By leaving, you proved yourself to be a loving, protective parent. While you might have tolerated your own suffering, seeing it directed at your child was unacceptable, and you took action. That choice speaks volumes about your strength and empathy, especially compared to the narcissistic parent, who often seeks custody for control, not genuine love.
The divine, God, or Universe cared enough to send you a child who encouraged you to find love, healing, and happiness. By witnessing your child’s joy and playfulness, you see a path forward. While they may struggle as they navigate two households, they have coping mechanisms, and with your nurturing (balanced by discipline), they will thrive.
Overindulgence, which can sometimes stem from guilt, can lead to creating a narcissistic child. It’s crucial to nurture them with boundaries and organization. Will they rebel or compare households? Yes, but they need to understand that freedom comes with responsibility and consequences. Your role is to be confident, to trust in the divine guidance you’ve received, and to nurture this gift—a true angel sent into your life.
