The Narcissist in our family is my sister, and my mother, when she was alive, put her foot down and stopped the Narcissist when things got ugly. But now my mother is dead and everyone is in total kiss up mode. It is kind of scary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32237145.post-45057248808596190592007-08-03T18:05:00.000-06:002007-08-03T18:05:00.000-06:00This is a fascinating and timely analysis. My hus...This is a fascinating and timely analysis. My husband and I were just talking about this very verse the other day in relation to our families. We have also discovered a rather nasty parallel with the administration at our children's christian school. We have been dealing with a case of bullying which was apparently being dealt with fine until we decided the school counsellor was taking far too long to investigate our claims. We told the school principal we didn't like her methods and asked that she be taken off the case as we would get our daughter help outside the school. <BR/><BR/>The principal suddenly became Mr. Nasty. We got abusive phone calls and a letter informing us that because we no longer 'supported' him, he was no longer able to investigate the bullying and deal with it. In other words, unless we did it his way he wasn't going to help us. Not only that but all of a sudden it was no longer a case of bullying, but a 'problem of perception' from our point of view. In other words, the school didn't actually admit our daughter was being bullied, it was just a series of 'conflicts'. This guy is a christian and we (ha,ha) trusted him, and believed his concern for us and our daughter. When it came right down to it, it was all just smoke and mirrors, and any cooperation on his part was feigned.<BR/><BR/>I read recently that bullies often rise to the top in any organisation, but when you look at the Matthew 10 verse, its far too easy to find examples of this in all walks of christian life. We are meant to be a body of believers and a spiritual family. We have seen pastors, elders, and now principals operate under narcissistic principles of behaviour time and time again, and every time it leaves us emotionally and physically exhausted with frustration. <BR/><BR/>Thankyou for your crusade for the truth. The more voices raised against 'being nice is better than being honest', and 'divine authority means never having to say your sorry' the more the individual believer feels part of a true spiritual family.<BR/><BR/>JordieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
