Post by: Dutch Uncle on June 03, 2016, 11:19:14 AM
Well, I only learned about it today, but it was June 1st: http://ifmywoundswerevisible.com

Never too late to share, IMHO.

:hug: to all who have been victim of Narcissistic Abuse.

Thanks to Narcissists Use Diversion Tactics to Silence You Part II (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9St4Hwflsfk) by Self-Care Haven for informing me about this awareness day.

Best pic IMHO from the twitter feed:

Good question.
I think "Happy Awareness" might be fitting.
For me, having become aware of
1) Narcissism proper
and
2) having become aware I have been subject to Narcissistic Abuse for decades, by multiple offenders
has been facing a very ugly truth, but at least it is starting to make sense.

So I'm happy about my new and/or increased awareness, not about the Narcissistic Abuse.  :Idunno:

Happy Awareness, Dutch Uncle!!!!   :wave: :wave:

Dear artemis23 - I am so sorry for all you are going through.  I have my own pet narcissists too.  Ouch do their bites hurt!!!!! Sigh

Sending you lots of good thoughts to help you set the boundaries you need to set.  Also wishing you care and  affection from other places (especially from yourself to your inner child)

take care,
Steadybowl
