I guess it's all one sided wirh these heartless evil demonic dark empty souls looking for the next victim to victimize & prey on it's so many out here now in this world 🌎...so crazy & that's why empathetic ppl need to always wear an amore of protection & stayed prayed up.🙏..making sure these narcs don't target us 🤦🤦
My husband is a narcissist. I'm seeing things so clearly now. I'm focusing on self-love and taking steps to having a healthy life and future without him. My feelings are hurt....but I love myself enough to walk away! Just speaking my truth.
Leave. Before it is too late. I was with a narc for 16yrs. I FIGURED IT OUT TO LATE..when he made the finale mask drop.. it was subtle things but it was all tell tale signs of a Narcissist. I just didn't know this kind of person could exist and be hidden peeking out gradually over the years.They do not change. By the time they blind side u and reveal themselves .you are then drained and exhausted. In various ways.They will leave you wounded,disrespected bertrayed,abused,confused,violated by heartbreaking actions and word,lies,deceitful, masked 2 face dark souls.There are more pattern behaviors you will discover the longer you stay.They claim the victim but are the aggressor.. I hope you do choose you over them. I had to chose myself because he couldn't and didn't. I realized the traits make them incompatible for a healthy relationship or love. Be strong and don't let them love bomb you or hoover you to keep them around.
But there's only a .01% chance you'll ever get a narcissist to believe they are a narcissist. That look is of confusion... that you don't know what you're talking about, unfortunately. Or they'll claim you don't know what a narc is... don't forget they 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 they are experts on every topic.
I'm not afraid of the narcissist. When I left mine, I was in his car and I leaned over (after 5 grooling years) and said: "I CAN'T STAND YOU ANYMORE, AND I WANT TO GET RID OF YOU." His face was PRICELESS! I got out of his car, got into my car and drove away! I just couldn't take it anymore!!!
Do NOT accept ANYTHING off a Narcissist .. Anything they offer WILL have an ulterior motive ... They are NOT team players .. Anything they offer will have a "Catch"
I will say ..... a GIFT is a GIFT .... take it but ... when they come back to ask you a favor say it strait to their face “” you gave me this gift , and I didn’t agree to anything besides accepting your gift “ in other words you DESERVE a GIFT but you are not obligated to that person to do nothing instead !!!! It is a gift ! They make you think you are obligated !!! Be smart !!! You deserve gifts period!!!!! Do not TRADE gifts for sex , attention or anything else . You really are a good person !!!
Yes. The double standard is "you do for me, love me, care for me, believe me, do everything I want you to do," while they abuse, lie, steal, cheat, and most of all project all their self hate, anger and bitterness on you. Don't waste your time arguing instead try the Observe and Obsorb technique. Just listen and don't say a word. This really works. It's very hard to fight with someone who does not fight you back. Excellent topic Clarise.
An old Chinese story. A man was rowing his boat in a lake. After several minutes, there was a crash. He immediately began cussing the person he thought had run into him. Still cursing, he stood and turned towards the boat, a boat that was empty, a boat that had broken away from the dock and was just drifting. Moral of the story --Keep your boat empty. --
2:56 "Narcissist want the very best from you, but expect you to settle for breadcrumbs from them." Great example of their typical double standards. It isn't always this way with them cuz they have a mask. But eventually that heavy-assed mask slips off of them. The covert ones are just as dangerous with this one as the overts are. They'll silent treatment you when you start calling them out. Give them a permanent one back, or rejoice if they discarded you. Both types do damage in insidious ways. The devalue phase is snuck up on you.
To my Narcissistic Ex-Wife and her Blaming Mother who is married to a Pastor from the Washington Coast, I have a little proverb for you two, Revenge is a Dish, That is Best Served Cold!
It took quite a few years for me to realize what was going on, this is because he was so good at deceiving and manipulating me but God has been gradually opening my eyes to understand who this person really is.
I did not know anything about malignant narcissism but in order to try and find out what is going on I somehow found out on the internet, cannot remember how and then somehow after that I was learning about narcissism. Only conclusion is God was opening my eyes.
