I know that financially he wants anything and everything he can get, but now it's about destroying me also. He has so much hatred stored up towards so many people and it all seems to be directed at me. He has accused me of something and it looks like it may fly. I did something I shouldn't have to help him and he covered himself well. MY STUPIDITY!! I will make no excuses and deserve whatever I get, but he will walk away looking like the victim. Again my stupidity. My shame, degradation, and loss of character only seems to empower him. Thanks for all the encouragement and I will try to keep you updated if possible.

Dear Alone,

I just want to encourage you to stand fast in the confidence that the whole truth will be revealed.

Your shame, degradation, and loss of character - if they really exist - are transient, temporary, fleeting, isolated in a moment of NPD-trickery which can't remain hidden.

I know, they seem to gain momentum when N launches his mission to gobble up every speck of truth in sight, but you can hold on and not lose ground. I know you can.
It's all a delusion.
As you simply own what's yours and allow his crud to lie and stink at his feet, it will all settle out.

Love to you,
Carolyn

It sounds like you compromised yourself, in order to do your N a favor, some time back?

And now he's using it against you?

Now your only defense is the unlikely truth.... and he's spreading lies and confusion so quickly, there's never going to be any clarity.

I'm so sorry this unfair attack has been launched.... even sorrier you have to accept and live with it, beyond weathering the storm and presenting the facts with as much dignity and honor you can muster.  That's all you can do.

He doesn't have any dignity. 

Nor honor. ::shaking head::

Those are two things he can't take from you....

though it may feel he's stripping you to the bone.

He can't do that.... unless you let him.

Please, be calm and take refuge in the fact that you're a decent human being... you can look yourself in the mirror,  and know that you'll live as an honorable being.

You won't grow old and die with the self hating knowledge you were a  manipulative, predatory, hateful.... mean little spirited person. 

That's his burden to bear, when it catches him. 

You?

 Go out and enjoy the weather, reading, your work, your friends.... but please enjoy the blessings you have today.

One day at a time. 

He can't take that from you either.... if you don't let him.

Thank you all so much for the encouragement. I cannot share with others that do no understand, Right now I don't feel like a good human being and think maybe I'm worse than him that I allowed things to be what they were. Right now I just don't like myself and think I deserve whatever.

Dear Alone
 We are so hard on ourselves. I could say things like "You are a good person",but I know that many people have said things like that to me, but *I* don't feel it.
 I wish that you discover your beauty, warmth  and humanity. We all make mistakes ,based on our human flaws. I am starting to  let myself be a little human, not hate myself b/c I fall from perfection.
 I know that what you did fell in to the category of human, Alone. I am sorry you are hurting. My heart goes out to you.  Love   Ami

Well.... I think you need to examine those thoughts.

You were taken in by someone who misrepresented himself to you.

If anyone else makes you feel bad about that....

they haven't taken off their shoes and put yours on.

It's hard for other people not to blame the victim, bc it's easier to blame the victim.

Please understand...... they don't "get it."

They might have been taken in themselves.... had they been in the wrong place at the wrong time.

It's not your fault and he wouldn't have been able to take advantage and manipulate you the way he did..... if you weren't a kind giving person.

That's what they do.  

No.... that's what they are.

It's not personal.

You were just a nice person who got in his way.

You'll build your boundaries up..... you won't let this happen to you again.

You might share your journey and help those that come after......

it'll be OK.

Forgive yourself, alone.

Whatever it is you did...... you did it bc you were asked to.

Because you cared about him.

You know what's in your heart and so does God.

Release the guilt and stop beating yourself up.

Get down to business.

Legal business and building your boundaries, strong and true.

This is going to painful and long but...... you'll grow through it.

Know.... it'll be OK.

It will.

We've walked in your shoes and we don't doubt how badly you've been manipulated and unfairly used.

It's outragouse that they have no conscience but.....

they'll never experience life with any joy.

It'll always be about winning and taking advantage of people.

His winning depends on pretending all the time, every moment of every day......

but you can find serenity and comfort in your own skin.

Priceless.

Begin. 

You don't lose if you find a way to overcome.


He won't ever have that opportunity, unfortunately for him.

Poor N.

Dear (((( Alone ))))

First and foremost, please forgive yourself.

Then proceed forward with the peace that will bring to you.

I admire your honesty and courage to walk through and deal with, this endurance, which is only for a season.

Love,
