We haven't talked in some years. It's been as painful being separated from her as it was remaining in our complicated relationship as survivors of different motherlodes of horrendous abuse by way of the same perpetrator in my father.

But I feel quite blessed to have had the opportunity to read the posts of many on here, of Underground and other Ns who in essence are able to say here many things I don't think my sister would 'fess to anywhere, and it has absolutely helped me to foster a better understanding of the reasoning behind what she does. I already have a lifelong, incurable, natural and absolute adoration and empathy for her, if not her entire gamut of behaviors; the better understanding I've gotten here may indeed be the missing piece, to help towards my potentially allowing both her and myself our respective foibles at least in the context of our relationship, so that we can move forward, and for that I'm thankful. (But for which I really don't expect to be liked or anything. )

Personally, I'm glad that people actively express both their approval and their dissent here, with the ways that others may personify aspects of a personality construct; no doubt it can be cathartic and enlightening for all involved, since it's a conversation likely few of us are going to have IRL in quite the same way.

Best regards to all
Ok let me clear some of the smoke so people understand what I am trying to say. I have no problem with the "other than NPD" people coming here to learn or try to understand. I have offered my advice to nons here quite a few times. I just don't appreciate the ones who come to argue or to judge based on their own experiences. I do believe that many can learn from what is written and that is a good thing. When I say I don't care, it is to the ones who just have nonsense to say. Hopefully it's better understood as I know at times my writings go all over the place. BTW love the best regards at the end!!!

Sincerely,
Underground
Thanks for this!
