Unlike Tvs they don't have an off button! I find that loading a blog seems to draw my family out. As soon as I start loading and linking, someone will mysteriously want something, just as I'm trying to concentrate. I can write through anything though, even a cyclone! Some Responses to Honesty - Blog Entry02 May 2008 12:36 AM I think white lies have their place for the little things in life, they help society run smoothly, but the truth is usually best for the bigger things. I say "usually" because each case is different. I've seen a lot of emotional illness due to lies, self-lies, false beliefs and and denial so I am pretty big on facing the truth!

Don't Give Your Children Everything - Blog Entry01 May 2008 04:36 PM Thanks Courtney, it is a shame to see lovely children ruined by "love". It is such a disservice to the child and actually makes their life harder instead of easier in the long run. Parenting God's Way - part 2 - Blog Entry01 May 2008 04:31 PM Hi Dale, parenting is THE hardest task. And most important. Great blog! Narcissism-Symptoms and Treatment (1) - Blog Entry01 May 2008 04:23 PM Hi ycul321, has your counselor suggested couples counseling for you and your husband? While I agree that you must look out for yourself, it is important for your own wellbeing to feel that you have sought third party help before ending the marriage. If your husband has NPD, then there would be considerable, if not unbearable strain on the marriage. However, you would require a professional diagnosis for that. If he does not have NPD, seeking couples counseling could be the wake-up call he needs. Good luck, Beth Dealing with a Narcissistic Mother - Blog Entry30 Apr 2008 03:33 PM Hi Small Changes, you are right in saying there is no manual to teach you how to deal with having had a narcissistic mother. Unfortunately , there are no manuals for many things in life! Having successfully escaped physically from your mother, you will now have to go through the "whys?" and the grieving that naturally follows. There are logical explanations for NPD and it is possible to logically understand why your mother is the way she is. However, as you are experiencing, it is harder to accept this in your heart. The brain knowledge comes first, and is the first step to acceptance and freedom.

Narcissists certainly provoke a raft of emotions in their children, from guilt to rage to grief. There is untold hurt and confusion but once you start to see that it is them who have the problem and there is no changing them, then you are well on the path to escape. Enjoy your new-found freedom! Stimulant Drugs: How Much Do You Know? - Blog Entry25 Apr 2008 07:28 PM It is also possible to become addicted to tea - another stimulant. Some addicts drink up to 20 cups of tea a day but are able to maintain a semblance of normality because tea is not generally seen as a harmful drug. Nor is coffee, but addiction and withdrawal symptoms are common to both. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 |
