To everyone...

I am so saddened and burdened every single day, to see so many suffering so deeply because of the havoc that the disordered one wreaked in everyone's lives. Such heartbreak with the stories. Some have brought me to tears. the ruminating and constant pain is something I so related too.....

I feel you all so much. I realize I can be harsh. I don't mean to be. Sometimes my forthright verbiage could easily be misconstrued as uncaring, but that is the furthest from the truth. I care so much, that I feel frustrated at times wanting you all to heal and find the way. It's very interesting, having moderated before (no not here) and seeing so much pain and knowing some will get it, eventually, but so many others will not, UGH!

I've been where you are. Seen what you have seen. we have all been in the same boat. Anyone seen the titanic? Some drowned, others were saved.......we are all on that same small life boat........we're the lucky ones, but with all the pain, it doesn't feel that way sometimes........I know.

I care very much for all of you. I may never meet you in person, or even know your real name, but your pain is as areal as mine and you don't have to know someone personally to understand it....

I care very much. I apologize if I sometimes seem harsh.

Just know that I deeply care, keep everyone here in my prayers and hope that at least most of you, will find freedom and healing from these predatory, useless bastards who wanted to destroy and steal the beautiful souls who are here everyday.

You can get through this. You can do this. You will survive.
HUGS!!!!!!

Sunafterrain, beautiful post!

Your wisdom has often been just what I needed in my recovery. Early on, when I had so many doubts and was tempted to break n/c, you were there with advice. I get you, I think. It's been an emotional week here, but I'd be glad to be in a small life boat with you anyday of the week. The thing about small boats is they can be easily tipped to the detriment of everyone on board. You're just looking to ensure that doesn't happen. Some people in the water don't always take the life preserver you throw out. Sad, but it happens. Yet, when they're splashing about merrily and saying the water is fine, when we KNOW it isn't, is disconcerting. Maybe they don't do it intentionally, but still. If we've been cramped on the boat, the weather is hot, the water is cool, it begins to look tempting. What's even worse, is when they happily get into N's inflatable raft with a jet engine. N is all too happy, waving and smiling over. We sit in our wooden life boat, holding our oars (bc hey, this is teamwork) in disbelief. We know that as soon as N gets that raft out of sight, he'll take his knife out and pop it. It's sad. You're a caring woman, Sun! Thank you. Be blessed and hugs.

Gorgeous Post!

I read nearly everything on this forum, and I never once found you harsh, just very straight and down to earth, very refreshing after being tangled up in "Narcspeak" for 2 years. Stay exactly the way you are, Sunafter! God bless. Tigerlily

HUGS dear Sun. very beautiful

HUGS dear Sun. very beautiful post from you. You are so right...we are the lucky ones who discovered the Truth..and luckier still to have met each other at this forum. Yes, we must all heal. Long journey, but I am praying for each and every sister and brother here and in the whole world. I believe our collective prayers may just save many lives. Prayer is a electrical thought wave with positive charge.

Harsh you are not.

I have heard, lived and breathed harsh. I for one appreciate your words - and you. I am here because I need help from people who understand what I am going through. Part of that is hearing the *harsh* reality of it all. None of this is easy for any of us and discomfort while learning the truth is necessary. Painful, yes, but I am tired of living in a fantasy world and wasting my valuable time on someone who cannot reciprocate. My thoughts are jumbled today, but know that I value your opinion.

Sunafterrain, I think I sound harsh sometimes too!!!!

Hi Sun!!!!!! Gosh, I re-read what I wrote sometimes and I think "Gosh Layla, you don't have to be a bossy know-it-all"...hahaha! You know what? I am just passionate about pulling anyone out of the hole they feel stuck in, that's all! I had been so beaten down by my abuser, and finally took my own strength and got myself out, and I AM KEEPING MYSELF out of it forever and if I can keep ONE person safe for one day longer, or better yet, FOREVER, then I will be one happy lady! SOME good can come from my pain, I truly believe God takes ugliness and evil, and can extract beauty and love from it....and I will be a humble instrument to help do that! I also would like to say that all of us here who have experienced the personality disordered ones TRULY understands in a way NO ONE else truly does.....the major abuses, the subtle abuses, the mind games, the endless emotional rollercoaster, we GET IT....and most members here understand they will get MANY styles of support, we NEED THAT! That is part of what makes the support effective....sometimes, when 10 different people, with entirely different personalities are advising the exact same thing, well, that commands attention! : ) No worries on your delivery, you come off as the older sister who has broken up with her first crappy boyfriend and knows her shit...hahaha.I'm 41 years old, I probably do too! love~ Layla PS- no, I am not re-enacting the "flying" scene from Titanic with you, so don't ask....hahaha!

Layla

You are right on with this - there are so many AHA moments on this forum. I never know who or within what context someone will say something and it will stop me cold. Yes, that's it. Yes, I understand now. Yes, I feel her strength. Yes, her truth is my truth. Thank you, too, for being here.
