I just discovered your blog via Jonsi ......Claire,<br /><br />I just discovered your blog via Jonsi ... and I just think it's brilliant. <br /><br />And I hear ya. My FOO has labeled me as mentally ill, "Kiki is just not well!", told all my relatives (convincingly, too, unfortunately) that I have had a nervous breakdown, told their close friends that I've been sexually abused (I haven't) and am going crazy.<br /><br />All because I said I needed some space to think for a little while. <br /><br />I used to care and cry about it. Now, I'm thinking that if they considered me normal, then I'd truly be worried. I am not one of the family anymore. I embrace my orphanhood. It beats being part of the crazy family!Kikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07682023318174229038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4061406078687282740.post-40907666338699595392011-12-23T12:16:03.778-05:002011-12-23T12:16:03.778-05:00I'm glad that you can identify!

Well, not glad that you have had similar experiences - I wouldn't wish them on anybody - but I'm glad that children of narcissists can find each other and relate to each other. It's so validating.Clairehttp://aconography.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4061406078687282740.post-56492990569771990722011-12-22T23:25:24.753-05:002011-12-22T23:25:24.753-05:00I only recently found your blog and I've been ...I only recently found your blog and I've been reading your posts. This one really resonates with me. I SO TOTALLY GET what you are saying. I've lived with this type of hush/dysfunction. "the cost of membership in a dysfunctional family is voicelessness." I love how you phrase it, so dead-on correct. I'm getting my voice back, ever so slowly. Thank God.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
