4 teens assaulted, robbed another teen during Norwalk drug deal, police say
DES MOINES, Iowa — Four teenagers have been charged as adults after police in Norwalk say they assaulted and robbed another teen during a drug deal. The Norwalk Police Department said the incident took place on Saturday, May 24 and started with a Norwalk teen conversing with someone over social media about a drug transaction. A plan to meet in the 900 block of East 17th Street in Indianola was set. Court documents filed in the case say the deal was to buy marijuana and a THC cartridge for $50. Chase suspect bitten by K9 after running from stolen truck, DMPD says Police said that when the victim showed up to complete the transaction, he was assaulted by four teens. They allegedly threatened to shoot him and stole his cell phone, an iPhone 14+. NPD said witnesses broke up the altercation, and police were called. The West Des Moines Police Department and the Warren County Sheriff's Office assisted NPD in locating three suspects who were arrested and charged with first-degree robbery, among other offenses. The fourth suspect in the robbery was identified later and arrested. One of the teens had two handguns on him during the incident. The weapons were seized.

Addicted to likes? This one phone habit could reveal you are dealing with a narcissist, experts say
We've all joked about someone being 'obsessed with their phone,' but what if that attachment to the screen is more than just habit? According to new psychological research , the way someone uses their smartphone—particularly when it comes to social media—might offer a revealing glimpse into something deeper: narcissism . In a study published in the Journal of Research in Personality , researchers from the University of Gdańsk in Poland have uncovered a striking link between compulsive social media use and narcissistic traits. The findings are both fascinating and unsettling—pointing to the idea that your friend who can't stop scrolling might not just be bored, but showing signs of a much more complex personality issue. The Mirror in Your Palm describes narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) as being 'in love with an idealized, grandiose image of themselves.' This exaggerated self-image, they explain, acts as a mask—shielding deep-rooted insecurities. But that mask isn't effortless to maintain. It demands constant admiration, external validation, and a curated reality, all of which platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook readily provide.

Scroll, Like, Repeat: The Addictive Loop of Praise Addiction specialists are now seeing this digital devotion as more than just a cultural shift. The Addiction Center notes that as many as 10 percent of Americans may be addicted to social media. Warning signs include neglecting real-life relationships , missing social events, losing interest in hobbies, and declining performance at work—all in favor of online interaction.

Dr. Anna Lembke, addiction medicine specialist and author of Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence , explains it in one word: dopamine. That quick hit of happiness when someone likes your post isn't harmless—it triggers a pleasure response in the brain, reinforcing the behavior. But over time, the system becomes overloaded. The more we seek these digital highs, the less satisfying they become. It becomes a loop of diminishing returns, leading to overuse and, for some, dependency. The Narcissist Next Door? The Telltale Signs in the Scroll What does this mean for your everyday interactions? If someone close to you seems obsessed with social media, frequently fishing for praise, avoiding deeper emotional connections, or constantly needing to feel superior, psychologists say these could be signs of narcissistic tendencies. According to a report from UNILAD Tech , the Cleveland Clinic outlines traits like entitlement, lack of empathy, constant need for admiration, and arrogance as classic markers of NPD. Pair those with compulsive phone use and it's not just a bad habit—it might be a red flag. In a world increasingly mediated by screens, it's worth asking: is our need for connection becoming a need for applause? And at what point does performance for likes become a psychological warning sign?

This woman thinks celebrating your own birthday is narcissistic — is she right?
