LTUv6 is definitely more powerful than v5.
You're welcome to post whatever you want, here.
My wife and I are speaking again, but she didn't want to talk about it. So she still makes way when I'm near, and I told her if she has nothing to say, I don't, either. Whenever there's a fight like we had (where it starts with her insulting me and hurting my feelings), it always ends up being about my reaction to what she did - not what she did. She never owns up or holds herself accountable for her end. It's almost some form of narcissism. I'm tired of it, frankly.
We're going hot tub shopping today with my brother-in-law and sister-in-law. I'm sure my wife will pretend all is hunky-dory. Whatever, we're getting a hot tub. Yay! It should make the winter months much more tolerable. I love hot tubs.
In other news, today is the second time this week I've slept until almost 10 AM. Lots of processing going on. Also, my dreams seem to be on the sexual side almost every night. Wonder what that's all about?
No disrespect meant nor offense! I've found that thru the usage of OF,the ability to not only see what is going better,but to be able to face,deal with it and damn shure,know about it in deeper and more aware ways. I think knowing such thing(s) about another is imperative for many many reasons,including one's own sanity,boundaries and ground rules of living a higher quality life and maintaining one!! As for my family and thier truly asleep at the wheel,out of balance materialist,narcissist,ways,I now damn shure know what to do and have planned accordingly. Thats covered below. all the best for all concerned RT!
Here goes!!
Thats sooo amazing Man,that you said all of that about your wife and what all is going on here man... as I've come across some video's in the last two weeks that have just,turn somethings around for me,a such..in light of this very topic...narcissism. Before this I had 'a thousand ' words for my family's shit. now I can hone it down to a few paragraphs and 'spelling it all' Succinctly,as such RT.
IN a few words they're narcissists man. I have a biological family full of them..... MY father a complete and total narcissists . It hurts to put it that way, even still, it is so!! MY Sisters and my Brothers are total narcissisct, egocentic materialists!
They are man,they are...
also things " Hoovering" ,"Gaslighting", "Truama Bonding"( its like they all were terribly abused and misused by my father ,while my mother neverous as hell,frighten to death ,damn near by life itself and such abuses,from him and her own family growing up,stood by and watch him do these things to us. I was the 'scapegoat" and remain so still but at arms length because since I've been back home,helping my Mother,care give with my elderly decrepit father,I've had to go to battle with two of sister and 1/2 a battle with a 3rd one, as well as my two former asshole brother's,all the while setting my boundaires and ground rules for living with them about me and the respect there of....yeah the shit gits deep and its very painful to be losing your whole family ,right in front of your eyes, in my case,that is....
They attacked me verbally,One at a time, and I mean intensely, and intense isnt even the word for it. They are unfortunatley Toxic AF!! sick in the soul. no matter what, I leave next spring. Permenant,NO Contact. SO yeah a new life and cutting the Narcs' stuff out of my life....this is another reason that UMS v2 will be soooo dang important in my life and is...knowing that its coming. IM not saying your relationship with your wife and her family is the same as mine'
However the whole abouve described as well how her family reacted to you Son's spot on joke telling at 6 years old,no less....points to some deeper,much deeper stuff and its looks narcissistic ,as heck. and if so ,its damn shure better to know and be aware ,than to not. I've tried over 40 yrs off and on to help them/awaken them/boost them up.... to very little if any avail,for most of them. its sad but its true.
I can tell you that DRS,came in super handy during much of these knock down drag outs, which were always started by other family members and quickly escalated. Freightened to death control freaks who wanted to demand I do thier will and related. they've since stopped that shit,cold!!
THis is why I left at 20 yrs old and moved 3,000 miles away. Life has not been the same since. you can actually be from a Narsc' family and not be one yourself. its been 45 yrs of healing & growth . yeah the deep journey continues/
hope some of it helps you. In respect and courage. Keith.
Here are some vid's I found that helped me a great deal in the last two week.there are plenty more ,but I did not want over Load your journey RT.
