Touch Starvation – Associated with Narcissist

This was treated like it was normal. Romantic gestures , kisses , hugs , intimacy were not part of marriage . It was deadly to my spirit and my soul , yet I held faith that change would come ..I think I became fearful of what life would be like with 3 small sons .. I learned to pick my battles in an time when there was soooo much going on . Discovering I had been responsible for everything except his day to day work, was daunting …

My body spoke to me when I quit smoking , Xanax covered and smothered my symptoms , as my highly sensitive self became an addict quickly and overdosed which was seen as bipolar ..

Touch was just one weapon in the brutality of a man at war , and is in charge ..

Nellie Bly- Journalist undercover in an insane asylum

The trailblazing American journalist Nellie Bly began her record-breaking 72-day journey around the world on this day in 1889 — a trip which made her the first person to ever complete the fictional journey depicted in Jules Verne’s “Around the World in Eighty Days”! A minimalist traveler, the 24-year-old Pittsburgh native brought with her only the dress she was wearing, a sturdy overcoat, a wool cap, a few changes of underwear, and a small handbag with her toiletries and writing supplies. She started the 24,899-mile journey from a port near New York City and traveled by steamship to England. From there, she traveled by train across Europe and Asia, by ocean liner across the Pacific Ocean, and by train from San Francisco back to New York. In total, her journey lasted 72 days, six hours, eleven minutes, and fourteen seconds, setting a new world record for fastest circumnavigation.

Bly, one of the earliest muckraking journalists, was also famous for her undercover investigative reports on corruption and social injustices. The year before her famous journey, Bly took an undercover assignment for the New York World where she feigned insanity to get herself committed to the New York City Lunatic Asylum on Blackwell’s Island. Her work pioneered the realm of undercover journalism after she wrote an exposé on the horrific conditions and mistreatment of patients she found there. Bly’s series of articles led to a grand jury investigation and, subsequently, to improved care for the patients and increased funding for the care of people with mental illness.

Leave it in the past

I totally agree !

I had a life lesson recently, a repetitive issue that comes out of no where . The digression was so acute that I’m in that place of stepping away .

Sadly I don’t sense change will ever happen.

Of course I am the past to an ex who desires his version of the past is forever accepted as the reality . He has used this facade , manipulating any and all, especially our sons .

Patterns are a reality and exist in most of my blood ties .

Boundaries – Sherrie Campbell, PhD

Tuesday Teachings

Boundaries are not mean, although they are often firm, clear, and direct. When you set a boundary on your family member’s flagrant, abusive, behavior, be prepared for them to level the playing field with an unwillingness to own their abuse and instead cast all blame your way.

If, or when, your family reacts with retaliation, and pose continual threats to your boundaries, this is clear statement that they have no respect for you. They will not take perspective on why you feel the need to set the boundary you are setting.

You tried. You set the boundary and gave them an opportunity to learn and to take a healthier course of action with you, and they refused. This is hurtful and frustrating, but at least their problematic character is clear. If someone in your family continually turns themselves into a person you have to heal from, you are allowed to no longer have them in your life.

He discusses his sexual molestation and his life of healing

I truly appreciate this man’s openness in telling his life story , which eventually allowed his healing and helping mental health issues with others.

I’m sure this happens more that we are allowed to know. I have listened to more than a few men discuss their trauma , via sex abuse and not having a support system he could confide in.

His experience in military school is one I believe Trump experienced , as a wealthy , braggart , he was vulnerable to those who wanted to shame him. I believe it’s a blow to be be in a military school, leading to feelings of not being wanted by family.

Little boys are seldom allowed to emote , and so resort to isolation and anger. Boys are not taught to communicate their feelings and hold on to the rage and shame of being violated.

I feel in my heart our sons were subject to some very horrific abuse from other boys/ men.

That is usually highly abusive , and it’s great to hear this man discuss his experiences , and how he was able to rise out of that darkness, and have a supportive partner in marriage that he trust.
