[Progress] I told both of my Nparents no to eating out with them raisedbynarcissists

After I stopped going to their church, I feel much freer and less anxious or depressed. It's great and all, but my Nparents won't like it. I noticed that my Nparents would sometimes sneak in a lecture to throw at me whenever I see them which would turn into a fight. Needless to say, I stopped trusting them and have been avoiding them ever since.

Both my Nparents texted me this week asking if I want to go out to dinner or lunch with them. I didn't want to see them after all the emotional and mental abuse I have sustained from them and all the times I was berated over nothing, then gaslighted by those same people later on when I call them out on their behavior.

Nmom was the first to text me. She asked if I wanted to go to dinner with them. I made up an excuse and said that I need to eat all the food in my refrigerator before it goes bad (which is true). She responded with "We need to see you sometime." If my Nparents really are narcissists, they want me to give them their narcissistic supply. Today, my Ndad texted me asking if I wanted to eat lunch with them after church. Unable to come up with an excuse, I politely declined. I'm glad I told them no. Seeing them is like playing Russian Roulette. I always have a feeling that something bad will happen when I see them.
