It's a surefire sign that you're speakin some truth. Lovely point about your son, brought a smile to my face. <br /><br />And yes, I think it makes a difference.insihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15138938163815255743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679637238769603836.post-57164206261735566942012-10-03T12:08:24.858-07:002012-10-03T12:08:24.858-07:00I revel in seein' the "young 'ens&quo...I revel in seein' the "young 'ens" posting, Blogging and telling their truth. I absolutely LOVE it! Do I think Bloggers are making inroads? Instinctively, yes just by the proliferation of younger people using technology to make changes in their lives sooner rather than later, their fearlessness in telling their truths, (good/bad/ugly), their challenges in freeing themselves (it ain't easy, that's for sure) and the rigorous honesty necessary to allow those scales (and not the one's they're weighing themselves on) to fall from their NP FOG-induced vision. Yeah, OUCH, but oh-so-worth-it and the benefits are not gonna be fully manifest for awhile: Time and Distance are essential IMO before you start reaping the rewards of divesting yourself of NPs, NSO's etc.<br />I read and follow their journeys, their ups/downs/all-the-way-around the Narc trees and it does my heart more good than any of these silly drugs from Big Pharma (for which I'll pass, thanks) and yep, they're gettin' it, they're doin' what they need to do a whole lot sooner than we did.<br />Just tell it like it is, Gladys: As I told Elena (another Blogger) recently your Blog is for YOU and anyone who cares to read it. Anything less than your truth is disingenuous minimally and denies your-and our-experiences, our basic humanity. Which is exactly what the NPs tried to extinguish from the moment the sperm torpedoed the egg.<br />TW (No Blog: I rent space from a few understanding Bloggers. They know about the brain damage and other "challenges" subsequent to the strokes.)

I only wish I had found all this stuff sooner, but most of the blogs I've been reading have only been up for a couple of years at the most. It seems that someone started to tell the truth (I think Anna was one of the first) and inspired the rest of us to speak up too. So yes, let's all speak up.Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14470007362954479373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679637238769603836.post-984841401885905682012-10-03T08:27:32.217-07:002012-10-03T08:27:32.217-07:00Gladys, I regret not having kids, but I fear I wou...Gladys, I regret not having kids, but I fear I would have been one of those mothers who crossed all kinds of boundaries and wanted to keep my kid(s)home forever. Too over-protective. I'm so impressed you consciously resisted the urge! Now, as I wander out to pasture, I am good n ready, but my body and bank account don't agree!<br />Exposing our effen n's, even here in the afterlife, can only be helpful, to the newbies, to ourselves and each other. Unfortunately, I think narcissism is more rampant than ever.

They just don't know it. And they never will. <br />There is nothing my mother would have wanted that I wouldn't have freely provided. But that's not good enough.<br />She has to turn everything into a game and I don't have time for that shit.

You leave, and the brain tricks you into thinking it wasn't ALL bad. Like childbirth - women do it TWICE? It's also true that the hunter adapts its strategy as the prey also adapts. But the best news we have discovered is that they are all the same. They don't even know they are following a script, and now we have a copy of it. Or is it the Rosetta Stone. We are sneaky, us Ungrateful Little Bastards.Gladyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03379796403577898107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679637238769603836.post-57747704570653558822012-10-03T06:58:23.899-07:002012-10-03T06:58:23.899-07:00I hope we aren't all deluding ourselves. Peopl...I hope we aren't all deluding ourselves. People are loath to call a narc a narc even as they become the main course. And the disordered are highly adaptive and will develop a lighter touch and a less sticky web.<br />Until the moment of truth and the uninitiated find themselves hanging on a limb.<br />I think we have to keep speaking out and hope that people will at least see them for what they are SOONER.<br />The thing that saved me in the beginning was the thing that disarmed me later.<br />And that would be me leaving her locus of control at 15 and spending the next 35 years with minimal exposure. <br />Before I hi jack this thread I will say this.<br />Things can't get any worse. <br />For us and for those that come behind us.
