My experience of being closely acquainted with a narcissist for fifty years, and how the end of my marriage revealed her true colors. The pain I have been through, especially over the last four years, has revealed some really evil, bitter and jealous ways that people have. It has shown that narcissism has no limits and the NARCS come in all genders, shapes, and sizes and there is no limit to the relation. This story is to quell the lies that are being told about why I ended a fifty- year close relationship, because the stories I am getting are surely lies. In addition, I pray that you realize that mental illness is real. People who are miserable bring misery. If you know this person, you know that there is simply a history of unhappiness and misery. One thing we must do is break the cycle, because our children are definitely repeating the cycle.

I lose count of the number of losses my loved ones and I have experienced, and it is heartbreaking; still, many fail to realize how grateful they should be to see each day.

Following up from the Daddy Issues of last week
Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/danielle-owens/support
As little girls, the relationships with our fathers, good or bad, often spill over into our romantic relationships. THIS IS TRUE FOR ME. Because I longed to have a relationship with my father, I held on to my grandfather for dear life. He was my hero for stepping up and loving me when my father didn't. In addition, because he was so amazing as a father, all men had to compare to him. I sought all of my needs from the men I was involved with. I unknowingly needed them to do what my father didn't in order for me to let go of my grandfather. Mine was extra because I didn't receive the motherly love I longed for either.

This young lady called me today while I was having a really awful day. I haven't been able to sleep,(48 hrs) can't get out of the bed and not feeling well mentally. My therapist isn't available and sometimes this will happen. Just when I was feeling my lowest she called needing me also and we helped each other. While speaking with her I asked if it were ok to record. This was an impromptu episode but I decided to share so you can try to understand the real emotion and feelings going through the mind of those who battle with depression or other mental health issues...This is a relationship that I developed from being in Sheppard Pratt. Three years later and we are still in contact....
