Does anyone remember me???

I have been gone a little while wrapped up in work and Christmas. I have been doing much better but it seems though that since the excitement of Christmas is gone I seem to be slipping. I have been shopping like a crazy woman. Sometimes I feel like shopping gives me the same high I got from the Narc.

The Narc made no attempt to contact me during the holidays. Not suprising but it still blows mind that you can know someone so well and for such a long time and they completely discard you as if you were nothing.

I am sad to see that there are a whole new slew of people on here. Im always sad to see that more and more people are suffering at the hands of these f'd up people.

yes, yes ......

SOI, Shopping does the same for me, life can be dull after the dramatic roller coaster ride with an N, but I would never get back on it! I was contacted on Christmas by N, I did not respond, he contacted me, attempted, prior to Christmas, again, I did not respond. It is sad that a person could do this to another but they are not human, void of a soul, be happy he didn't contact you. Are you disappointed he has not attempted contact? Stay encouraged, remember the worst times, they will NEVER change/improve, not for us, nor their next victim. Kick 2010 in da a$$ and everything N-negative with it, you don't need it, 2011 is yours to find happiness in you, and move on to healthier people/situations, best wishes. stay~striving

stay~strong

I don't know if disappointed

I don't know if disappointed is quite the word cause I know It would only bring more pain. I think its more like astonishment and disbelief how they can just dump and never speak to you again regardless of how long you have known them. No one is sacred to them. He would rather be with strangers than me who has known him 20 plus years

Astonished

I thought I was close to the ex-Psych professor for 4 years of mentoring. I thought it was one of those teacher/apprentice relationships. I called him at the end of every summer break, he was the advisor for many of my essays... and now it's radio silence. He doesn't speak to me. But that's perhaps because I've broken NC to mock him. And yes, he got a personal list in the mail of why I did NOT miss him. Negativity was one of those things. He'd rather get a new crop of adoring, naive freshmen every year. In the December after my graduation a decade ago, ALL of my former professors got thank-yous from me. Except him. He got NOTHING.

sick of it

Hi! Be happy he didnt contact you, he contacted me, and it ruined my whole holiday, I became also sick with my stomach and all those organs, having terrible cramping pain, I was laying in bed for days in my moms plays just watching TV to distract myself to forget the hurtful BS he has thrown over me again. I was doing better yesterday, yogilala is in Berlin, we met and talked all day, and we felt better after, then this morning another text from him, she also got a text, and now we both felt horrible again. We have to remind ourselves, what exactly do we miss here? The abuse that comes along with every new contact? Surely not. So I hope that helps you a little bit. Hugs!

sickofit

Totally hear you....mine didn't contact me either....but I think I would have felt worse if he had. Not sure, I know it's not personal, but yes, it still hurts.....I'm better off and so are you...these people are disordered so not thinking the same way as us normals! Hard to fathom, but it's the truth.....take comfort in who you are and all that you bring....his loss, not yours and remember... you only lost what you didn't deserve....x

Nice to hear from each and

Nice to hear from each and everyone of you! I hope you all had wonderful Holidays! It seems just when I start to turn a corner with all of this wham I take some steps back. I have been feeling kind of sad the last few days though I will say the wound doesnt seem quite as deep. Having done huge amounts of reading and educating myself I still find myself completely dumbfounded as to how these people can completely erase you from their life as though you never existed

Girl. He is getting back in

Girl. He is getting back in my head again must be that I don't have enuf to busy my mind as during Christmas I had no time to think of him. I still can't get my mind around what happened this year. How someone from my past someone I had been pregnant with comes back professing that he screwed up that he's always loved you that he's so grateful for another chance hell never ever leave u again and the list goes on... just up and decides he's not gonna talk to you ever again just like that as if you are a used paper towel no goodbye no kiss my ass just silence. It absolutely blows my mind!

Oh I know. I was ready to pick up and go with him. I never thought I'd be sitting here, with you, ( that's not a bad thing) popping pills, seeing a shrink ,and staring out the window. It's very Fucked up. A liar, a phychopath,Alcholic, BPD, NPD, etc! I'll email Betty now I like to talk 2

Oh he was talking about us

Oh he was talking about us deciding where we were gonna live refering to things as "ours" how he couldn't wait to introduce me to his friends where he lives now. I bought it all and I was beginning to seriously consider going back to him though I knew it would devastate my family including my mom who hates him. I am so ashamed of myself. So incredibly selfish on my part but I did truly believe he was the love of my life

Did you save any of his

Did you save any of his texts an emails where he was telling you that he loved you etc... I would have thrown that right in his face they hate it when you have proof! Omg! Him saying that to me would have sent me over the edge! Though in a way he did say that to me by his just up and deciding that he wasn't gonna speak to me ever again. Your screwed if they speak to you and your screwed if they don't. Maybe we can talk sunday

Shopping is youre friend !

Shopping is youre friend ! ... well it was mine for a while ! i brought things but took most back .. im not ashamed as it helped and has stopped now (unless primark have a sale and then i fall off the waggon ) . Its so nice to hear from you , the thing is you do get good weeks and you do have down time too , its all part of recovory and it dose take time , there is no way to get round that , there is no quick fix to grieving (apart from wine and shopping oh and sitting by the pool in the summer was a great quick fix lol), if grieving is to be done properly and completely all the stages have to be done . Now is the time to do just what the hell you feel like doing and as long as you are not jacking up drugs dont be hard on youre self , everything is ok . x

I remember you SOI

Nice to see you! Yeah, it's pretty astounding how many of these assholes are out there and I guess it's great that so many people have found this board but it saddens me that there are so many victims as well. As long as everyone keeps learning, and the new people learn from the vets and we all keep supporting each other, then life goes on. For everyone else, NARCDAR, NO CONTACT!! Spot them BEFORE you get involved. (There's a book. Read it. NOW. Twice).

Hi Sick of it

Great to see you are still here with us. I was gone for awhile myself and have come back to my recovery home and family. I have been scouting around the new site and love it. Feels strange at first because it is different. I'm sure in no time we'll all be pro's at using the site. Glad you got some good shopping in, that is always fun. Look forward to catching up with you soon. We can chat on the new site if you like. Happy New Year Sick of it, this is going to be our year, I can feel it!!! God bless, Goldie
