life

I am now at the age were I have fewer years ahead of me than I have left behind.Most of them I have spent unhappy in abusive relationships,there probably were some good times with them but to tell you the truth I can`t really remember any.I`m not going to let these wankers ruin the rest of my life.Life is to short and precious to waste any more of it on them.

Hear! Hear, madashell! I

Hear! Hear, madashell! I couldn't agree with you more. Like you, I've spent large amounts of my life in unhappy abusive relationships. I'm done. I want to be happy living whatever life I have left. You are absolutely correct. Life is too short and precious to waste any more time on these jerks. :)

Yes, enough is enough

In order to change; we need to wake up one day and say: that's it, I AM DONE!!! Sounds like this is where you are at and this is great, now begins the process of changing life patterns. Good for you and I am right there with you sister. I have done the same. Wishing you the very best in your journey of recovery. God bless, Goldie

AMEN sister!

I hear that! And am right behind ya! I was just thinking about karma the other day. If there's anything to that, I've been building very good karma for all the patience, love, understanding, resilience, care-taking, and friendship I've given throughout my life (especially with the narc). So, I'm ready for the good times to begin baby!!

Believe in yourself!

Life is for Living!

Yep! Great positive mental attitude. In my 30s I trained as a podiatrist and on the course there were 2 older women - one in her 50s and one in her 60s. The lady in her 60s went on to live in Portugal and set up her own podiatry clinics over there! Anything is possible in life. We are lucky that we live in countries where we have freedom and choices in our lives - make the most of it! I've decided to look for excitement in my life in healthy ways. In a few weeks I'm going to Glastonbury - the UK's biggest festival to volunteer with a major charity and am really looking forward to it - although nervous too. We are lucky that the world is our oyster and we have that freedom. Sincerely wishing you happier years ahead - don't waste them on narcs! Enjoy life - yay!
