Therapy made me realize I grew up amongst psychopaths. My parents are psychopaths and their parents are also.

I hope to make new friends through this forum because I feel people on this forum understand the struggles of living amongst Cluster B personality disordered family members.

I had to estrange myself from my family because I felt like I entered a psych ward when I talk to them. These people don't live in reality. It's impossible to maintain a healthy relationship so I cut off contact.