Be it a birthday, an anniversary or simply surviving a tough week, I've always loved finding an excuse to celebrate. But according to the internet, this makes me a 'narcissist'. Taking to the Am I Being Unreasonable forum on Mumsnet, one woman sparked a heated debate this week when she proclaimed: 'I think celebrating one's birthday is a very narcissistic thing to do.' She confessed she'd never understood the need to celebrate a birthday as an adult, as she thought it was just 'attention seeking' behaviour. 'Look at me…it's my day, make me feel so special blah blah blah,' she continued. 'I find it all so narcissistic. People getting extremely offended if their birthday is forgotten. Do you really care if someone has just got a year older?' For the most part, the comments read like variations of the iconic Come Dine with Me line: 'Dear Lord, what a sad little life, Jane.' Some branded the woman's view 'miserable' and and argued that birthdays were just meant to be 'a bit of fun'. A few also pointed out that getting older is a 'privilege' not everyone is afforded. However, there were some who agreed with the original post, saying adults who celebrate their birthdays were 'childish' and 'cringe'. While others said they didn't want to 'make a fuss' and felt 'awkward' about celebrating themselves. 'I like birthdays but some people do go over the top,' a fellow Mumsnet user posted in response. 'I have a mate who got her whole garden decked out in a certain theme and booked a DJ for her last birthday, which was her 34th, so not even a big birthday. She organised it all herself. A bit self-indulgent, but if it makes her happy that's up to her.' Someone else shared: 'It is one thing, if others decide to celebrate your birthday. Lovely! But to insist on it and winge on if others forget? Get over yourself. I've always thought throwing your own birthday party is very cringe too.' Metro asked registered members of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) for their thoughts. And the good news is celebrating your birthday doesn't make you a narcissist – at least, not in the diagnosable sense of the word. Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is estimated to affect around 1% of the population and is characterised by a grandiose sense of self-importance, a lack of empathy, an intense need for admiration, a deep envy of others, the belief they're unique and deserving of special treatment, and a preoccupation with brilliance and unlimited power. While many of us display some of these traits from time to time, it's considered pathological when it's a pattern of behaviours which impair a person's daily functioning – with others often caught in the crossfire. According to the NHS, a person with a personality disorder 'thinks, feels, behaves or relates to others very differently from the average person.' Therapist, LJ Jones believes most people who throw around the term 'narcissism' have little understanding of what the disorder actually is. But she's clear that celebrating your own birthday isn't an example of this. 'We all know that certain someone who is elaborate, extravagant or simply stretches their birth date to span the whole month; however, this does not warrant a diagnosis of narcissism.' She adds that celebrating your birthday only becomes cause for concern in 'extreme cases of self-obsession'. 'It only becomes over-indulgent when it's rooted in entitlement or a need for admiration at the expense of others,' she explains. 'For example, expecting everyone to bend over backwards, purchase expensive gifts, or reacting with anger when attention isn't given, or gifts aren't bought. Using your birthday to feel superior in such ways are possible red flags, but still not necessarily an indicator that a person is narcissistic. There are many other considerations, including people's unconscious need to stand out on social media.' Debbie Keenan, a senior accredited psychotherapist, agrees that celebrating your birthday isn't narcissistic. However, she claims there is a line where a person's behaviour could veer towards it. She explains: 'Celebrating your birthday isn't narcissistic, unless it stops being about joy and connection and starts being about attention and entitlement. Clinical narcissism is a deeper pattern of behaviour, constant validation-seeking, lack of empathy, and a sense that the world revolves around you. How you chose to celebrate another trip around the sun could reveal something else about yourself though. For counsellor Georgina Sturmer, it can be an indicator of your attachment style. There are four main attachment styles according to attachment theory, which are Secure, Anxious-Preoccupied, Dismissive-Avoidant and Fearful-Avoidant). These are thought to influence how we form and maintain relationships throughout our lives. Georgina says: 'A securely attached individual is likely be flexible and enjoy the festivities without needing to go over the top. By contrast, someone who has a preoccupied, or anxious, attachment style, might seem quite needy in how they approach celebrations. 'Festivities and attention might be an important part of how they seek reassurance and attention from others. ' At the other end of the spectrum, someone who has a dismissive, or avoidant, attachment style, might shy away from festivities all together. 'The spotlight might feel intrusive or awkward if we feel more comfortable on the outside, looking in,' says Georgina. She continues: 'This isn't black and white, it's about understanding the reasons behind the behaviour.' Experts actually told us it's 'healthy' to celebrate yourself. More Trending LJ Jones adds: It is totally normal and healthy to want to acknowledge your own existence, joy, and milestones,' she tells us. 'Some people might appear to go more 'over the top' but perhaps they weren't made much of a fuss of from caregivers during their childhood or adolescence.' So, as Debbie Keenan says: 'Throw that party, enjoy your birthday week and mark the moment however you like. It's not narcissistic, it's just being human.' Do you have a story to share?