The same thing happened to me, Ian. The patterns of emotional abuse made no logical sense to me at first. WHY WAS HE TREATING ME THIS WAY? HE WAS SO MEAN ABOUT IT! And then if I tried to discuss the raging, the hypocrisy, or the double standard, OR MY personal favorite....100 s of times he would say sorry for neglect and He would PROMISE to spend quality, alone time together, ---- would never happen in 4 years! Fed up, gave up, saw one of these videos and been learning how to get Me back, now that I know what I am up against. Secretly arranging to move out, fortunately I have a good solid alibi. Family excuse! I never want to see him ever again. He took everything from me. Nope, not ever.
I am sorry to hear that Jamie. I am still at war with the Narc that is trying to destroy me and my ex-wife Linda although she is not aware of the serious danger she is in. I am relying on God to deliver us because this extremely covert narcissist has us both trapped. He has been attacking me and Linda continually for seven and a half years although I was not aware for the first few years but gradually I became aware something is wrong. The Narc just wants his supply and does not care who who he hurts in the process to get it. The Covert Narc that attacks me continually practices extreme false humility that is why as far as I know no one really knows he is a narcissist because he acts so nice. If you read John chapter 8 verses 42-48, Jesus says such people belong to the Devil. Hope things will turn out well for you as I know only too well these Narcs can rip you to pieces spiritually. They could repent of their sin but I think most of them like the irresponsible ways of narcissism.
My ex covert gave me a rule that I was only to share my feelings once a week. Being away now 5 months I can finally share my emotions and this feels like I'm getting my life back.
When I look back of the yrs I was wth the narc.... which is still quite often. I'm utterly in shock of the destruction that these kinds of disturbed ppl can do to others. I've been apart from thm for a few yrs now. It's a calm before the storm. The worst part is what he's done to our children. Thank u 🙏
I've be no contact with a Narcissistic at my children's school. For four years now, she's being trying hover me up and gas light me. I can't wait to change my children's school. I feel so uncountable going there every single day having to see her.
I worked for a malignant narcissist. I was running one of his 2 factories and increased production fourfold. He didn't like the fact I socialised with 2 other employees once. When he found out, he stormed into my office and accused me of something outside my realm. In the very next breath standing over me demanded I sack one of the two that I went out with. From then on the devaluing was relentless. Two months later I was relegated to the most demeaning position.He then took control of where I was what duties I had to do on my weekends. I walked. Life has never been the same. Fifteen months later he had authorised someone else to open my personal mail and photograph the contents and send it to me via email. Hoping I would be stupid enough to call back and give an address. I lost my health upon realising the full impact of the damage he had caused. I have itemised all infractions and emailed a letter to the General Manager. His weak reply was " if I feel agreaved to call him" I am about to approach A Current Affairs to expose him and the manipulation tactics, harassment and intimidation in the workplace. Let's get a discourse happening about abuse in the workplace.
I have something the narcissist want, and will always come for it. Which means I control the game. Point of correction I don't escape narcissist No, they escape me 🤣
When confronted with lies, he would double down on the lie and then blame me for being too sensitive and fault finding and expecting him to be perfect…like I shouldn’t have an issue with being lied to. Would also say that he is so honest but in reality is a compulsive liar.
It is known as apathy and the treatment of indifference, they put you in the box while openly flirting with others infront of you, by telling you as to how low they think of you, it is utter disrespect.
Narcissists don´t care what impact they bring in the life others as long as they blame others as judgemental or hypocrite just because of the way the see them. Narcissists know how to make you feel that you only see them in the way you do is because of your option as if there is no reality but the focus.
