One must protect themselves and loved ones from the narcissists who wish and do us harm, it doesn't matter if those Ns are family members. Your safety and the safety of your children are more important.<br /><br />Also, I think this would make a great novel! Is that something you can consider doing? It would make an excellent read. You certainly have the creativity and the talent to pull it off!MissEB47https://www.blogger.com/profile/03438615066265256434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333405565931840271.post-11814583496898964282016-08-16T03:34:42.685-07:002016-08-16T03:34:42.685-07:00This reminds me of a boat analogy my therapist use...This reminds me of a boat analogy my therapist used. She said I was trying to swim away from the boat of dysfunction and abuse and my parents kept trying to drag me back on. I used this image to try and explain to my NM why I was asking for some space from them to work on my issues. Her response was - 'don't flatter yourself, I wouldn't want you in the boat anyway'. Am now 4 years NC, and have often found parables and imagery helpful in moving forward and this one is extremely powerful.

Nope, I've protected them - thanks for the reminder!Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05692900216420723573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333405565931840271.post-53673697840457255122016-08-10T02:15:27.199-07:002016-08-10T02:15:27.199-07:00truth is achingly painful and this is no exception...truth is achingly painful and this is no exception. i can't think of how this could he more evocative, or accurate. the hardest chocies are those we must make. thank you Violet.jedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12169062120248589381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333405565931840271.post-50191976898659758732016-08-09T02:01:21.201-07:002016-08-09T02:01:21.201-07:00Yeah that's how it is with NPD.

When she was trying to steal the family inheritance I truly belive she would have had me killed if she though she would defo get away with it.<br />NPD mother attacked me in a fit of rage with a carving knife 'I HATE you so much I want to stab you through' she said. I was a timid, silent scapegoat/lost child of 11 years old. I didnt even want to live I was so tired and worn out with abuse. To outsiders? She was fine.<br />If you make the mistake of trying to tell anyone no one believes you, you are exaggerating/a liar/a fantasist/ ungrateful. Because all mothers are 'saints' Right?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333405565931840271.post-53738043980741568732016-08-08T19:10:48.967-07:002016-08-08T19:10:48.967-07:00There is so much I identify with in your blog.

I have learned through many years and many tears that my life is far more peaceful without her in it.

The only thing that nags me is what comes after death. Will these bastards be waiting there for me?
