Voicelessness and Emotional Survival > Voicelessness and Emotional Survival Message Board
Narcissistic Personality Disorder may be included in DSM-5
OnlyMe:
Yes, "Voiceless" indeed.
And I hand you the biggest Purple Heart Medal, with thanks, Dr. G.
Having my doctor Recognize and Identify NPD in my parents, and giving it a name, was a life-changing moment for me.
I keep coming back to this board, for the reassurance that indeed, it is NP who created tremendous Chaos and all the pain that goes with it ... and that I am not the 'crazy one'. As an "only" child with no other family, I had very few terms of reference for "normal" family relationships, unfortunately.
Yes, Dr. G, "Voiceless" it is.
In fact, as I think back, it was by entering "voiceless" in a search engine years ago, that I found you, and all these other wonderful souls. You each have been, and still remain, part of a Lifeline for me.
Thank you, All.
Guest:
Well said OM.

Hi OnlyMe,
I hope I don't offend nor reveal myself as a sadist or reveler in schadenfreude but, re your tagline, Romans 12:19 says;
"Vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord."
I hope it doesn't make me a chump to say the center phrase of that verse gives me a certain uncomfortable pleasure.

OnlyMe:
Hello Mudpuppy,
I had forgotten I had that as part of my signature. Haven't been here in a while.
Truth is, I was repeating the Late Indian Larry's neck tattoo (which was inked in reverse so he could read it in his rear-view mirror while riding his custom motorcycles).
It seemed to resonate with me and brought me a bit of comfort, at a time when I was feeling completely helpless against the ongoing abuse ... so I bought the tshirt!
Time has passed, and I am now neither voiceless nor invisible.
Maybe time for a new tagline.
Thank you for noticing.
In a lovely way, once again, this wonderful message board is a reminder that I am not the only one on earth in this situation. What a blessing in itself. Thank You, All.

Well since Indian Larry is now late I guess it's safe to say objects in his mirror were closer than they appeared. :)
