When you're in the middle of the mess, it's so hard to believe it *will* get better. It's just such a struggle. When we're down on our knees, when it seems we have the least to give subsequent to a life time of NPs/NFOOlishness, we need to blindly believe all this pain will be worth the effort to extract ourselves and our families from the mess. Your Post confirms this reality.<br />Thank you also for calling the NP/NFOOlishness exactly what it is: Abuse. I'm concerned at times that other AC's who have not been on the receiving end of some type of physical abuse can't identify the psychological mind-fuckery as Abuse. It is: The NPerps have messed with your most important human attribute-your mind. IMO, our Crazy Level Tolerance Bar was broken before we even had a chance and for their own edification<OUCH. That hurts horribly and has implications for every area of our lives.<br />It's been 29 yrs. since I walked away. Despite all the nasty stuff thrown at me post NC I can say without a doubt, that decision was the most life affirming of this old broad's life.<br />Again, thank you Vanci. You have been such a gift to me and many others. The most important "others" are your family and your kids. The cycle, the NLegacy has been broken by one courageous woman-Ms. Vanci. <br />TW Tundra Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12262066568878267648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272093124960843754.post-80222170896245014262013-05-04T19:35:56.969-07:002013-05-04T19:35:56.969-07:00It's very interesting re the whole post apocal...It's very interesting re the whole post apocalyptic thing. Since going NC almost 2 years ago, I've read Cormac McCarthy's The Road, watched Stephen King's The Stand, The Postman, The Walking Dead, I am Legend (book and movie) and a whole slough of other post apoc. Movies. I can't seem to get them out of my system. Makes a bit if sense, as I am walking around trying to make sense of this post NFOO existence. Great to hear from you, but glad you're in a place where you don't need to be sorting through the N-muck.
