I just wanted to say....

Move day, with all the furniture, is June 30th.  Next Saturday.

Tweaked my budget again last night, cringed a little, don't really care.  I still have a little money at the end of the month for "play."  As long as we don't do too many expensive things we'll be fine.

I wish we had a women's center here.

Hops, Lighter,

I just looked at the list of training seminars my employer offers, and there's one on assertiveness.  I'll have to ask my boss if I'm eligible to go.  It's during work hours, and best of all my employer would pay for it.

it's a good support group isn't it!

A lot of survivors....

Glad you are here lighter.

[tayana]

Write, yes it is.

Tayana, that's amazing!
Hope you get to take the workshop.

It may be oriented toward working relationships, but the concepts would be the same.

How amazing.

Hops,

Sent my boss and email asking about it.  Haven't heard yet.  Hopefully though.

Some of the colleges offer things too, but they cost $.

LIGHTER-  It is true isnt it?  I get more real advice here than I got at the latest T.  He did not understand N but we all do and that moral support by someone who has lived in your shoes is invaluable!  Thanks to you all!

>>>I had to giggle on this one, because, today, my T gave me some EXCELLENT INFO entitled "The Narcissist and His Family."  I knew it sounded familiar but couldn't quite remember where I'd heard about it before.

Finally, as I took the paper in my hand, I read the name of the author of the script...guess who??? SAMMMMMMMMMMMMMM VAKNIN!  LOL

So, we on this board, knew about ol Sammy V before my T was aware of other people knowing him.

Go figure!

Tayana:  <Crossing fingers> on free training at work.

Write:  I'm so glad I'm here too.

Tay:  The very first book I read was If you had controlling parents.  I did a google search on controlling parents and it was the first one that popped up.  That was when my journey started-BEFORE I understood or had heard the word N.

A good read - the first one to open my eyes and led me to the Narcissistic diagnosis

[tayana]

It's a very good book.  Very enlightening. I highly recommend it.