My mum's dead to me: why women are cutting ties with their toxic parent
'A mother is a daughter's best friend'. It's a saccharine statement that wouldn't look out of place on a schmaltzy card or on a fridge magnet, but for women who have grown up with a toxic parent, it's far from the truth. As our familiarity with modern therapy and its buzzwords has grown, so has the amount of people taking a critical view of the key relationships in their life and how they have shaped them – for better and for worse. The national lexicon now includes terms once only found in psychology textbooks, with everyone from politicians to partners to parents being labelled 'narcissists'. But what does the term actually mean? Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a serious antisocial personality condition which manifests as extreme levels of self-involvement, causing people with the condition to ignore the needs and feelings of others, including their family members, and children. Narcissists often hold grandiose opinions of themselves. It's a chronic condition, and there is no cure. But if you are unlucky enough to end up with a narcissist in your life – and still worse, if you've been raised by one – what do you do? Many make the decision to go 'no contact', but is that the best approach? Here two women who have discovered emotional contentment after deciding their narcissistic mothers had no place in their lives explain why they had to cut them off – while a therapist explains the pros and cons of stopping contact. Mariette Jansen, 66, is a life coach and expert in narcissism. She grew up with a narcissistic mother and eventually broke contact with her in her 50s. Going no contact with my mother gave me a sense of freedom which I had never experienced before. Suddenly, aged 55, I could just be me. I was no longer on the lookout for danger, I didn't have to cope with her negative comments, and I didn't need to deal with the disappointment of how she showed up, or more accurately didn't show up, in my life. One of my earliest memories is of being a baby. I am wearing a nappy and a beautiful dress. I am sitting in the middle of a big cold, dark room, on dark parquet flooring – which we had in my childhood home in the Netherlands – and feeling so unsafe. The second most vivid memory is from when I was about six or seven, and telling my parents that I didn't think I belonged in the family. My mother had a twin brother, and although I didn't know him very well, I had convinced myself I was actually his daughter. My parents laughed at me and dismissed it, and it was never mentioned again, but that feeling that things weren't right in our family, and it was all my fault, and my duty to repair it stayed with me. I am the second of three children, but as my older brother was born with learning and physical disabilities I was treated like the eldest child and expected to shoulder all the responsibilities. My younger sister and I weren't as close as we could have been, mostly due to my mother sabotaging our relationship – a common tactic used by narcissistic parents. Family life was all about being diminished and being talked down to. It was all negative. It was nasty, but to outsiders, we looked like the perfect, lovely family. My mother was passionate about tennis, and made the whole family compete. This was the only time she ever paid attention to me, but my true passion was hockey. She never once came to support me. When I was at university, I wrote her a letter telling her how I felt about our relationship, and although I know she received it, I do not know if she read it. I moved to the UK 27 years ago after falling in love with my husband, Iain. I didn't start a family until I was 40, and happily I fell pregnant easily. Shortly afterwards, I quit my job in the City and retrained as a psychotherapist. I now specialise in helping other survivors of narcissistic abuse. I travelled back to the Netherlands to share the news. My mother simply said, 'Do you really want to be pregnant?' The prospect of a grandchild didn't change our relationship. As my due date approached, she and my father booked a holiday to Canada. It was the furthest they had ever travelled in their lives. Thankfully my mother-in-law was there to give me the support I needed. I decided I wanted to do everything the opposite way my mother had, and prayed I'd have a boy; if it had been a girl, I feared I would have become my mother. When my sister died, aged just 50, my mother hated that she had made me one of the executors of her estate. She was livid she didn't have control and demanded I give her my late sister's treadmill and coffee machine. Nothing sentimental, just her most expensive possessions. The final straw for me was when she refused to let me speak to my brother on his deathbed. I called the hospital, and heard her telling the nurse not to take my call. I was robbed of a goodbye. By this time, I had a deeper understanding of narcissism and I knew that there was no hope that our relationship would ever change. Eleven years ago, I called her and said, ' I don't want any contact with you. Every time I speak to you I'm upset and it's upsetting the boys. There's nothing to be gained.' I stopped speaking to my father, too. I didn't feel sadness: I had been grieving her my entire life. But I wondered how I'd feel when she died. Both my parents passed away during our estrangement, my father first, then my mother, five years ago. I found out randomly, after someone messaged me on Facebook offering their condolences. The funeral had already taken place, but I wouldn't have gone anyway. On her death certificate, which used information she had given to her care home, it said she had never been married nor had children. She had erased our family from her existence. Now, I feel blessed. I have a brilliant family. We chat away, muck about, and laugh endlessly. Until I had my own kids, I never believed it could be possible to have a family where fun and trust and respect is high on the list. It's been healing. Dr. Mariette Jansen is the author of From Victim to Victor: Narcissism Survival Guide. Find out more here. Matilde Crocini, 40, grew up in Italy before moving to the UK. She decided to cut her demanding mother out of her life. The last time I spoke to my mother was three and a half years ago. She'd spent 15 minutes yelling at me down the phone. It was so loud and vicious that my two daughters, who are now aged 11 and 14, could hear her every word. It was at that point I told her 'I don't need this', and I haven't heard from her since. For the first 10 years of my life I was raised by my maternal grandmother in Italy, with mum rarely around. She worked away, and when she did come home she tried to force me to behave as she wanted, even though I felt little connection to her. I found her overbearing and her demands were often overwhelming and confusing. Then when I was 12, mum moved from our hometown in Italy to Ireland, and