Nephew was doing better today, although slightly jaundiced still. Seems to be digesting his food a lot better. SIL got to hold him today for an hour.

They have chosen a name: Noah. Love it! :-)

startingovernow · 05/09/2010 20:44

Oh Tea, I absolutely love the name & that is fantastic news Smile. Hope you are feeling a bit better now ((Hugs))

Just coming back from ice cream. Starting, if your laptop is dying may I suggest posting from a phone. And same for all. Means you could post mid date which of course is essential.

startingovernow · 05/09/2010 21:37

Happy, posting from phone is most likely beyond my capabilities Confused. Well, can we please have your thoughts, details etc about music man Grin

OP posts:
Patienceobtainsallthings · 05/09/2010 21:45

Be back later for music man goss just posted on narcs thread re X read an article that says you may be left with PTS ie shock/bereavement when you leave a narc relationship.

Top banana Tea ,great news !

startingovernow · 05/09/2010 22:08

Patience, I actually really think I had either PTS or was left suffering from severe shock after my discoveries about xh & then subsequent violence etc. Will wander about & try to find you post ((Hugs))

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 05/09/2010 22:48

Ok well is strange really.

I don't fancy music man (my criteria are hair, not penniless and gorgeous) and, whilst he's a v nice guy, he doesn't tick enough of those boxes. But we do have fun at our lessons and they do seem to be longer lessons than most have.

So basically what happened is that he called and said that he enjoyed our chat at lesson yesterday and that he thought he would phone me to talk. Ooer. I said that as a Dumpling I was always looking to maximize chatting opportunities so that was fine. He then chatted a bit, I had to go and he asked could he call back. So am expecting more chat soon. All a bit weird. I am frightened now. A bit strange also as is well known to DCs.

WWYD?

Patienceobtainsallthings · 05/09/2010 22:52

If you like him green light.... if you don't red light or you could be an amber gambler!

Patienceobtainsallthings · 05/09/2010 22:53

Makes mental note to stop using X's patter

notfallingforhischARMBOW · 05/09/2010 22:54

hello all...

just caught up on all posts.

tea - still thinking about your nephew xx love the name.

starting - v pleased about norm he sounds really lovely.

patience - sorry you got upset, remember its a journey.. you are so strong, you will be fine! Smile

happy - waiting for more gossip on music man.

getting - thanks for your concern - i am fine Wink

feeling very tired so been getting lots of early nights, feeling numb about h's audacity in the way in which he is conducting himself nowadays, he really is ticking every mlc box, it is embarrassing Hmm

i now know what ow looks like and i am left feeling quite inadequate tbh.

still in the mindset of "if i was prettier... if i was funnier.... if i was more interesting... he would love me more" i suppose.

over the past few days i have just wanted to cry ... i am left feeling ugly and frumpy.

on the outside of course i am a pillar or serenity - i just wish i felt it inside Sad

Patienceobtainsallthings · 05/09/2010 22:58

AB you will have your new house soon and moving forwards all the time big hugs because it does truly suck ,but you will find better when the time is right for you ,are you coming to the meet up?

notfallingforhischARMBOW · 05/09/2010 23:02

yes i will be at the meet up really looking forward to it.

over the last couple of days i have been weaning myself off h - really and truly and it is really really hard.

there is a chance my house sale might fall through but my moving out does not depend on this ifyswim. i could still move out when i planned and h would move back into family home until it is sold. is this a really bad idea - it would require an amount of trust from me that he would sell it. wwyd?

notfallingforhischARMBOW · 05/09/2010 23:04

happy - if you like him go for it. simples Wink

Patienceobtainsallthings · 05/09/2010 23:10

Can Sol make him sign something?If not I wouldnt trust myX at all but i dont know about you,could you rent it out.I wouldnt take the risk if ur X is seeing someone else ie worse case scenario i would keep control.im fucked if im letting some bird in my cottage if my landlords deal falls thru.Dont mean to be blunt, sorry if that is upsetting 2U AB x

notfallingforhischARMBOW · 05/09/2010 23:12

don't worry patience - it is my fear too - moving out of here is soooo important to me for my recovery. but i know that if i go and he moves in then i am on a very shaky footing.

