I think I am ready to be the parent I by the Grace of God and hard work I was to our children.  I guess it started with fake it till you make it.  I had no idea what I was getting into when I had them but took each moment and opened my heart to them.  Twenty plus years later they have taught me others can be safe if I choose wisely and have healthy boundaries.  For the first time in my life, I want friends and a community. 

Thanks for sharing everyone!

Hi! 
Thanks for moving the Pete Walker Book to where it belongs.  There is a ton of information and I am not that experienced with an online forum especially for a book club.  If someone has some suggestions I am glad to have them.  I hope people feel free to jump in and comment.  I hope I can find whatever it is that I am looking to find.  Open hear tna open mind!

Hi! 
I am new here too.  A little older, married 23yrs, three normal almost all adult kids YEAH!  but my mom is a covert narc.  Very sneaky but damaging non the less.  Left home too early ended up being married to worse but ended pretty fast.  I want to heal and feel safe to be me like my children do.

Hi.
I wanted to introduce myself.  I am a 52, no contact daughter of a Narc mom who had five kids.  I have been NC for about two years.  My husband who is a retired combat vet has PTSD.  After he returned from his last tour, our kids started growing up and I stopped allowing myself to be walked over things have been challenging, to put it mildly.  I just ordered  Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving after finding this site and lurking a bit.  I have a feeling I will be need some support. 
Any takers, or suggestion from a solid trail guide?   

Thanks, Thumper
