Thank you, Laura.  I am feeling pretty low this week.  I really appreciate your confidence in me.  One foot in front of the other for now, until I can fly again!!!

No. RM, say it ain't so.
(I think it ain't so...but I'm sure the training's begun.)

I understand your story much better now. It's amazing how when people repeat things new and helpful detail emerges. Hope it's that way for you too.

Being shunned like that for a long period while you were right there in the house,
how painful.

Certain Hope:
Dear H&H,

  Thank you for sharing this refresher in N-traits/behavior. I stumbled across some old photos last night... wedding photos, with N-ex... and selective memory threatened to lock in on the grief, loss, and regret. It really helped this morning to review the list of impossible characteristics and remember the rest of the story. By the way, the only one on the list that wasn't a major feature of his m.o. is the sense of time urgency ~ impatience. Maybe his laziness over-ruled that one.

Hugs,
Hope

Exactly. To step outside of "appropriate" behavior meant one ceased to exist, and had to be pressed back into line immediately.

I need help.  I am a 50 year old adult daughter of a N.  I am a Christian.  My Mother is sucking the life out of me.
Help me with a solid Christian response to a N who detests me!
