Pearl430 you made me laugh, thanks!

I'm digging number 9. his hairy gross back

You need to take the "mean I know" comment off because it sounds like this guy deserves it!

I love your list of the things you do like btw. We all need to focus more on us and less on the narcs like Janie53 says. :)

Yes yes yes!

your list is almost exactly like mine! When I read what you wrote about "being able to get a good night's rest without being disturbed" it really hit a nerve!
It took me quite a while - months, actually...to be able to even accept that one. To accept my newfound PEACE.
But wow, when I did, it was sweet.
It is going to be the same for you.
Just look at your other lists and remind yourself not only would you be giving up your "things I like" but going right back into the chaotic drama and insecurity where you now finally have peace!
Keep up the good work sister!
xx, Rose

Wow! It's amazing how similar

Wow! It's amazing how similar they all are! I liked your lists. The first list reminded me just how controlling and insecure my NH was. The second list demonstrates how they hijack our lives and we find our actions are no longer from cognitive reasoning but lame attempts at momentary peace. Your final list I rejoice with you in. I too recently left and find the personal freedom intoxicating! I hope all goes well with you and that he finds new distractions and leaves you alone. Cheers to your new life and peace and harmony for you and your daughters!
