Narcissistic Manipulation Behind Bars- Prison Letters

#narcissist #truecrime #mentalhealth Today, I break down one of my father's letters from prison, in which he attempts to gaslight and manipulate me as a child. I break down key elements of the letter that I feel either expose narcissistic traits that we might also find in others or that stem into other areas of malignant narcissism or emotional manipulation. *Please note I am not a mental health professional nor am I attempting to diagnose someone, I am only pointing out things that I have learned throughout my years fo dealing with this type of emotional manipulation firsthand. It should be noted that people who suffer from narcissistic personality disorder rarely seek treatment. This is due to their perception of their self-image as they see themselves as special, unique, and above standard. Their fragile ego is unable to accept any flaws or imperfections and thus inflates their own self-image to improve their own self-esteem. Moreover, they project their imperfections on others and blame others for everything that goes wrong.

Many people have experienced some form of trauma in their life. I decided at an early age that our trauma should not be what defines us; it’s what we choose to do with it that does. I was just 11 years old when I witnessed my father murder my mother. When no one believed me except one detective, I gathered evidence against my father, leading police to discover her body buried in another state.  After featuring my story on Forensic Files, I channeled my trauma into filmmaking and podcasting, gaining widespread recognition as the creator and subject of A Murder in Mansfield, a film directed by two-time Oscar winner Barbara Kopple. I share my unique perspective on surviving true crime and trauma every week, overcoming adversity, society, and popular culture. I also interview fellow trauma survivors, academics, advocates, and storytellers and explore what comes next.  You can learn more about Collier on his website: https://www.collierlandry.com
