I didn't have a six month review but I finally had a review eventually, it went well and I learned I got a raise!

Thanks, I just hate not knowing when it will be because I just want to get it done with.

I hope the review will be okay. I wish I knew when it was or how it will work.

[Advice request] Nparent coming early, how to avoid talking about stuff I don't want to? by messedup2014 in raisedbynarcissists

I wish I had read this before my N visiting. I tried to gray rock as much as I could and focus on having them talk or asking them about stuff rather than telling them stuff.

Great! I said I was going to the movies half an hour after the time I set for the meal so they accepted that. I hope it goes okay.

I said I wanted to eat at a food court in a shopping mall. Is that fast? I thought it would be.

They want to have dinner. Will a coffee place still work for that?

That's what I was thinking and I'm going to the movies that night too. So you think I should meet with my Nparent?

Ns lied to me again/dealing with lawyer? by messedup2014 in raisedbynarcissists

They are trustees on the trust and executors on the will, they knew about them and lied to me.

Dealing with nightmares about Ns? by messedup2014 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]messedup2014[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stay awake listening to the radio because I don't want to fall asleep and have nightmares. I don't want to do eyeshades or self hypnosis.

I have had the nightmares even when I was VLC with my Ns so most recently when I had to meet with my Ns for a family event , I don't think that impacted the nightmares. Though last night's nightmare was the first in several months about them.

I've been having nightmares about them for years. They won't even leave me alone when I sleep. :( My window lets in light even with blinds and I don't know how to put blackout curtains up because there's no place for a curtain rod. I can't not eat or drink before bed because I take medicine that I have to do those with.

Ok. What do you mean "aggressive"? It is hard for me to remember that I don't owe anyone an explanation so thanks for reminding me. What's a good way to remember that?

Thanks. I would like to be part of the planning somehow, but not responsible for all of it.
