Twinks that's funny, because my Nana was from Glasgow.
But you are right, Twinks I have to just let things go. It feels like I have lost my entire family in a little under a year, but in all honsety I never really had anything real there. It's just coming to terms with the fact, is all.
Parents who have NPD do this strange thing with their family called triangulation. Basically it is a major programme of disinformation, whereby my mother will be telling everyone she knows as much afwul stuff about me (mostly made up, but how would they know) that she can think of, to turn people against me, so as to isolate me and make me believe it is my fault and so bring me back under control. She has done it all my life, except I saw through most of the things she said about other people, becuase if you really listen to what she says there is little basis in fact- it's manily her 'theories' about what people think. She puts plenty of flattery in it towards the other person, too, so people will like what they hear. It's truly uttery manipulative, insideous and completely bonkers.
Daisy, my Nana died when I was 15, so there is no particular reason to send the photos now, and there was no note with them or anything. She has been sending me or my DS things of this nature since I started trying to withdraw from herr control (toys, poems from my childhood etc) I know it might seem innocent enough but where my mother is concerned you just can't take anything at face value.
Heyho!
Fudge I think you should go. You are only 21 once!
Obs/ Daisy can you guys check wether you have my DS's left shoe?
