dear Anna,

NEVER GIVE UP!!  I am 73 and am on the healing journey with Mel program!  After trying many things over the years I had almost given up.  And, just like Mel, ended up at the Psyche hospital.  Like Mel, I too also asked for help, it was hard as &#039;religious&#039; indoctrination was part of my childhood.  Tremendous fear about GOD.  But I too asked for help from my guides and angles!  I had given up the LOA because I was afraid to go back into the wounds because of the teachings.  Within days of returning to Ester Hicks You Tube, I found Mel.  I took the free workshop, well I almost instantly felt a shift!  I know that I still have many more shifts to experience as my resistance has been very strong.  We set these things up to protect ourselves as children but they work against us when we are adults.  Take care and know you are on the right path, just as I know.

Love and Light my friend.  Val

					<description><![CDATA[Hi Mel, so glad you posted this one, I have definitely felt I was too old to recover. I joined about one year ago and tried to do some of the QFH, but as I was just finishing my last taper off of psych meds I felt so drained and exhausted that I gave up on it. Anyway it is a year later I am still off the meds and I am still NC with N#3, this week I am quitting coffee and I am ready to start again with QFH. I have a long abuse history in childhood and adulthood both but since I am still alive, I am 59, it seems to me I should really try to make the best of it, right?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hi Melanie,
I&#039;ve been aware of your website and resources for sometime now. Five years ago I divorced a narcassistic man. The divorce was very difficult and painful for me and my children. I beleive to try to continue to exercise his torment and control over me, he tried to get custody of our 3 children even though I was a stay at home mom and their primary care giver, for the majority of their lives. After he insisted our children be dragged through the court system in his attempt to get custody, thankfully I was still awarded custody.  Moving forward 5 years later, I know I made the right decision to leave him after 17 yrs of marriage. He was very cold hearted and harsh toward me and still responds to meven in this manner.
My current issue is I attempted to start dating approximately 9 months ago. I had absolutely no male companionship after my divorce prior to this experience. I was not expecting to fall for this new man in the manner in did.  He emotionally connected with me in a manner that was so foreign to me, since I never received any form of emotional connection with my ex husband. It felt very good to me and I attached quickly. I thought he attached to me , but after about 4-5 months he started to tell me he didn&#039;t want a relationship with me. He continued to call and hang out sometime, but kept telling me he didn&#039;t want to be in a &quot;relationship &quot; with me. I liked him alot, and for a while kept seeing him on his &quot;friends&quot; term. 2 months ago, I just stopped reaching out after a disagreement and he barely contacted me back, so pretty much it ended. I am so hurt and miss him badly. We used to speak everyday often 4-5 times a day. He was smart, creative, extremely  successful in his own right and  helpful to me. I&#039;m not saying he was perfect, because he wasn&#039;t. He was  moody and sometimes mean. Above all, he just didn&#039;t want me as a partner. It made me feel sooooo bad, but I still hung on for a while. I now realize that I reinjured myself emotionally through this experience.  Ive read some of your resources and realize that I still have alot of inner work to do in myself. I am extremely depressed and filled with shame. On top of never really recovering financially, career wise (I was just fired from job) , and confidence is non existent,  after my divorce,  now I&#039;m heartbroken too. My question for you is where do I start to begin self partnering and start healing myself. I&#039;ve attempted many times to heal things in my life but to no avail. I either don&#039;t keep the motivation, or it just doesn&#039;t seem to work out for me. Since I&#039;m not working my finances are very low (unfortunately the story of my life). Where can I begin? Sorry so long...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Melanie.
My body shivered at the end when you said we all have a personal contribution to humanity.  I have been through not only the Narc abuse but 3 major cancers and open heart surgery and I am still thriving......well getting there. But I have continually asked....What is my purpose hear on earth?  Boy oh boy, I am scared I must admit! I am at a crossroads of new beginnings.   I finally had the courage to move the Narc out of the house who has been diagnosed with early onset Alzheimers.  I no longer feel responsible to help him and am releasing the guilt from my body. My 4 boys are proud of me.   sooooooooo for the first time in my 57 years (yes I am old too) I am not living like a puppet to a narcissist mother and a narcissistic husband.  I too am going to really get to know me and I think I am going to like ME! I am a spunky one (which unfortunately comes with a stubborn ego.)  But, to know I truly may have a meaningful contribution is so amazing.  I pray my body is open enough to absorb God/Source/Light as I am meant to.  I soooooooo appreciate your program.  It was so delightful to hear how it was born!!!!! I hope I find my contribution.  
Much love,
Cassie]]></description>
