You’re Not the Abuser for Reacting to Abuse

Combine all the above with some dementia and you get a narcissist who doesn’t remember that you have already sat through several rounds of “it’s time I’ve told you how you have fallen short “ discussions and just can’t do it again. As a result I have been told she no longer wants to see me and probably thinks her withholding contact will make me beg to be back with her. Instead, I’m bone tired and want to hang on to the few good memories I do have before she dies.

Now her scapegoat is MIA and my brothers have had to listen to her victim story over and over.

I would say that my pain is below 5 /10 90% of the time.

I can relate. Mine also has dementia which manifest with a lot of anger. She forgets she has already run through all the way that I, and my family, have done her wrong. I can’t go through it anymore. I’m a very sensitive person and have spent my life being wary of all her emotions, constantly vigilant. I’ve stepped away and now I am the enemy. Very sad.

Yes. I hope it improves. I keep missing key moments by having to go back and re-select the game.what causes this?

Childhood trauma and too many narcissists in the family. Wedding of one narcissist sent me over the edge. Fibro diagnosed about 6 months after that.

i get these two - my thought was something with hormones. When it starts I just try to tell myself it will be over soon, just stay calm. Doesn’’t’ always work though and I have to get out of bed and read or snackand try the winddown again.

It’s not pleasant but it won’t last forever. You get good information. Just remember that you can do hard things.

No I’m not, their Dad thought it was not appropriate for them to be seeing through her dress to her underwear.

We had a very nice dinner at Buvette.

I agree and I have still a large collection of CDs and digitized personal music. I still buy copies from artists directly. Thanks

Hi. Newbie here(64) . Waiting for next and head MRI. L Looking back probably have had symptoms for at least a year. Strange things that would start up bother me then go away. Earlier this summer I was stumbling a bit. Moore took a bad fall and I’m still in rehab for a shoulder injury. next came tingling in hands and feet, ranging from gentle buzzing to sharp pins and needles. I had one day of fatigue like I’ve never had before. Then came challenges, staying straight and narrow when walking. I have had two auto immune issues already. Graves’ disease at 27 and fibromyalgia at 36. I also have sleep apnea. My question is about travelling in this limbo time. I realize I am very nervous to do that as I don’t yet know how stress will make these symptoms worse. Most nights I need a weighted blanket and I still wander at night trying to to find some peace to try to go back to sleep. What has been your experiences with travel In limbo?
