How do adult children deal with a narcissistic father who torments them with his behavior?
DISTANCE YOURSELF!!! Don't take the abuse! *I have FINALLY been enlightened as to what I've been dealing with all these years. Wow! There is a GOD! I'm an adult child of a narcisstic father, and I had to gain "Radical Acceptance" of his illness and the fact that he can't change or control himself. It's so sad really. I've decided that I absolutely have to set bounderies in this relationship, if I don't, he'll run me over and I'll be upset AGAIN that I didn't stand up for myself and my family. Distance from this toxic and harmful relationship is necessary to keep your self-esteem and worthiness intact. If these are already in tact and unshakable, then when your dealing with him you can respond with "I understand what your saying," "I have different feelings about that," etc.. Use I messages so that he doesn't feel threatened. Just keep telling yourself that he's ill. How would you treat a sick person? Best Of Luck to you

Why was the father suddenly a stranger to his children?
The father became a stranger to his children due to prolonged absence, perhaps caused by work commitments, personal issues, or emotional detachment. This distance fostered a disconnect, making it difficult for the children to relate to him or feel his presence in their lives. Additionally, changes in the father's behavior or personality might have further alienated him, leading to a sense of unfamiliarity. As a result, the familial bond weakened, transforming him into a stranger in the eyes of his children.
