Yes, Mel !    I have learned  that Dorothy really had the power to heal all along.   I am here to attest that there is a place called Somewhere Over The Rainbow. All you have to do to find it is to go within and BELIEVE you are worthy to live there !!!]]></description>

I am 70 years old. Left a narcissistic relationship after a marriage of 23 years. The Wizard of Oz story has always been a great metaphor for me. I saw Dorothy as a young girl who loved her family and dog Toto. The wicked witch (Narcissist) was trying to steal her beloved pet. Dorothy thought she had choice other than running away from her home (actually she was running from herself in an effort to escape the narcissistic). She wound up in the Land of Oz searching for the Wizard that she thought could help her return home). She then had to discover along with the Tin Man, Lion and Scarecrow that the wizard had no real power nor did the witch) She alone always had the power to return home to her True Self.). Wisdom,Courage and Love were always available to her as Dorothy, The Scarecrow and the Lion journeyed together to realize this Truth]]></description>

It has been 4 years since you left your comment. I am just seeing it today and it spoke to me. I lived through  this also, my son was 5 y.o. when I  split with my ex. My son would come home after his weekend visits with his narc father and would just be mean and misbehaved, angry. It would take most of the week for him to be &quot;normal&quot; again, only to go through  it again in another 10 days. I let him express his anger for the most part and not deny his feelings. When he went through puberty  around age 11-12 he was quite angry, destructive.  I have finally  worked on myself and showed my son a powerful Mom and he finally denied his narc father and decided  he could no longer  have him in his life. My son is now 17 and we have never  had a better  relationship.  He talks about  what happened  and how he felt. He was angry  because  he thought  I abandoned  him, he didn&#039;t  realize  I was  bound by a court order! But now he understands. I was patient and tolerant and we have  an amazing  relationship  now. Just be there for your boys and don&#039;t  give up. More than that, work on yourself  to show them there is a different way to  BE, to live your life, set an example of stability and  sanity. I hope things have improved for you in these 4 years. Believe  that things can change, with time and patience  and always  talking to them, with truth and kindness and empathy. I pray for you and your boys!]]></description>
