A New Revelation......

"I have NEVER been without a man since Im 15.....Pathetic!" Hey, what can you say? It's hard for an attractive girl to remain single for long! :)

Congrats! I'm about to embark on month 3 NC. It feels amazing to have my own thoughts again, my own mind. Here's to continued success and further progress! Cheers!

I can hear your inner-peace as I read your post. I am so happy for you and your boys! (Being a mom of boys totally rocks!) You are complete just as is! Congrats on the 5 months. "Toxic Men" is a great book, I really enjoyed it as well and reference back to it A LOT! I have been directed to so many great books by being on this forum and it's felt nice to make the time to read. With N in my life I forgot how great it was to pick up a book and read. Whether I did it for pure enjoyment, to learn something new or to lose myself in a romance. Here are a few I have read: Thomas Sheridan's "Puzzling People". Dr. David Burns "The Feeling Good Handbook". Melody Beattie "Codependent No More". Steven Carter & Julia Sokol "Help! I'm in Love with a Narcissist" Cyntihia Zayn & Kevin Dibble "Narcissistic Lovers" And the most important of all: Lisa's Book!!!!!!! (Hunter also recommends a book that she says all moms of boys should read. I haven't gotten it yet and I have the book written down somewhere, just not at my figertips right now....ask Hunter. I think it's written by Kenneth Williams, maybe? I wish I had the paper I wrote it on with me but it's on my desk at wor......) Still waiting to get through Dr. Sam Vanknin. "Malignant Selflove" What you wrote :"IM LOVING ME and I REALLY MISSED HER!!!!" That sums it up doesn't it? I miss me too. I enjoy refriending myself and finding out who I truly am....I just might come to realize I AM A PRETTY COOL CHICK! hehehehe Big hugs to you my friend!

I can relate to what you wrote and I am so happy for you! Especially after what we have been through, God, does it feel good! Me too, for the first time in my life I started loving myself, appreciate my own company. It feels incredibly good. Sometimes I wonder if I ever would be there if not "thank" to the narc experience... Maybe not. Maybe going through this pain really helped us to better understand ourselves? Maybe it was not for nothing... Anyway, keep up with you wonderful life and attitude! Love Winter

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That you want a man that's a good addition to your already good life. So awesome :))) that's a good standard to live by! In fact I'm going to borrow it and use in my life lol

Excellent Janemarie! Keep on the good path!! :)
