Valentine's Day Reminder

Valentine's Day provides a perfect opportunity for our ex-narcs to "hoover" and attempt to reel us back in. Therefore, I'd like to remind everyone why we cannot and should not fall for it.

I didn't know who she was nor what she was going through BUT I so desperately wanted to do what I wished my ex would have done for me. I went near her and simply asked if I could hug her. She embraced it and then we both had tears falling.
