I wasn't there, but if the way my attorney describes it is accurate, we made a narcissist sweat his balls off today!! &, while it is probably bad Karma to gloat about this, after everything he's put me through over the past 25 years I sort of feel like I'm entitled to a bit … Continue reading The Joy of A Deposition
Divorcing a Covert Narcissist Really Hurts

Divorce, Foreclosure & the USPS
What, you ask, is this picture? It is the 11 pieces of mail, mailed on the same day. (In case that is not clear, each one is dated November 30, 2016, by the bank that sent them.) Half were sent certified, the other half regular mail. All were sent by our mortgage lender. So many issues....where … Continue reading Divorce, Foreclosure & the USPS

I, and my son, are taking fire arm safety classes I am afraid of the … Continue reading I Learned Tolerance From A Minority in A Gun Shop
Why Cheaters Cheat
I've been looking for a new therapist (insurance change) and I stumbled upon one who seemed ideal. She takes my insurance, she deals with relationships and divorce, etc. She also had a youtube video, which I decided to watch before I called her office.

Is This A Boundary Issue?
My oldest son moved into an apartment with his girlfriend (GF) in September. I adore his GF, but I don't feel well equipped to judge the health of a relationship.
