Watch out for the Narcissist Mother In Law

A very covert narcissist, it was years before she was openly hostile and witnessing the exchange , he did absolutely nothing .

It was so acute, so vulgar that I walked away, preferring to take a walk on the beach.. he followed. I recall saying , that I’d give him a divorce so he could be with his Mother.

He said ” I’ll divorce her , before I divorce you”. He had a lifetime of trauma bonding and confidential conversations with her , and in the end he targeted me for all the feminine energies that had not been kind to him, as I reflected his distortions back to him, the opportunity to have me disposed of arose and he ran with it.

No care for our sons, nor me, it was always about him and that hasn’t changed, it has gotten much worse.

Meryl Streep on why the shift or change in life .. Totally agree

“I no longer have patience for certain things,

not because I’ve become arrogant, but simply

because I reached a point in my life where I do

not want to waste more time with what

displeases me or hurts me.

I have no patience for cynicism, excessive criticism

and demands of any nature. I lost the will to please

those who do not like me, to love those who do

not love me and to smile at those who do not

want to smile at me.

I no longer spend a single minute on those who lie

or want to manipulate. I decided not to coexist

anymore with pretense, hypocrisy, dishonesty and cheap praise.

I do not tolerate selective erudition nor academic

arrogance. I do not adjust either to popular gossiping.

I hate conflict and comparisons. I believe in a world

of opposites and that’s why I avoid people with rigid

and inflexible personalities.

In friendship I dislike the lack of loyalty and betrayal.

I do not get along with those who do not know how

to give a compliment or a word of encouragement.

Exaggerations bore me and I have difficulty

accepting those who do not like animals. And on

top of everything I have no patience for anyone

who does not deserve my patience.”

God the mother

“Long before God the Father, there she was – God the Mother. Where did she vanish to, this great mother goddess? How did we women become so completely dispossessed? It wasn’t that I wanted to replace a male god with a female god; it wasn’t that I wanted to find a religion at all. I was simply looking for some sense that women might have worth. And I found it: there in the old stories of my own native land, I found it. Filled with images of women creating, women weaving the world into being, I took up knitting. Thread by thread, stitch by stitch, I began to knit myself back into being. I had never thought of myself as being a particularly creative soul, but I discovered that creativity was a wide-ranging affair. I simply thought about what brought me joy, and I began to cultivate it. I dug my hands into this strange foreign soil, and I began to grow things. I began to reacquaint myself with the soft animal object that was my body. Slowly, spending more and more time outside, focusing on the wisdom of my senses rather than on what was going on inside my head, I began to weave myself back into the fabric of the Earth.”

Strong Women

I never had one of those lives where I could take it easy and just relax.

While everyone else could sit back and enjoy the ride, I had days full of challenges and nights full of struggle.

There wasn’t time to rest or the chance to do what I wanted..

For as long as I can remember, my life has been a journey of fires and storms.

Fires that tried to consume me and storms that were intent on drowning me..

None of that ever stopped me, it only made me stronger.

There were many times that I was forced to my knees fighting for survival in a world that seemed determined to bring me down..

But each time, I got up, dusted myself off and found a way to keep going.

No one ever gave me much of a chance to make it, but then, I don’t need anyone’s approval or permission to be the independent, strong and empowered person that I am.

I’m not the one who will ask for help because I’ve never had anyone helping me during the hardest times of my life.

I’ve had to fight, battle and scrap every step of the way for everything I have.

So, I definitely don’t need to be fixed, saved or completed and I’m not holding out for a hero.

I learned a long time ago that no one was showing up to bail me out of the hard stuff..so I did what I had to do and became the hero of my own story.

Maybe I don’t have a fancy costume or have a made up name, but i do have a superpower:

I’m fiercely unstoppable, each and every day.

That doesn’t mean I don’t get knocked down, that doesn’t mean I don’t have bad days..

But I don’t stay down and l’ll never give up.

So, all the times that the world and life tried to break me?

All that did was make me stronger,wiser and better.

Now, thanks to all the people that hurt me, all the days that shattered me and all the times that I failed,

I know that I can do anything and overcome the obstacles that crash into my life.

I’m more than just a person, a brave heart and iron spirit.

I am a strong woman..and there’s nothing I can’t do.

God and Women

THIS HIT ME HARD.

Have you ever noticed how in the scriptures men are always going up into the mountains to commune with the Lord?

Yet in the scriptures we hardly ever

hear of women going to the mountains.

But we know why — right?

Because the women were too busy

keeping life going;

they couldn’t abandon babies,

meals,

homes,

fires,

gardens,

and a thousand responsibilities to make the climb into the mountains!

I was talking to a friend the other day,

saying that as modern woman

I feel like I’m never “free” enough

from my responsibilities,

never in a quiet enough space

I want with God.

Her response floored me,

“That is why God comes to women.

Men have to climb the mountain to meet God, but God comes to women where ever they are.”

I have been pondering on her words for weeks and have searched my scriptures

to see that what she said is true.

God does in deed come to women

where they are,

when they are doing their ordinary,

everyday work.

He meets them at the wells

where they draw water for their families,

in their homes,

in their kitchens,

in their gardens.

He comes to them

as they sit beside sickbeds,

as they give birth,

care for the elderly,

and perform necessary mourning and burial rites.

Even at the empty tomb,

Mary was the first to witness Christ’s resurrection,

She was there because she was doing the womanly chore of properly preparing Christ’s body for burial.

In these seemingly mundane

and ordinary tasks,

these women of the scriptures found themselves face to face with divinity.

So if — like me — you ever start to bemoan the fact that you don’t have as much time to spend in the mountains with God as you would like. Remember, God comes to women. He knows where we are and the burdens we carry. He sees us, and if we open our eyes and our hearts we will see Him, even in the most ordinary places and in the most ordinary things.

He lives. And he’s using a time such as this to speak to women around the world.
