We seem to have too many in positions of power in the US. I tried to send a PM to someone claiming t9 be older than i am. Your site said i have to wait for you to PM first.

@samueltyler2 Can you clarify what you are saying please,I do not quite understand. What is a PM?
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@berangere PM is a private message.
berangere · 80-89, F
@samueltyler2 For a while I was not on similar world,now I post about narcissism,as I feel it will help some people,a while back anyone could sent privte mesages to whom they liked,it was up to the person who received the message to accept it or not,I have noticed similar worlds have made quite a few changes,may be what you mention is one of them.

@berangere perhaps. Why the interest in narcissism? My daughter ha a painful marriage to one, who gaslit her, or tried to, often.

Are you really over 80? Did you work as a midwife within a health care system or outside? Do you watch Call the Midwife?
berangere · 80-89, F
@samueltyler2 Why narcissism? Because I grew up in a family of narcissist and not being like them I was therir target and then I wasted another seven years of my life with anther one who nearly destroyed everything that was dear to me because of is insane jealousy and need for control,they are toxic people and the world must know about them so people can recognise them and learn to avoid them and so spare themselves untold suffering and thedestruction of their life.can your daughter live her husband? if she has children it will be very difficult,but the narc will not change,if she cannot get away she must find ways to minimise the damage he is doing to her psyche,could she see someone privately without him knowing and she needs a lot of support,although what natcs do is try to isolate their victims from everyne so they do not get that support.

@berangere she sent him packing. She filed for divorce and that was finally finalized 3 years ago in January. He remarried and still acts the same way. He is evil.
berangere · 80-89, F
@samueltyler2 I am glad to know that she sent him packing,sadly this does not happen as often as it should and victims of narcissist abuse become codependent and their lives a write off.I too turned against the narc and left him, I did not have children because he did not want any and that was a blessing in disguise.Yes narcs are evil's foot soldiers.I suppose when you say he acts the same way,you mean the same way with a new victim? My ex narc now also has a new partner that he micro manages.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@berangere yes, that is the same, but he tries to manipulate my daughter and her kids.
berangere · 80-89, F
@samueltyler2 Sadly he will alway try to,narc must win at all costs,so they don't give up,but at least she is away from him and has more control over her life,but she was very brave to have left him,that took great courage on her part.She could talk to a counselllor to acquire strategies to minimise the effects of his attempt at controling her from afar.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@berangere she has, but, she lived in a state that give a the law school.
berangere · 80-89, F
@samueltyler2 Can you clarify about "the state the give the law school",it is not clear.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@berangere sorry, auto correct fouled me. She lives in MD abd the laws seem to favor the husband.
berangere · 80-89, F
@samueltyler2 Yes sadly the law in places like that, does not seem to take into consideration that the husband could be a sick individual.I suppose he is making difficulties about visiting rights regarding the children and asserting his control there,narcs do not care about the welfare of their children in cases like this they just care about winning,has she considdered moving to another state? But may be the circumstances prevent such a move.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@berangere the divorce is in MD, so it wouldn't change anything. She has a great job in MD.
berangere · 80-89, F
@samueltyler2 So having a great job the narc cannot take away from her is a victory in itself,she must learn ways of minimising the narc's toxic influence on her life,I feel counselling would greatly help but she must precise to the person refering her that she want a counsellor who specialises and understands narcissitic abuse.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@berangere she did one better, she found a new "partner," who seems to be a true gentleman, has loved her since they were 17 years old. The girls adore him. Things are good. We keep telling her to ignore her ex totally.
berangere · 80-89, F
@samueltyler2 Yes,she was very lucky to have found that loving partner,a man who truly loves her and that must put the narc into a rage,as they are very jealous.The best thing she can do is be happy and enjoy her life with her partner and her girls and not let the narc disrupt it.The best revenge you can have against a narc is to be happy and successful and them knowing they cannot take it all away from you.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@berangere we tell her that as often as we can.

Is your about me accurate? I haven't ventured into oils, but have fooled with water colors and acrylics, crayons and pastels, as well as sculpture and photography.
berangere · 80-89, F
@samueltyler2 @samueltyler2 LOL I am an oil painter how did you know that?

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@berangere you said it in your "about me." I always check out the profile of those i communicate with. Are you really in your 80's? If you don't wantbanswers public, then message me.
berangere · 80-89, F
@samueltyler2 No that was a mistake that I just discovered when you mentioned it I am in my late seventies.I corrected it.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@berangere okay, I was 78 in July. I haven't painted in a while. My wife keeps bugging me for more/new water colors.
berangere · 80-89, F
@samueltyler2 Do give it a go, I now often I have to motivate myself I have started the portrait of a friend.just finished the porteait of the auntie of a friend who passed away.

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@berangere I have put most of my creative juices into photography. I carry my camera wherever we go. If I feel like doing a figure, I dimplynuse my own body, because covid interferes with hiring a model.
berangere · 80-89, F
@samueltyler2 Sorry two aunties! I don't know what happened.