I joined her after I finished college. The disruption meant my childhood was chaotic and messy, and while I didn't look for support then, I think I would have been diagnosed with depression from my early teens if I had. As an adult, to get myself in a better place emotionally, I studied herbal medicine, started practising yoga, and became a reiki master. I met my husband 17 years ago, during a chaotic period in my life which heavily involved my mother, and we went on to have two children. But around six years ago I felt everything in my life was going belly up. Work was stalling, our marriage was going badly, and my relationship with my eldest daughter had become increasingly difficult. Up until that point, my mother had been the world to me. Even though I'd always felt like there was some sort of crazy competition between us, I thought she was my best friend. Despite my fractured childhood relationship with her, we had grown to be super close, although she did interfere in my relationship with my grandmother. Still, I was the only member of my family who didn't fight with her, and believed I was breaking my family's generational curse of mothers and daughters with disastrous relationships. Then, I started to delve deeper into into my emotions and was confronted with some hard truths about my mother, although I still had no idea what maternal narcissism was, and I had no idea what 'no contact' was, either. In early 2022 we were talking on the phone – she had since moved back to Italy – and things got heated. She began yelling at me and calling me names, and something in me clicked. I thought: 'That's it! She does this all the time, and I'm always putting up with it. But I'm not going to do it any more.' I calmly told her I had something else to do and I wouldn't accept her behaviour any more. That was the last time we spoke. The fall-out from my decision made me realise something was seriously 'off' in our relationship. She turned it into a big story about me having hung up on her, being the bad daughter. I was the problem for being too sensitive. Family members tried to get involved and fight my mother's corner, a classic 'flying monkeys' scenario, where a narcissistic person will despatch others to do their dirty work. My grandparents would ask me, 'How can one phone call be the issue?' Every now and again someone will raise the prospect of me talking to my mother again, but I am happy with my decision and I am entirely unmovable. I was never able to say no to her, or to anyone else, and not everyone is comfortable with me now being able to confidently use that word. I have had support from my dad, who has been divorced from my mum for decades. He has been understanding. He could see how enmeshed I was with her, and how that relationship controlled my life emotionally. I do think that the physical distance between us – she lives near Florence – has made going no contact easier in a sense. But it hasn't just been a case of removing myself from my mother's orbit. I've had to do a lot of work on myself, too. Do I have regrets that she's not in my daughters' lives? The short answer is no. I talk about her with them and they know the whole story. Thankfully, their great-grandmother is very present, and that's who they call granny. And, until she passed away two years ago, they also had an amazing grandmother on their dad's side. I used to catch myself repeating the patterns from my own childhood. My behaviour was similar to my mum's and it was impacting my girls' confidence, their capacity to relate to others and their capacity to relate to me. Going no contact has changed that. It has given me the space to look deep into myself and see how I was behaving with my daughters. Now I am much closer to them, and we have a beautiful, open relationship. I can take responsibility and apologise if I say something that's off, and they feel comfortable telling me anything – even if it's to tell me I've said something which has upset them. What I have learnt from my own experience has empowered me to help other women heal their mother wounds. It powers my podcast, Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers, and the group- and one-on-one healing I do with other women who are struggling with the legacy of how they were parented. Find out more about Matilde's work here and listen to Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers on Spotify. Sally Baker I've had clients who've had incredibly toxic and damaging relationships with their mothers, but unless they have been truly abusive – sexually, or physically – and it has carried on into adulthood, I don't generally advise cutting off contact. In some extreme cases, where the now-adult child feels like they've been groomed or are so disempowered in the relationship with their mother that they simply can't put boundaries in place, or come up with any rationale where they can protect themselves, I believe that no contact can be used as a last resort. Instead, what is really useful to explore when trapped in a difficult maternal dynamic is to work on building your resilience. Many women struggle to put boundaries in place, but I believe that learning the skills and building the confidence to do that should be the first step. Putting in boundaries is about placing brackets and scaffolding to structure that relationship in a way that suits you. It can be as simple as reducing a weekly call to a monthly one, or placing a time limit for how long your conversations or meet ups are. People go to great lengths to escape negative parenting, or a really toxic relationship with their parents, but it's possible to get the same sense of relief by doing their own psychological work in therapy. I often do 'two chair' work with clients whose mother has died, or they're not in contact with, where you talk to the absent parent. The pain they feel is as real and as raw as if the mother was still alive or in the room, so just going no contact isn't going to work – you need to focus on emotional healing, too. Until people address their hurting inner child, they may continue to run a pattern in their lives where they choose sexual and romantic partners who play out the same scenario they experienced in childhood. Whether it's spending years in a one-sided relationship with someone who truly won't commit to them, or it can be a scenario where it's someone who puts them down and mistreats them, they'll be caught in a loop of negative scenarios that are playing out and replicate that earlier relationship. There's no way I am advocating for women to be open to continued verbal or emotional abuse from their mother, but I just don't feel in most cases that going no contact is the answer. I'm more for doing the work, getting it resolved and released and then, when you have clarity, decide what you want to do. Protecting yourself and holding someone at distance comes with pain, and it comes with emotional fallout, so it's not a decision to be taken lightly.

