I find it interesting (and sort of revolting) to think that the NM sent a chain email because she thinks it's appropriate...since she knows no boundaries. The sad thing is that she may think this is a really good thing to do.Jonsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17517677634712242866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4079681358332005341.post-54080473293572791782011-08-10T03:34:26.066-04:002011-08-10T03:34:26.066-04:00I prefer not to be threatened in my emails. Send ...I prefer not to be threatened in my emails. Send it or else.... I delete all threats. :) Then I wonder who was talking to God and how do they know what He is thinking? Since when does God stop having a struggle continue accept when I am dead? Why is it the blessings are being dictated by a card? I woke up this morning seeing the sunrise and I know I have already been blessed without you needing to send it. I am religious but this type of email reeeaaaalllllyyyy annoys me. Don't threaten me, don't decide for me when I get my blessings and mostly don't tell me that you know what God is thinking.

I also think there is some element in here of her believing that she is showing you 'grace'. That despite what you are 'doing to her', she is still wanting good things for you.<br /> <br />In your case, I also think she is using her superstition (because if she is superstitious, clearly you are too) to try and back you into a corner where you have to reply - the "INCLUDING ME" part is her way of trying to scare you into responding.<br /><br />I think their superstition plays out in the form of religion quite often or some other ritualistic way of existence. While I don't believe that religion is superstitious, the way Narcs exist within it, is often superstitious.Girl From the Villehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09060945549454803786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4079681358332005341.post-80139124631644044782011-08-09T13:42:03.827-04:002011-08-09T13:42:03.827-04:00Another thought...it's like, "How ridicul...Another thought...it's like, "How ridiculous can I be and still get her to respond?"<br /><br />It's just a weak, manipulative way of trying to get you to engage.Jonsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17517677634712242866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4079681358332005341.post-1480688088794995472011-08-09T13:41:24.211-04:002011-08-09T13:41:24.211-04:00I read Judy's response.
