Thank you for your words- and the word Tshuvah- my ex called me out on this yet I could not align on demand, though I know it must begin with me taking responsibility in the now- the eternal now. I appreciate the timing as I am having a hard time actualizing the shift. Bless your quest!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Melanie,
Thank you so much for putting into words what I have been feeling for so long. I have struggled with feeling that at the core I was just like the narcissist in my life. I now know the difference between us is my desire to let go and move forward, my desire to accept my role (which I knew was there but couldn&#039;t define until recently) and that this experience was necessary for me to acknowledge my own inner wounds. I found it hard to even acknowledge my inner wounds because I truly feel like I had a great childhood. I had to realize that even a great childhood could involve emotional wounds. They only became more painful because I ignored them, invalidated them. All the more reason for me to push myself to validate the feelings of my daughters. Hopefully I can teach them to validate and accept their feelings. Perhaps they can avoid the painful lessons life brings when we refuse to love and validate ourselves.]]></description>

Awww you will have to raise baby as your own and not mention the money you won&#039;t see anyway. Let the child grow up without stress. You&#039;ll manage. If he wants to be dead beat let him. Be happy with baby so he grows up happy.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Melonie you have helped me understand so much. When my ex of 3 years decided to hoover me and promised to change his cheating ways (again)  I suddenly realised it wasn’t about him changing it was about ME - me not ever wanting to be involved with someone that had been so incredibly deceitful and shallow. It was no longer about the future he was offering me it was about his behaviour towards me in the past. The realisation was a lightbulb moment and you my lovely lady turned the light on - forever grateful]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I understand that I have to accept responsibility for allowing him to take advantage of me and that it was because something was &quot;missing&quot; in me or my life or because I was trying to latch on to something, that I entered into the relationship and that it is up to me to do something and stop obsessing over what happened and the what ifs and that I could have handled things differently. And that only I can change me. 

But I am finding it very very hard to let go of the anger that he could disrespect me this way, that he could take all this money from me and ruin (financially and practically) one of my dreams and not seem to give a damn. That he can just cut me out his life (and part of me is glad that there is no contact) as though I meant nothing. The injustice of it all. The guilt and anger at myself for allowing this all to happen, to fall so hard for someone that turned out to not be the person I thought they were. That he just goes on his life and world, while mine collapsed. Why should he be allowed to just get away with it - I am taking legal advice to recover funds. And if I am honest I want revenge. I want him to suffer. 

It has all sent my world into a spin, left me feeling I have no direction and an empty.  No idea who &quot;me&quot; is anymore. 

I am interested in the NARP program and have looked at many different &quot;energy&quot; systems etc and to be honest don&#039;t really get them. I have tried Subconscious Release Technique and just thought it weird and stupid, other &quot;breathing&quot; exercises and mediations where you &quot;let go&quot; of the feelings but nothing has really clicked with me or worked. I am concerned NARP maybe the same.]]></description>
