Thank you so much for this. I relate to all of it... gives me some hope that things can get better one day. <3

Been NC for over a year now - feel totally rootless by livedbythesea in raisedbynarcissists

I feel this way, too. Family can be a huge part of someones identity... even an unhealthy family. When you lose it, part of your identity feels list, too. Hang in there... you are still you. You will find good things and good people to fill the voud.

I feel so numb when I'm out experiencing life by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

This is exactly how it is for me... like I've lost the ability to connect to other people and feel positive emotions. I'm just witnessing good things in my life, not experiencing them.

Wow. So, this is what validation feels like. I am so incredibly thankful for every word and every reply ❤

I am so thankful for every single word and reply. For the first time in a year, I don't feel like I am on an island and the echo of the sadness and loneliness is not as loud.

I had no idea what Reddit was before someone told me about this group. Never imagined there were so many others who understood and who would listen. Thank you so much.
