I Am Grateful

I am grateful God placed you in the world years ago on this day.

I am also grateful to be sharing this world with you.

May you have a peaceful and happy day spent with your children, who love you dearly and to whom you are a wonderful mother, having risen above the legacy of your own childhood.

You and your children are lucky to have one another and the world is lucky to have you. Particularly those of us around here.

Don't underestimate the nationwide and worldwide impact from your time spent on this board, shedding light and giving a deeper understanding of Narcissistic Personality Disorder and all related issues.

I feel you are a true hero, birthday girl!

God bless you and your family and enjoy your special day, and every day. All the best, Forever Learning

A year ago - one of my kids wrote this for me - I really wanted to share it; especially with all of your who are working so hard (like me) to parent the children you had with a pathological. Fighting for them can be exhausting - but it is never in vain.

16 Reasons Why I Love You, Mom

1. When I'm down, you help me up
2. You are a good listener
3. You love me back
4. You teach me how to be a better person
5. You help me when I have problems
6. You laugh at my corny jokes
7. You are a good friend
8. You care about me
9. I can share secrets with you
10. You buy me stuff! (just kidding...)
11. You try not to embarrass me in public
12. You encourage me to be nice
13. Whenever we can, we have time together
14. You taught me not to judge a book by its cover
15. You make sure that there is food on my plate and clothes in my closet
16. You were the one that brought me into this world.

It's been a wonderful day and all of your kind words brought tears to my eyes.

Thank you.

that makes it all worth it

what a treasure to have !! Your children are so lucky to have you and so are we !! and so are our children!!!!

The top 7 ways Barbara has shaped my life in just a brief time

1) she has taught me to live in reality and accept what is
2) how to stand up for myself and how to protect myself and my child
3) what is really important and why it is important
4) how not to quite or give up when I am at my wits end
5) that I am sane -- which has helped to remind me that I am kind, generous, loving and funny
6) that I am not alone on this really hard journey
7) she has inspired me to be good to myself

I know I am just a woman on the internet and don't come close to the thoughts of your children as they are everything to you and they will always be there with you, but don't underestimate what you do outside of your home and your family -- it is just as powerful. You are saving us and our children and hopefully setting us up to get letters like that when they, too, are old enough if they are not already old enough.

I am going to print that letter and look to it in the hopes that one day my little Sophie will feel similarly -- then I know it was all worth it.

Happy day after!

I hope your birthday was wonderful!

I'm new here, Barbara ... I can't thank you enough for the things you share here with us.

I just recently realized I've been involved with a N, and also that my parent is one. This is all so shocking to learn, abit hard to accept. Sometimes, I find myself wanting to slip back into denial (to relieve the emotional pain), but then I come back here and manage to stumble onto something else I need to read ... often in your posts ... that snaps me back into reality again.

I want free of the denial, free of the fantasy thinking that somehow one day these persons will be "okay". I realize now, they will not ever be.

But I am not a young women (middle aged), and I have been trying nearly all my lifetime to figure out this situation with my mother. There's always been so much pain between us that I did not understand, no matter how hard I tried to make things right between us. It has taken my getting romantically involved with a very obvious N to see the same patterns in my mother, and to begin to understand why I've been such an easy "narc target" all my life.

Since this thread has been about "celebrating" your life, I thought I would add my thanks to it, express my appreciation for what you do here. It's helping persons like me.

May lots of love, joy, and peace be yours in the coming year!
