Yep – Sunblue, arrogance. The reality distortions used to drive me crazy also.
(((Changing – you brought a smile to my heart – thank you!!)))
CB/Hops,
I saw the same as my father was dying. It was pretty clear he was a tortured soul. Hops you said:
I really believe that's the core of N's troubles. And they do suffer.
But their victims must take care of themselves, because that suffering
is not the same as pangs of conscience.
Yes – this is where I got caught as an adult, and still do at times. Because I felt for them and what they must have suffered to become what they were, I permitted them to continue to harm me. (I say as an adult because as a child I had no control, well, the only control I had was to escape internally.)
((((Everyone))))
Peace