Everything in this video is soo true. I was that target for almost 50yrs. Now all I see are Male Narcissists and I come to discover that some family are Narcissists too. I wish I had this info on Narcs. Years ago. I was living in total confusion, manipulation I was being gaslighted, cheated on debased in company, I was not allowed to know ex's earnings he controlled the finances which meant I didn't get an allowance for clothes I didn't get a rise in housekeeping as inflation arose when I asked I was told " he didn't have anymore money". I struggl ed for years until my last child started school I took courses did night duty in a Nursing home for the Physically and Mentally challenged. I worked part time and when the youngest started Grammar School I went fulltime into Receception work with a large International Construction Company. I progressed from this where I was asked my another Company to join them as a PA. This is where it all well pear shaped. The insults started,the trying to put me off the job. It went on so covertly that a magnifying glass or Microscope would never have picked it up. My sister had no idea my ex was treating me this way. Everyone thought he was the quiet gentleman including her. Anyway I never took the PA job when I told him about being offered it it was a
Contd., downhill course of making me feel inadequate putting doubts in my head so I would feel nervous and Not Believe in myself. He won I didn't take the job offer. I stayed with a very good employer. After months of all my ex's put downs etc etc. I left that employment and I retired . I had been ill on and off for years. It was then discovered I had a Chronic illness. I was constantly ill. Then in 2013 I took seriously ill and had to be taken to hospital were I was immediately brought to theatre for a imminent life threatening major operation. I could have died or have been left with lifestyle changes. I survived the op. A couple of days later my stitches burst in my stomach, Sepsis set in and my organs started to fail. I battled through was five weeks in hospital and came home with hole in my tummy still open. It took 7months to close from me coming home. I had to wear a drainage pump for months to drain away any toxins from my opened wound. The Consultant could not find a Valid reason why my Bowel Perforated and after chatting to me for quite sometime and eventually hearing of the life I had been living and all that burying of emotion and all that insult and deprivation and raising my five children and trying to make ends meet in a loveless marriage to a person who looked out more for himself was the root cause of my health problems. When you constantly live in a fight/flight existence. One's body is not performing at it's best and it's optimum. While your Mental health is also struggling to figure all the abuse out it is not working at it's optimum performance either put the two together something has to give. I have to tell this to those of you out there that may be going through this and maybe some on their own. Please don't live this life . It is just a pathetic existence. GET HELP. You deserve it. You are a unique human being. Only one of YOU in the whole Universe. How's that then? I am 6yrs parted from my ex husband. It was the best thing I ever did and the hardest. I am still healing it's hard to do at 73yrs. But not as hard and soul destroying as living with a Narcissist. Of any type. I am a Christian and it would be remiss of me not to say that my Faith helped me through. I talked to God I poured my heart and soul out to Him and I handed over all to Him. I am happier, at peace and I have my 5 adult children and 16 grandchildren to fill what's left of my life. God Bless all who may read this and Take Hope and live YOUR LIFE the way you want and should.❤
One time i mentioned the golden rule to my ex narcissist....you know...you should treat others the way you want to be treated. I said its an even way to determine whats right or wrong. She said...and i quote "be careful with that" LOL
What an informative young lady.. I thank her for helping those who did not know what to do with narcs..or how to even know they are watching you.. spending their days and nights planning on ways to destroy you.. can ppl be so empty inside? why can't they wake up from their own nightmare?
This is so true, there was a covert narcissist woman, she had a smirk after she try to manipulate me the first time that I was fooled to think she wanted to help me. Its true she feed up with my emotion. But the second time she played the second part of her show I figured out she was manipulating me. I kept calm and left. No contact ever. I told all my families what she did and she is very likely be a sociopath, everybody trusted me, and one of my family who was very friendly to her finally found out the truth about her decided will not treat her as a friend any more and will gray rock her as well. The covert narcissist thought she was so smart, but I witnessed how she made her life miserable just cause she thought she is so intelligent. She is filled up with self-hate and restless in her heart. In the beginning I felt bad for her cause she is having a hard life, in the end I figured it ALL make sense that her life ends up in that way.
In my humble opinion, as someone recovering from NPD abuse, one problem when it comes to EXCUSES is how a significant part of the anti-NPD community claims it's the narc's "bad childhood" or "low self-esteem" self-justication for their abuse. That is SO STUCK in the 1980s psychological mumbo jumbo of rationalizing others BAD BEHAVIOUR that it makes me almost think that some narc created some of this anti-narc playbook here and there! (1973 DOB guy here). Fortunately our video presenter does not go there in the handful of videos I have seen from her. Makes her seem to be a LEGIT anti-narc WARRIOR. Thank you! (or her, I mean)
Great video! To not accept a narcissist's double standards, will result in discard! They cannot exist without dysfunction. Discard is a blessing although it may not feel like it at the time!!!
