@Bunniekins yeah, ex girlfriend, after she dumped me for my "selfish and gutless" actions in trying to escape this planet. One of the many ripples, consequences of surviving.

@Bunniekins well I'm glad you're still here and everyone else who's thought about and or survived. Knowing the grief, damage and pain I've caused I'll never try it again. Quite a lesson to learn as well, seeing all the emotion, all the grief, all the pain and suffering I've caused, the chain of events I triggered was more than life changing it felt like the apocalypse at first.

@Bunniekins We all need a caring, understanding, patient and forgiving soul, especially when life and bad people have damaged us. The thing I need to learn is to not sacrifice myself, speak up if something upsets me or I don't agree with, rather than giving my queen everything she wants at the cost of myself. Gotta love the scars from being married to a narcissist for 17 years.

@Former-Member wow my mental health nurse once said to me she would rather deal with a psychopath than a narcissist! wow you did well lasting so long! "speak up if something upsets me or I don't agree with, rather than giving my queen everything she wants at the cost of myself. " yes it is a juggling act isnt it. relationships can be hard at the best of times but sometimes you just have to take a gamble and jump in!
