As we all know or are learning.....going no contact means to basically erase them from our life....blocking phone numbers, blocking emails, blocking fb.....blocking every connection to him and his family/friends!!! Then throwing out pictures and items that can remind us and bring us pain....REMEMBER....no contact is to prevent us from pain!!!
I thought I had it all covered.
Well today, I was switching pocketbooks and inside the one I was switching to I found food shopping lists with his writing, the menu to his surprise party I threw him and some other things that reminded me of THE GOOD TIMES...THE MASKED MAN!!!!! So of course I threw it all out....had a moment that lasted very briefly and now Im over it....
But it made me think of all of you!!!! I NEVER thought to GO THREW MY POCKETBOOKS AND EMPTY ALL THE CONTENTS INSIDE!!!!!!!
DO IT NOW!!!! Youll be glad you did and will avoid an unpleasant surprise in the future!!
Keep moving!!!! Happy Wednesday!!!

Let him spend more of his stolen money on stuff for her. I might even be able to buy a plane ticket for a nice getaway with the proceeds! Good thing he had good taste in jewelry!
F him.

Going forward .. Life is about creating memories .. Up and downs., my pockets need to be checked everyday.,
When a mask slips the pockets continue get emptied..
As you said its not just the narc that got us to the forum but the narcs we encounter in our daily lives as well.., it's best to keep our pockets tidy .,
Knowledge is power ..

May 30, 2012 - 8:07am — WalkingonsunshineHehe I even threw out articles of clothing that reminded me of him. pj's that I wore at his house. I still have one thing hard to let go off. A heart necklace. It will be gone soon though.
Good point JM. I think it is
May 30, 2012 - 8:48pm — Janie53Good point JM. I think it is great to be as proactive as we possibly can and to get rid of as much as much as possible that reminds us of them. At the same time, I think depending on how long one was with their N, or if one was married, it may be impossible to completely rid yourself of everything having to do with them. It is equally as important to reach an understanding of the disorder, accepting we can't change them, what brought us on this path and finally getting to the blissful home of indifference. Then when we do run across a reminder, we can toss it away as if it was just an receipt, we no longer need. No thought involved at all.
Keep staying true as I know you do!
Love Janie