Girl you are truly amazing and right on target, and I cannot began to tell you how much I appreciate your honesty and empathy and understanding of the whole thing of treat others the way you want to be treated, something that the narcissist will never do!!!!!!!!! Thank you so very much again!!!!!!!!
Thank you Clarice, excellent video, very clear and understandable. I basically still remain a hostage in my own home, the narcissist living with us has so successfully decieved and manipulated my ex-wife Linda whom I care for because she has many health problems. So basically in her eyes he can do no wrong, so the narcissist can remain in my home because on my own I cannot evict him. He is trying at times to trip me up so that he can get me to talk to him. I still refuse to speak with him as I know he is looking for emotional fuel. All I do is keep on ignoring him. He has been living with us for over seven years and used to be Linda's ex-boyfriend, he is close to 62 years old. All I do is keep praying that one day God will remove him from my home.
Hi Patricia, hope your day is going well. He was Linda's ex-boyfriend and he called her because he was homeless and jobless and just needed some help to get back on his feet. He kept promising it was only temporary. Over the years Linda had said good things about him so I never thought he was an evil person. So I decided to agree with her and let him stay with us so he could get back on his feet. It was all lies. It took a very long time to find out who he was because he has excellent skills in deception and manipulation. He is the cerebral type narc, extremely covert, extremely malignant, His great strength lies in the fact that he had learned very well to be fake nice, fake caring, fake charming, fake humble. He is so good at being mr nice while very subtly, insidiously, cunningly, Craftily deceiving, manipulating and gaining control. Linda is totally deceived, that is why I cannot get rid of him. Linda has health issues, she needs constant help especially mentally.
Another accurate video ,thank you, I had to account for my every movement, who I was with, where I had been, what was said et cetera. meanwhile she had so many secrets, and absences. If I ever dared to mention or ask anything I was accused of being controlling and possessive. It was awful how she played with me.
The problems start when narcissists think they have a right for their view of others no matter how unrealistic it is, because this kind of people don´t care about quality. All they care about is their own rights of talking no matter how much bullshit it is. I guess narcissists are like gurus who prefer to think they know how things work and that toxic actions aren´t real.
Great Job... Because If U grow a piece of a brain or 1 drop of understanding about the lies & manipulations. U better except it, because if U challenge anything counter to this, you are as good as dead. (Real Talk)
Absolutely agree. This has been a red flag for me since a young age- hypocrisy. And def notice it as a consistent pattern in personality disordered individuals.
Disorder is not a disease ... psychiatrists categorized it and gave it a name to it , but don’t be mistaken..... most people think they are sick in their brain and I will say .... this is a sickness of the spirit .... witch means they know exactly what they say and do at all times ... they are great pretenders ... so they can get what they want even if they have to abuse another person !!!! Peace and Love to you .
Thank you for validating the nightmare of being trapped with a narcissist. The do as I say but don’t do as I do is a nightmare to endure. It is an insidious spirit destroying process that leaves you a shell of what you were pre the nar relationship. Get out before you succumb to the discard as the narc will move on to the next supply. Truly a vampire.
You are spot on.It frustrated the victim being subject to blatant double standards till one realises the truth about it.It takes a long time to come out of denial about this fact staring at you and coming from a vclose person.
Thank You For Sharing I Had A Month Of No Contact I Struggled With This Everyday I Was Recently Hovered..The Worse Thing I Ever Allowed. The Abuse Got Worse lIm Being Called Horrible Disrespectful Names I Won’t Bring Up. This Person Has Condition Me To Accept His Horrible Abuse. It’s Funny How There Allowed To Through Breadcrumbs And Be So Disrespectful But Ur Not Allowed To Do This 2 Them. Narcissistic Abuse Is So Degrading 😢
Remember one thing only ... YOU ARE GOOD and the other one is EVIL .... DO NOT FEEL GUILTY AT ALL ... respond with dignity and use a lots of why / how questions ... and if you see the other person react badly then they are manipulators .... again do not feel bad about it ... be unapologetic.... why should you not assert your needs ? You matter too !!
