Just wanted to update everyone and let you know that, despite some initial problems, I think I finally got through to dh. He came home from work the other day, apologized for making me feel that he was ever not on my side and added that no amount of benefit that ds may (or may not) get out of a relationship with NM is worth it if it means I lose a part of myself as a mother, wife and person. So, in short, all is once again well in my household and dh and I are back on the same page! Yay!

About Me
- DisturbedAngel
- I am 38 years old, married to a wonderful, loving man and the proud stay-at-home mama to a beautiful little boy. I grew up with a narcissistic mother and abusive stepfather. My half sister has always been the golden child and I, the family scapegoat who can never seem to measure up. After years of bending over backward to try and have a good relationship with my half sister, I finally severed contact in March of 2009. Then, in January of 2010, I also severed all contact with my narcissistic mother. (Updated to add that as of May 2011, I've also cut ties with my narcissistic father and stepmother as well.) Currently, I am back in contact with my NM in a limited capacity. Walking away from all that toxicity was a LONG time coming but I can't believe how much better I feel because of it. This diary is intended primarily to be a log of my journey toward healing from the abuses I've endured. I hope it will also become a place where others who've been cast as the family scapegoat or who've been the victims of a narcissist's abuse can find comfort in knowing they aren't alone.
Very happy to hear this!