Narcissism
By Rania Sa'adi Rapid Transformational Therapist & Clinical Hypnotherapist At its extreme, narcissism can be classified as Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), a condition that negatively affects both the individual and those around them. Understanding Narcissism Narcissism is not just about arrogance or selfimportance — it is not simply a personality flaw but a deep-rooted psychological wound that stems from early childhood experiences. It is a mask covering up deep insecurities and unmet emotional needs. Most narcissists experienced childhood neglect, emotional abandonment, or an environment where love was conditional. They may have been excessively praised for achievements, but not valued for who they are, leading to an internal belief that they must constantly prove their worth. Many narcissists have a core belief of 'I am not enough.' To compensate, they develop a grandiose self-image to seek external validation. Their behaviour, whether manipulative, controlling, or dismissive of others, is a defence mechanism designed to protect them from facing deep-rooted feelings of unworthiness. In a Relationship with A Narcissist One of the most significant impacts of narcissism is on relationships. Narcissists often struggle with forming genuine, emotionally fulfilling connections because they lack the ability to truly empathise. They view relationships primarily as a way to gain admiration, validation, or control, rather than as mutual partnerships based on reciprocity. People in relationships with narcissists, whether romantic partners, family members, or colleagues, often experience emotional exhaustion, self-doubt and a loss of self-worth. The narcissist's constant need for attention and their inability to handle criticism can create a toxic cycle where the other person is gaslighted into questioning their abilities. People who attract narcissistic partners often have their own unresolved childhood wounds. Many have grown up in environments where love was inconsistent, making them subconsciously drawn to relationships that feel familiar. RTT helps individuals recognize these patterns and reprogramme their subconscious beliefs to establish healthier relationships, and attract more balanced partners. 'They view relationships primarily as a way to gain admiration, validation, or control, rather than as mutual partnerships based on reciprocity.' The Impact of Narcissism on Mental Health The effects of narcissistic relationships extend beyond emotional distress; they can significantly impact mental health. Victims often experience anxiety, depression, and even symptoms of PTSD due to prolonged exposure to manipulation and emotional abuse. The narcissist's behaviour can lead the victim to continuous self-doubt and a diminished sense of self-worth. Healing from narcissistic abuse involves understanding that the narcissist's behavior is not about the victim but rather a reflection of their own deep insecurities. By uncovering the subconscious beliefs that make individuals susceptible to toxic relationships and replacing them with empowering beliefs. Can a Narcissist Change? One of the most debated questions is whether a narcissist can change. I believe that transformation is possible, but only if the narcissist recognises their own pain and takes responsibility for healing. Since narcissists often resist acknowledging that they need help, change is rare unless they actively seek therapy and commit to self-awareness. RTT can help narcissists by uncovering the root of their insecurities and reframing their core beliefs. However, because most narcissists lack the self-reflection necessary for change, therapy is often more beneficial for those who have been affected by them. Healing and Moving Forward Those recovering from narcissistic relationships, should advocate for self-love, boundary-setting, and rewiring subconscious beliefs. Victims of a narcissistic relationship need to rebuild their self-worth and create a mindset that no longer attracts or tolerates narcissistic behaviour. The key to healing is recognising that true love and validation come from within, not from external approval. By shifting their mindset, individuals can break free from toxic cycles and develop healthier, more fulfilling relationships. A mantra that says 'I am enough,' that can help empower people, so that they can truly step into a life of emotional freedom. Reprinted with permission from Family Flavours magazine