I have noticed that Clarice describes narcissists in a way that I can relate to. The reason being is that the way she talks about them in their worst light, is exactly how my sister is. She is always showing all of the worst characteristics one could imagine, plus she is so evil in her ways that she is impossible to get along with. She contradicts herself in the same sentence constantly. She literally stonewalls you on every sentence in every interaction with her and then proceeds to tell you what you are thinking and she is always wrong. She has all of the social and finacial issues that are characteristic of these types and she attempts to extort money from me to pay her personal bills that she flakes on. I need to go no contact but am unable to because of life's circumstances and she is using it to her own advantage as much as she can without a care about anything or anyone else. I am so trapped and full of angst I am about to explode.
I have a worker that always controlled and manipulate me. She was frustrated when I said no to her request. She backstabbing and continue telling lies to our co workers. I gave a lot of favor to her coz I though she's a friend and confidant. We're the only two that came from same culture or country so I can trust her but I'm only been used coz I'm senior than her and know the job even she works on same agency for the long time but I'm office senior than her. She just transferred to our office so more favor when it comes to vacation leave. She hated me since I blocks her tentative leave. Screaming in front of my coworker and customer N telling lies at my back. I’m a lot better now than before for stayed away from her. Now that I heard from u-tube about narcissism, I got a knowledge on how to protect myself against her tactics so IGNORED and overpowered her makes her more irritated 👌
When they are adult kids I stayed the hell away. I moved around like a sleek cat. Do as I say but not as I do so typical. Such an excellent spot on. Run you will not have a life. They become our evil. My kids believe his deceitful lies. Now they have been cheated out of my life and my grand kids. His triangle was very articulate took years. But everything he did he projected it as me. Get away. Hire a lawyer that knows how to deal with them. Yes STD off a toilet seat again not from him. Yes I went ice cold on him he drank himself silly. I ignored him. Worse then the past 50 years in his life. Thrown out of bars at 68 years old. I pray for all of you.
My bf like that...now im not talking to him..as in ignore..he is always right..toxic relationship..he is always telling me"open your mind..im good"..but my heart telling me he is lier
Clarice you are certainly one of the best in this subject. I'm thoroughly impressed as I listen to you clips although they have me relive my ordeal. At least you've given us tools to cope and step out of this toxicity
So exactly true..😖 my ex to a tee! ..and several of his relatives.. So difficult as a young wife and mother.. but I was finally able to face each of them without showing emotion.. then finally out of the marriage.. but with children and grandchildren not able to go completely no contact. However I get thru it better now. With my ex I couldn't run into anyone from my past for a brief conversation or he was doing covert punishment.. when all the while he had one of his lined up so quickly because it was already going on and he became open about it right after the divorce and remarried within 2 yrs. I have not remarried and waited 11 yrs before even thinking about dating.. and not with previous boyfriends.. nor contacted them in any way.
Fast and pray and break the soul tie through prayer. They harbor the spirit of Jezebel. It’s a high ranking demonic spirit that sets out to take your zest for life. Pray, fast and break the soul time. Also, stop thinking of the fantasy of them based on the love bombing stage. That was a manipulative tactic to ensnare you and to slowly begin the process of madness. You are out for your own healing of childhood wounds, self esteem and to help others.
Yes they expect your full agreement or commitment according to their preferred timing but not your preference of timing. It's insane and incredibly arrogant.... If they behave somewhat considerate it's bc they want to keep you in.... On a distance but still hooked in case they need you for energy and fun.
7:00 Great antidote to their "PROJECTION" strategy. Basically you say to grey rock or "remove yourself from the conversation." That's exactly what I've been doing too. Not that I'm trying to fight, but if they are on the sly trying to do that, THANKS to videos like these from you and, I am NOT TAKING THE BAIT and being DARVOed like I used to. (Though I have on rare occasion have unregretabbiley blown up, and would DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN, considering the exact circumstances...)
