					<description><![CDATA[Here is a thought from someone who grew up with parents that I suspect behaved a lot like narcissists:

The first question is not so much “Why did this happen to me?” as “What happened to me?”. There is no “before” to compare with, no “baseline normal”. And asking your parents is not going to produce any useful answers, obviously.
What is the difference between normal disciplining and abuse, under the circumstances? What is the normal level of confusion in a child over their parents’ apparently contradicting rules and behaviours? Which beliefs from childhood are normal and which are not, again considering the circumstances?  Unless the abuse/neglect was clear, it’s hard to tell because you were a developing child at the time. And you can only let go once you know what to let go of. 

Then comes the inner emotional work.

In practice (I totally agree), walking away from narcissists is the only sustainable long term solution. And accepting some degree of confusion about what happened is part of that.

Thank you, Melanie, your input really helps on my journey.]]></description>

Hi Ellen,

please know how welcome you are.

It is so true about the revenge part - I love the two holes analogy!

That&#039;s great that you are healing and letting go!

Much love to you

Mel 🙏💞🦋]]></description>

Iris my darling,

That is a powerful choice of self-love to you! Well done.

It is painful, big and all pervasive what is occurring.

Everything you have said is 100% truth.

The truth I know, and I know you know, and feel is that the old systems, the old false idols, the outer props that replaced soul and source are going to crack and fall. (They already are.)

Just as the shattered &quot;reality&quot; of what we believed we were going to live with a narcissist crumbles into dust.

From the ashes will come something much greater, and we are all here (when awake) to participate in this midwifeing of heaven in to and on to Earth.

It has to be this way.

Bring on the Light, Truth and New Realities!

I hope too that as soon as Australia is no longer locked up that I can come to Florida and see you.

All my love to you

Mel 🙏💞🦋]]></description>

Hi Bec,

please know the answer is by healing these emerging traumas (which are completely normal and understandable)within you.

Then truly you will be completely benign to all of this and free to be yourself.

NARP is the key to getting this achieved www.melanietoniaevans.com/narp
