Continued healing
Gaining Strength:
So today my SIL is planning to do things to help my nephew, get his truck fixed, go to job fair so he can qualify for food stamps, buy food, pay his back rent. She didn't want to go to get breakfast in case he called saying he was ready. He called at 11:30. We got there at 11:45. She panics that he will say again that she didn't warn him she was coming.
See anything crazy here?
Day three of this. Stressful but I'm holding.

I am remembering that in the past, in a similar situation I would be stewing, nursing resentment, making this worse as I seethed with anger. I can almost feel that but what a relief to be free of that and yet see where I have been all at the same time.
Hopalong:
What an extraordinary situation you are posting "from", GS!
And yet you have the stamina to observe without enmeshing in it.
BRAVO to you.
And also thank you for the Medium story. Joe is astonishing,
and I can imagine how it felt to you to read what he wrote
about shame.
love, and safe home,
Hops

GS:
Glad you're holding your own in the midst of all that crazy.
What an amazing journey you're on.
I'm happy you're sharing it with us: )
Thank you,
Lighter

From a Hubpage post. It always helps me keep my perspective to read another's view. This helps remind me why no one helped me and why no one believed me.
THE NARCISSISTIC PARENT
Young children of a parent who has Narcissistic Personality Disorder are genuine victims of their parent and the disorder, as much as any child who lives through life with an addicted parent, or a parent guilty of physical or sexual abuse. The narcissistic parent abuses in an intensely subtle and devious fashion: they are guilty of severe emotional and mental abuse, and no one outside of the family would ever suspect anything wrong.. These child victims quite often go unnoticed, untreated, and not helped by other adults outside of the immediate family. This is due to the nature of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD).