Excellent information and I believe you are a God send your work has helped me so much where I was blind now I see. PLEASE STAY ON YOUR PURPOSE these people are extremely dangerous. I got hurt so bad , but I walked away from her it took all the strength I had left in my body. I am back and better now. We love you Clarice.❤❤❤🌎🌎🌎🦅🦅🦅💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hi Im new to your channel I love your videos...!It has opened my eyes & helped bring so much awareness to npd & my knowing thank you sending blessings your way....🙏✨💛✨Love.&.Light..☕🤗🍃🌻🍃
When something is going on that hinders there routine and we all have routines,it will magnify and amp up striking words of I would say,very hateful or in a hateful tone that come out of nowhere. That is their way of covering up any true genuine participation that entails more of someone else's needs to be met. That is their way of saying I don't care now,not in the past or in the future about the situation nor the person or people involved. They show up to put everyone down in all levels of life's ups and downs. We all need to be considerate and a team and willing to sacrifice come what may. Together we stand divided we fall. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you
The narcissistic is very smart in twist the fact and information,they thought they always right and smart in misleading and make us keep questioning our sanity,I have to say they are like psychopath,thank you for all of your videos!
My recent ex narc. has all the qualities you described and thank you for your summary at the end because it covered something that I had not been able to put into words. This man stated on FB where they ask about one’s life philosophy... “The Golden Rule.” So when I saw that I was thrown into cognitive dissonance. But then I remembered- the poor dears have no imagination. And they are caught in the world of mediocrity. So he just put something that he thought was ok- non controversial. Also he offered a meme, that states “the man who talk about his money, status or qualities, are ‘con’ artists”. He is so, “non-transparent”, for him to throw the person reading it off, that was his secret. It’s a true con. Hide all facts. Cause your are gonna dump’m anyway!
It is written: Therefore, beloved, being warned of this, beware lest ye fall into the error of the wicked, and fall from your affirmation. 2Petrovo 3-17 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Matthew 7-15 "And I saw another angel fly in heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people. And he said with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour is come when he will judge; and worship the One who made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water. And another angel, a second, followed him, saying, The great Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that made all nations drink of the wine of her fornication. And another, a third angel, followed them, saying in a loud voice, If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he will drink of the wine of God's wrath, which is prepared pure in the cup of his wrath; and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone before the holy angels and before the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment shall be for ever and ever; and those who worship the beast and his image will have no rest day or night, or anyone who accepts the mark of his name. This requires the patience of the saints, those who keep God's commandments, and faith in Jesus ”(Rev. 14: 6-12). And yet, it is written: Fear God and repay Him Glory, for the hour of His judgment has come, and worship the One who made it heaven, earth, sea, and springs of water. ”- Revelation 14: 6, 7. It is written: John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. And he who rejects the gift of salvation is written: Revelation 14:10 He also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared pure in the cup of His wrath, and will be tormented with fire and brimstone before the holy angels and before the Lamb. And it is also written: For there is nothing secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad. Luke 8:17. This world is going away and if you want to be saved, give glory to your Creator, repent! And this is the golden verse of the Bible: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16. Ecclesiastes 12 - 13.14 Let us hear the end of the whole word: Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is all for man; 14 For every hidden thing, God will bring to justice every deed, whether good or evil. Luke 6:31- And as you desire men to do unto you, so do ye to them. God bless you!
My ex girlfriend is a narcissist... She would always try to control what I did how I talke I would always get accused of cheating & being a liar She always needed reassurance I would do everything to prove myself... till I couldn't anymore I finally walked away it's overwhelming & stressful No matter what I did for her it wasn't enough & the moment I started speaking up I was the bad one... I learned to love myself & know my worth I thank God I walked away
Craig .., you just have to get together with me and I will teach you all their secrets ! After that YOU will be victorious!!! God bless you ! I have noticed that half of America is full of this crappy people .
My ex narc wanted me to follow him around like a dog. Take on all His habits: get up at 5am every day, He hated it if I was happy doing my own art projects! Fake people, liars.
@@jamiejones273 The narc hated seeing me happy also as for art I did my own art my dad hated my art so he stole alot of my art I done on my own plus he hated I could play instruments . He also installed a spy app on my device .
My first time to visit this channel. Very interesting pod cast. Also, very true for Me. I've been on my healing journey sinse 2013. I'm recovering from, childhood trauma. I'm doing very well and marking great progress. I'm very proud of myself. Always interested in New input. And maybe I can be of help to someone else. I love reading others experiences and thoughts. But, Mary T., is a big time trigger for Me. Scares Me. Sounds just like my NM. I've been NO CONTACT for years. Totally triggered Me. I guess, my recovery is not as strong as I thought it was. Oh wellski. Thank you. Peace Sisters and Brothers
