@Whispering_Truth True. You know that there is a certain bridge in the city I live in, that it is illegal to ride a horse across on Sunday. Pretty stupid law if you ask me. ;)
(Whoops, I started writing this comment hours ago, didn't see the divert to help desk request from mods, didn't mean to encourage further discussion with this part of my post.) @joeylittle sorry.

Oh, I don't know if you have done this or not, but I stopped reading the news a while ago, I only regret not having done so sooner. So much weight came off my chest when I stopped reading about how every-thing-one-whatever-else out there was trying to make me die a horrible death.

I started using that time to read things I wanted to read about, or for example here, where I can actually respond to in a meaningful way. Whether or not anything I say here ever means anything, or makes any difference in any way, I'll never know. But I can say it's a far better use of my mental energy.

Not saying you are wrong in what you say or feel, there's alot of horrible stuff out there. I couldn't agree more. It's also easy to lose oneself in the misery and horror
of the world around us.

The idea of having rose coloured glasses, doesn't at least to me, mean ignorance is bliss. For one has to be aware of the different colours from which one can view the world to know that yours is rosy.

As I said, not telling you what to think, just offering something to think about.

What works for me @Skitzii is to bring myself back to the "village", my village. Where...

No, it sounds wonderful!! But I don't have a village. @Flossy .. I have no friends or family. All my friends shunned me after I stopped believing in God. My family kicked me out when I tried to turn my dad into the police. All I have is my verbally abusive boyfriend that im trying to find means to leave. What you say sounds ideal, but I just don't have that.
 
I really thought about whether or not it was important to me, to pick up this post and comment on it....

No, you're good love. I didn't mean to minimulize anyone's experience. I do dull mine down to deal with it. I'll tell people terrible things that happened to me and laugh about it. I laugh at most things because life's been so overwhelmingly harmful. I can only work through so much at a time. No one has to read my threads, or comment on them. I see offensive stuff on here all the time and I leave it be. I appreciate you opening my eyes to yet another fact. You seem to be full of knowledge. But you post such lengthy responses that the question begs at the back of my mind. I'm being genuine here. Are you trying to save people?

You are surrounded by extremely judgemental people. It is nobody's business what your spiritual beliefs are, and if your father was abusive to you, he deserved to be turned in. Unfortunately, the formerly abused go on to pick partners that are abusive also. I hope you get out of there soon.

Thanks @Flossy . I hope I can get out of this way of life soon. I don't think I'll be interested in anyone for a while. I'm more than burnt out and fairly jaded. Hopefully that will give me some time to make friends and build a life so that another partner can't tare it down again.

Well.. I'm responsible for my own life. So hopefully I've learned enough to not be swayed into isolation again. It's not that he wants me to be alone, but he tares me apart with no emotional energy left.
 
@Skitzii I know you dont have friends or family. I am sorry. I know it is awful. I dont either. Seven years ago when I worked so hard to try to sort things out with my family is when I realised what i was dealing with. My mother had Narcissistic Personality Disorder and was the cause of all the shit in my family life.

I had to drop my mother, my brother, my sister out of my life. My daughter wont talk to me and my son is dead. (from lung disease). I have no girlfriends. I never have had.

People want to be my friend, but they mess me up.

It is really hard. I never get visitors to my house. I know you dont have a house. If my husband died, I would not either. I cant work. The family shit + sibling sexual abuse + my sons death created PTSD in me.

I am only telling you this because I know what it is like to have no family and no friends. I do have my husband and that is a blessing. So I guess I dont know what it is like to be totally homeless with nobody.

There is hope for you. But, you have to study and study it.

I also got shunned by a group of churchgoers when I 'outed' the main one as a predator.

You will become so good at recognising the narcissists that eventually you will not allow them into your life at all.

I hope you are tying to hatch an escape plan.

Have you considered doing searches for 'live-in nanny" positions. Just so that you can leave and not be homeless to give you some breathing space. No need to respond. Just an idea.
