					<description><![CDATA[Hi Melanie! Only with your articles and lessons have I been able to leave this destructive shocking situation! I am 71 years old facing having to start over again. No family but a grown Son who is the same as his father….so far. At this stage I feel paralyzed,  how shall one cope with the aloneness especially with the global pandemic . so I shall  join the NARP Program right away! 
    Each article you have written has inspired me with strength to get out, find an apartment then find inner strength to go from there. Thank you Melanie for all you are and all you do!    Hello from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This article is so true. I tried to leave my narcissist and they freaked out and went on a smear campaign against me. I never thought anyone would act so nasty but I now know that they do. I realized how little they valued me, my boundaries or even my own happiness. They did not seem to care that having to interact with them was not what I wanted. But after reading these articles I see that narcissist are really not capable of treating others with respect especially if they feel you slighted them in some way. I find them kind of fascinating but it is also sad that they are that way. Going to continue to work on my modules, because really there is nothing else to do.

Just read the post from the other Molly. I guess there are two of us now, lol. Sending you light and support Molly. And nice name :-) Thank you Melanie, another great article. Know thy enemy]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This is my first time commenting on this site, although I have been dropping in to read Melanie&#039;s words for several years now.  I have been in two toxic, crippling &quot;relationships&quot; with narcissists, one right after the other, over the past 11 years.  It was during the first one of 7 years that I stumbled in here and learned what a narcissist was and that I definitely was living with one. I remember feeling so startled at how everything I was reading was about me!?..my life!?..OMG! How does someone know EXACTLY what I am going through and how crazy, confused, hurt, devastated, lost, empty, worthless, anxious, fearful, distraught, stressed, paralyzed, unsure, abandoned, foolish and alone I feel???  But you did. Every time I came back and read I left with more knowledge, more understanding of my situation, and more tools for survival. When I began to hear about people who had gone no contact /left and were healing from the destruction/abuse  it gave me what I needed most during the darkest hours of my existence..hope.  I am going to leave my share at that for now. I will be back again to share more thoughts. To whoever is reading this right now, wherever you are, I wish you an amazing day!  Remember the beautiful things in life, that you are loved and that you are worth living.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Yess! Even &#039;acting out&#039; detachment though your heart is thumping can pave the way for genuine detachment in my experience. My ex turned up at my place after nearly ten years. I was getting out of my car and this man approached me with a sheepish smile on his face. It took me a full count of 10 to recognise him...in my mind I was going...I know I don&#039;t like this person but who is he? Then of course I realised and I calmly said &#039; I dont want to see you,&#039; turned and walked into my house - making sure to lock the door! I was shaking of course but when I&#039;d got over the shock I realised what I&#039;d said was truly deeply what I felt and it felt wonderful...empowering. I find myself using this exeprience in so many different situations now and every time I feel stronger, more authentic and in charge of my life. Wonderful! And thank you Melanie...as you see I still get and read your emails. Thank you.]]></description>
