.. She makes up all kind of lies abt me ie. tell family members (1) that I was on drugs, (2) I tried to sexually seduce my foster dad and was put out of the house (3) told my brother that the night his daughter stayed at my house that I made her sleep on my floor. (4) went to my Pastor and told her that I cursed her out. The sad thing is that she never raised me and gave me up to the Foster Care system when I was 2 days old (5) she tells people that she paid my foster family child support. (6)the reason she claims she gave me up was that her mom made her do it. The lists goes on and on. Now I have a shattered reputation based on lies.
I'm sorry to hear this. Believe me when I say you are not alone. With family and parents like this, you have to do a lot of behavior management and seek the right counsel. Having a wise partner in crime or at least having the knowledge to deal with this is essential.
@Uniqueka R. My apologies you had to experience this. I adopted 3 children from the system. I believe guilt is one of perhaps many reasons, your mom does this. It’s not right for your mom to have done this. Sad and disappointing. Praying 🙏 BLESSINGS ❤️
I feel like I need to move. My family is so dysfuntional, I feel like I’ve been all characters in the triangle…. It makes me so depressed & anxious… 😫😞
I learned about Narcissism after a breakup and with that I realized my mother was also narcissistic and was turning my children and other family members against me. But I learned all of this slowly over time. She’s very covert with it. I just don’t understand. It’s draining and depressing to me.
I have been working on trying to recover from at least three narcissistic type women in my family. I'm at the point now where I've gone no contact with most of the people in my family because their behaviors are so emotionally and mentally abusive. I am absolutely amazed at their triangulation stunts, but even more amazed at the blind faith of their flying monkeys. I am amazed at how my covert narc female family members play the victim, and everyone believes them. It's so sickening. They are the ones going around ruining lives, but no one sees that side of them. They cash-in on the havoc they wreak and then go on their merry way with absolutely no remorse. Their behavior and the blind faith of their enablers is so disgusting. It just makes me want to crawl into a hole in the ground and die.
Can you see yourself using these tips? In this video, I discuss how to spot these triangulating tactics and what to do to overcome (or defeat) them. Watch my previous video to catch you up on how these people operate within families: ua-cam.com/video/PY2yMnyHTCM/v-deo.html
Excellent, thank you. It’s painful to review the patterns having been a pawn so many times but your work in the field goes a long way. I know Mental health workers have helped me so much 💕🌸
Sums up MOST of my family members I've known all of my life. So I had to exit. This triangulation antic is something commonly practiced in the work place where managers and supervisors already have a faulty moral compass.
Really helpful! I did not learn effective communication about my thoughts and feelings growing up because I was shamed or ignored whenever I spoke. Your examples and the reasons for them are like guideposts at sunrise. Thank you
What if you just have no energy to deal with your family who does this anymore? I’m pregnant and have a one year old and I just don’t have the time or energy to deal with my extended family anymore. I just want to live a happy peaceful life. The triangulation is constant and never-ending. I have tried to explain to my mom how she is being manipulated into the triangle as the rescuer and how it’s causing problems between she and I, but it’s like she willfully plays ignorant and plays into it constantly. I want to give up trying to make her see it. I have given up trying to talk to the extended family members who just project all their toxic behaviors on me. I don’t engage at all with them and my mom gets mad at me because I don’t.

Your mum's not ignorant, she's a willing participant. People who are part of triangulation, tend to hold similar views. The ones that care would see the truth eventually. You don't have to prove yourself to no-one or speak to any of them. The less they know about you, the better. You have to look out for you. Stay away from toxic people and look after yourself.
Hello Ms. Hill Is it really triangulation since there are not 3 people. From my point of view, an attempt is being made to create a coalition in order to increase power and expand boundaries through a third thing/person - or not?
I have of most recent, gone no contact. During my no contact I have been researching behaviors that have run rampant in the people I have shared DNA. I can't call them family😒
Daannng, TamBaRa, them knee highs are the business. Sorry, my bad, Damn, Tamara, you look awesome. Again, I'm sorry, I ain't no creep, My Lady Therapist ~ my respect to you. But that does look good. Okay, that sure is some effing BS, because this is exactly what I have been going thru right at this time exactly. I feel like Job, and Joseph in the bible. This night up until 12:30am midnight I was doing the dishes in my older brothers house while my sister-in-law was on her computer behind me. I have been thru a lot on going since before the pandemic. I lost my law mentor during the pandemic. I helped my mother with a case from the city and state during her retirement from the defense department. I personally was dealing with judges and Prosecuting attorneys defending my mother and then myself. I faced 1 year and a half in jail but was released in 46 days, never being in jail before. Then, not being behind on any money I lost everything all at once. But to add insult to injury I have been at my brother and sister-in laws. With my nephews and niece coming up on two years now in there basement. I do generally feel ashamed, yet I am honorable, capable, with a clean name and no dishonorable record. My light is still in me, but this is some Effing Bull Sh%t.
😂🙈🙊😂That's hilarious! Thank you. I can see why you would feel like Job and Joseph in the Bible. They struggled so much with people they trusted and thought was for them. In the end, they both realized some hard lessons but also some good wisdom. I do believe we can all have an awakening experience like Job and Joseph, it's just in God's timing and not mine. I'm sorry you have gone through this. It's hard. But you can certainly bounce back with the right "ingredients." *Side note: if you can remove the first sentence profanity that would be great! I don't want UA-cam to censor you. I think this is a good c omment for others to process.
Aren’t we supposed to avoid saying “I feel like….”? I’m genuinely curious on your thoughts. I always thought were suppose to separate thoughts from feelings? Love your videos btw!

I left my narcissistic family because of triangulation. Triangulation is a sneaky and deceptive way to use people. It is evil.
Agree! Good for you. Healthy pivot.

Couldn't agree more. Well put. And I'm sorry you have to re-organize your "family." But it is healthy indeed.
Good for you!
All of us agree

Sad truth that some victims gets mad at the triangulator but ends up being a triangulators also👍
I set a boundary with a disrespectful step daughter and now I am being smeared by the family. I am standing firm and now I see who the players are.

If they aren’t acting like family then you aren’t obligated to put up with them. You and your children should come first
