I am 50 yrs old. I come from a mother with undiagnosed NPD that I never formed a bond with & an abusive father who she chose to keep in her life. But I was Cinderella for 25 years with a Prince that rescued me named Mike. No more abuse. Spoiled. Loved flaws & all. Unconditional love. He passed away almost 5 years ago and the abuse started all over again. I met someone I thought was wonderful & got stuck in a crazy abusive relationship with a narcissist. Perfect for almost 2 years. Ive heard it’s rare that they can hide that side of them for that long but hey…. On a positive note, that’s almost two years of therapy I can skip lol. I never had to dig into my childhood until now. I survived so much before & I’ll survive this. Loosing my best friend and husband leaves me in a very different situation. So much has happened these past 5 years I feel like I’m living in the Twilight Zone. I survived with humor & faith. A lot of humor. Glass half full. I could see the positives in the bad and the lessons to be learned. Got to laugh at your ** life sometimes. I would have never survived without my humor but you might have noticed, like I just did, and I used the word could as in past tense. So here I am refusing to loose that special crazy funny part of me that made me a survivor before & will again with help and support from all you guys at ShareWell. My personality type is ENFP. I’m an extrovert. I love people and I am an open book. If anyone has a question or wants my entire life story I promise to talk your head off and make you laugh. I’m even writing a book called Put Your Big Girl Panties On. So message me any time. Day or night. I have furbabies I talk to but the conversations are a bit one sided 😄
