I get emails every day from people who are stuck in an obsessive cycle of feeling worthless, unattractive, and “no good”.  This happens because their Ex-Narc conditioned them to believe these things and then left them for another partner, which only enforced this false illusion.

    This was such a good post, have you seen her blog? It’s informative and interesting. I’m going to be checking out more of her posts today on her blog and maybe reblog a few if they hit me like this one did. A very talented writer on the rise and most deserved!

      • LOL! Phill, I have to pass on the treats! He’s overweight since his surgery last year. No more treats and we are now on a diet! But wieners are all about warmth and he gets lots and lots of that (plus he ‘steals’ my heating paid-hehe), and tons and tons of love Thank you for thinking of him.

        He means so much to me. XXOO!

        I can give him rawhide bones with beef flavor. He loves those and they’re good for his teeth and his anxiety AND it keeps him from being hungry so much, although lately he’s not much up to eating a lot 😦

        Have a very peaceful day, my friend. And please keep us up to date about where things stand for you.
