I just want to thank you for your insightful posts on this board! You are so new here and yet have shared so much knowledge and such a positive outlook. I am having a very difficult time these days and haven't posted much, but I've been glued to this board every day! I love to read your posts and wish you peace, love and contentment in your new journey in life. You seem to have already found it!
God always knows how and when to bless us in the way we most need it.
I was so down about my finances... and to find this tonight was such an encouragement to me to keep standing in the faith that has carried me this far.
Sylvia... the group is about healing from the damage and wounds inflicted on us by narcissists... who lie to us in horrible ways, use us in cruel ways, and deeply damage our sense of self esteem and worth..and more. So many people out there are being abused by these kind of damaged humans... it's really quite sad. ..and kind of scary too, to realise that.
My abuse was mild compared to what some have suffered.
..and as damaged as I became from being married to one, imagine the worse damage others are having to cope with and heal from. Hearing each others stories and experiences... helps clear up the fog in our brain.. and gets our upside down thinking turned right side up.
Light bulbs of understanding go off as we see... "ohhhh... me too!.. so that's why...." And each time one does, more weight of guilt or self-blame is lifted off our shoulders and out of our minds and we get to feeling a little bit lighter, and a little more 'ok' with ourselves.
And... just like with divorce.. there is anger to also contend with.
So it's good to have someplace to talk over everything about it.. with people
who are also suffering the concequences of that kind of relationship.. and completely know and understand what you are feeling and going through.
And sharing our progess... brings surprising gifts like the post above. 
I am so amazed at how God reaches down and always knows when, where, and how to do exactly the thing for us we most need done... to keep us safe and on the path of faith and hope.
A narcissist sucks you empty and dry of your self worth. So to be "thanked" for being me.. instead of rejected for it... is such a soothing balm to my soul.
I have gotten so much of that same balm from you all here.... I would not
be who I am now.. if not for you all carrying me through the darkest of the times. You gave to me... and I in turn have now been able to give to others.... we form a circle of giving... all blessed and healed.. by love.
Thank you... Grace