Patienceobtainsallthings · 05/09/2010 23:18

Legal advice is what i would be doing tomorrow AB ,goodluck x

Patienceobtainsallthings · 05/09/2010 23:36

Huge beatle in the kitchen at least 5cm ,quite fast but seems a bit lost ,just going round in circles x

pinksmarties · 05/09/2010 23:58

Hi all, I'll catch up tomorow, but Patience, I'll trade you your 5cm beatle for my 7cm slug (yes I did measure it) YUK

soverign21 · 06/09/2010 00:23

hey everyone

I've been getting stronger in myself lately then had an incident friday with XP which put me right back
he was 15 mins late to see DC and even though i keep saying i wont call him i did and asked where he was and he snapped at me so i thought great he in a bad mood, when he arrived he was really aggresive in the way he spoke to me and i said if he didnt like me being annoyed he was 20 mins late he could leave...so he did. DC were very upset and as he left he called me a slag, which reminded me of the mood swings when he was here so i text him saying the only one he was hurting was the DC NOT me. texts flew back and forth and he just came back, no warning just walked in, when i went to speak to him he cut me off with dont fu**g speak to me so i went upstairs, came down 15 mins later for cig and he asked how much dinner DD would take then asked where the bit was for my curtain pole (DC had broke it earlier in the week and i hadnt fixed it yet) so i said in the basket where i usually stick stuff, then he disappeared, i went upstairs looking for him and when i came back he was fixing the pole so politely i told him to stop said if i wanted him to fix it i would ask, so he said the suns in his eyes and DC's doesnt he get a say so i told him no not with things in my home
Took myself upstair to take a shower just got undressed and heard voices outside when i looked out DS2 an DS3 (of those ages too) were outside alone, so i wrapped a towel round myself and shouted for XP and said the DC are outside and he said i shouted you to come down so i explained when he was visiting them he should be looking after them and whatever i was doing had nothing to do with him he then threw a tantrum saying they dont want to see him any way and he was leaving, i came down and suggested that they were bored as he didnt do anything with them and maybe thats why they were disinterested he said no they just dont want to see him, he plonked DD on the floor then walked out without saying goodbye DS2 cried for 20 minutes DD wouldnt let me put her down for the rest of the evening, he was here a whole 25 minutes...my head says TWUNT

Later that evening i discover he's on fb, very drunk and down, i message him about a mutual friend as they had said something about me and he was threatening violence to them so i asked him not to do anything on my behalf as i would deal with it myself he said it had nothing to do with what they said to me and we started to discuss the earlier events, i asked for an apology for the name calling, said he didnt say it, told him the DC do want to see him and love him very much, wasnt having any of it
sat for 2 hours trying to convince him otherwise and to drag him out of his depression and all i got was hatred back, i think he was reading my messages as though i was angry at him and i wasnt i was concerned for him and wether he will see the DC
but it left me feeling awful he eventually said he didnt want to talk to me anymore and being upset i asked why he hated me so much, no reply....my heart says you love him stop him hurting

ARRRGGGHHH its driving me insane, im right back to blaming myself and wondering where i went wrong to make him hate me so much and for my life and DC'd lives to end up like this, this is not what i imagined at all

Then today he doesnt come for visit saying he was at hospital with his mate, so text and said see you tuesday at 4...no reply, i text again asking him to confirm or id make other plans then about 9pm (3 hours later) he texts saying he still at hospital and yeah 4pm tuesday is fine but i still feel crap and worried and i cant keep doing this i just want to cry i feel like a bloody yoyo

in a few weeks XSIL is going to pick DC up and return them and act as go between for 4 weeks, XP has no idea of this yet but i want complete blackout, no call, no texts, no messages, no face to face dont think he's going to be very happy about it but i need this space to pull myself together

Am i wrong in doing this??

Sorry its so long havent felt able to post last few days and once i started i couldnt seem to stop
