Hey everybody.
Hope that you are going ok, and even better than that, that you are getting healed and further and further away from those disgusting narcs.
Guys, I had to get out my frustrations and I thought you might relate or understand.
I am a bit surprised at myself today I have a huge huge rage inside and I don't know what to do. I am not usually an angry person, I am patient and take a lot of crap usually.
I have been NC since August with the ex and after a few stalking incidents and some intervention by higher authorities he has finally left me alone. I am getting counselling and doing all to heal and it has come along pretty well, all things considered. I feel like a weight got lifted from my shoulders.
I came to realise a lot about other people in my life, there are a lot of narcs in there I think. But thank God some true friends as well. I had a best friend who abandoned me when I was going through the worst and it really hurt. I was really generous with her, she still has a lot of things that she borrowed. I feel really used. I am still in contact with her but every time there is contact I feel so so angry!! And this is only via text and a couple of phonecalls! I am ashamed at my bitchy reactions inside I don't like it at all. And why towards this particular friend and not the narc himself?
Oh no, I sound like a narc! I don't think I ever got this mad at the ex, just scared and traumatised. I am one angry woman! I am scared of this anger inside. It's really nasty.
Is this a sign to stay away from the friend? Is it NC for her as well? Maybe finally I am listening to my gut that is screaming out to me, this person is no good? I feel a huge sense of injustice about how I was treated by this friend but I have to move on and not get bitter. I have decided not to discuss this with her as I see no point and may lead to further hurt from her.
Did anyone have that happen to them? Or can someone say something that might calm me down?
I feel like a nutter. Help!

I cut them off! I dont need that sh*t from anyone anymore. It was time to throw out the garbage and only keep what was good in my life.
Kick this friend to the curb. She is no friend.
Rage inside
November 3, 2009 - 6:33am — EllenHi,
All i can say is me too at the moment. I have had NC since about August ish and i am getting angry after a solicitors letter yesterday (see other post).
For me it has been hard to get angry with my ex cos i always thought he had my best interests at heart and i thought he was a nice man. I am having to face some horrid truths now. Also for me it relates back to my mum getting angry with the rest of the world and not my dad or her own dad where the responsibiltiy lies for her initial anger. She showed me how to pick a nasty man and make him nice and never get angry with them. In fact i don't think i've ever seen her outright angry with him at all............just comments and sighs etc. Maybe this is why you find it hard to be angry at him or maybe it will take more time.
As for your friend, i have also been angry at friends who have really hurt me. If someone really hurts me badly or i realise that they don't really care about my well being then i will leave the friendship. Once i was isolating myself cos there was noone left, it felt bad but i did have a big clear out. Now i have good friends of all ages, some even my sons age but are actually more mature than the older people i know. If you are angry at this person make her an ex friend or decide that if she is worth it then talk to her about it. Ease out gently maybe, i'm not suggesting a D&D lol but then again if thats what it takes cos she is no good then so be it for your own sake. Listen to your gut.
I am going around raving about my ex at the moment in disbelief that he has joined the list of people who have hurt me, i never thought he would be on it.
Happy raging!

Time to ask your 'friend' for your things back...
Great job working on YOU!
