Hi OAD --

I realized I was a DoNM about six months ago, when I read the "will I ever be good enough" book. I've been processing/dealing ever since...

I just wanted to say, thanks for writing the bit about, "I do miss them. I do not miss the emotional roller coaster they take me on."

I went NC about two months ago, and I have weathered my brother telling me to just call her, and I have weathered all the guilt feelings... but now I miss her.

So, thank you for writing that.

@Mulderfan - Thank you for the kind words. Just b...

@Mulderfan - Thank you for the kind words. Just being able to get my thoughts and feelings out there had helped so much. Making connections with the people who started reading my blog made it even that much more rewarding. I wish you success with your blog! Just know that your bravery in speaking about your experience my very well help another!

@LMS - thanks! You always hear that becoming a mother will change your life. Holy cow, that is an understatement :)

@Maeve - thank you! I am so grateful for the time that has passed and the perspective it has given me.

I've just discovered your blog and can appreciate your feelings and experiences. You might feel a connection to the little girl I write about in my post, Vulnerabilities That Make Us Easy Targets for Narcissists. I also write anonymously to protect my family's identity, as well as harm from my Narcissist... just in case he goes over the edge. I'm at thenarcichronicles.blogspot.com, if you should ever care to visit. Best wishes to you in your continued journey.

Happy Anniversary!

That is a huge milestone and it's so great that you can look back over that year and see how far you've come.

What a beautiful post. Thankyou K. xoxo
My son is also my super hero. He is also what was made me remember what is important and remind me the standards I hold important. I have over time, realised how my own parents did not have these for me, so I'm creating my own - for myself, and for my son and son to be.

That IS amazing you found such a wonderful therapist.

And you're right OAD - who knows what the year will bring :)

I just turned 64 and your blog changed my life. While doing some research and realizing I was dealing with narcissistic parents (they're a tag team) I stumbled across your blog. I now call January 10th my Independence Day. That is the day I called and made a simple request...to be treated with respect. Their response was right out of a textbook and they are no longer talking to me. Even though, for the first time in my life they didn't call on my birthday a week later, I can't stop smiling and I'm happy and relaxed.

To sort of cleanse myself I started my own blog to recount some of the things I have endured. (under the name Mulderfan). I'm hoping to pass on what you have shown me.

I can't thank you enough for inspiring me to liberate MYSELF and give up on the fantasy that they will ever change.
