Customer Reviews
A Campaign Of Denigration
Deziana’s mother is unhinged and projecting as usual by constantly telling Deziana she’s “going to be a deadbeat like her Dad” when in reality her mother is the true definition of a deadbeat who did nothing but pity herself for being an unsuccessful single mother, that no man ever wanted to stay with, whose only marriage ended in an annulment, while blaming it all on Deziana’s father and vocalizing all of that to her kids their whole lives. Deziana’s mother is a histrionic narcissist. The fact that Deziana’s mother regularly has delusions of grandeur with auditory hallucinations and so-called prophetic dreams is enough for me to form my opinion on this narcissistic family structure they got going on, pointing their fingers at everyone but themselves.
Deziana’s father finished school while raising a family, earned a six figure Union job and got married while always paying child support payments to Deziana’s mother that he has receipts for. Deziana refused regular visitation with her father but claims she was abandoned. The feeling of emotional abandonment Deziana experiences in life was more than likely caused by her narcissistic mother. The way Deziana speaks on her father is how her boundary lacking mother taught her and is nothing more than an alienated histrionic narcissist golden child’s campaign of denigration.
How long are they going to blame that man for all of their life problems? Good for him for getting away from that woman asap. Deziana’s father is extremely resilient & successful & no longer with her mother & that’s what Deziana & her mother been really mad about all these years. Research Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Histrionic Personality Disorder, Histrionic Narcissist, Narcissistic Parental Alienation, Parental Alienation Syndrome & Golden Child Syndrome if you plan on following Deziana Torres.
