He sent a happy thanksgiving email...and I'm still NC. ;+)

Blessings and best wishes to you all this Thanksgiving day!

Just a quick note. He sent me an email...under his 'alias.' lol (for those who remember recently, he emailed me about his ailing mother, and used an email I had never seen before) I never replied.

Today...it read...''Happy Thanksgiving, Dee. I miss you. I really do.''

Closure came for me, everyone. I want to cry. In a good way, not a bad way. Not sure if a) he does miss me b) he is hoovering or c) just fucking with me. Could be all three, when it comes to a narc.

But, I did not reply. I can't lie. I was tempted. But, didn't. I don't ever want to get back on the roller coaster. Something as simple as 'I miss you,' or 'Happy whatever...' can lead to so much chaos.

Nope. Staying NC. I do have closure. And God waited for my heart to heal before He let me have it. I know that sounds odd. But, some of us never get closure. I have often said...closure is when we move on, and know they have not. But, there was a time when I so wanted him to say these words. But, today...I felt pretty much nothing. No anger, no sadness. But, definitely a spirit of ...aaah. Closure.

That's why, this email was closure. For, who knows if he truly misses me. But, the fact that I no longer care to entertain these emails, shows me...I have moved on.

I am grateful for this site. I plan to donate. It saved my life and my heart, and healed me from ever needing validation from men, ever again. Thank you Lisa and Hunter...and to all the mods. Happy Thanksgiving. :=)

Okay, so he lives in

Okay, so he lives in Illinois? Just like my ex Narc? And they have so much in common? HMMMMM...maybe it IS the same guy! :D Good job, Deidre! And what's really awesome is that it's so easy for you to ignore him these days...shows how far you've come! :)

lol syren...i know, the parallels are striking. he's not a cop, though. ;) my ex isn't interested in protecting anyone...just himself. lol i honestly think that narcs that become cops, like yours, do it for the power trip only. sorry to say that. but, just my thoughts on that. yes, it feels good to be NC for this long. he's distant memory. he keeps trying to stay on the front burner, but, to no avail. ;) hoping you are doing well.

lol :=P I wish I could share his name so you all avoid him ...but trust me. Should you ever have the misfortune of bumping into him? You'll know pretty quickly...he's a psycohpath/narc. He is that transparent, once you know what to look for. ;) Blessings to you kind lady. I have missed our chats, and have been thinking of you, Hunter. You're such an asset here. You have no idea how your strength, has strengthened me...during my journal. :=)

i so totally understand about closure and glad you got it finally, my closure came after 3 years when i asked God every night to see the ex narc one more time for my closure and guess what as you know, i saw him in a store 3 weeks ago and he looked horrible, old, and miserable and would not even talk to me for 5 mins, he looked so scared to see me, what a creep but at least I can move on mow....................

Happy Thanksgiving Deidre!

Great to hear you were not triggered. Hover, missing, messing... Does not make any difference. Closure is when you close your heart. So glad you did it! Love Winter

glad you are still NC, but

glad you are still NC, but why havent you blocked these emails from his *alias*, if you didnt reply to the one about his mother, then he has taken this chance you will reply.......I am sorry to hear you were tempted to reply, you sounded like you are wavering?..... if you block that email....you won't have to hear from him again, good luck.

I assure you. No waivering. :=D I didn't block the alias, because honestly? I thought if I didn't reply...he'd go away. lol I know. Stupid me. I am honestly a bit surprised by all this 'hoovering,' if that's what we can chalk it up as. But, truly. No waivering. Email has been deleted. :=) Thanks for your thoughts, and happy thanksgiving.
