I've had some really bad run in's with my NPD mom and my BPD sister (yeah, having 2 people with personality disorders in a family is not uncommon from what I have read. My family traits back this up.
I have just gone NC with family (and I have a big one) as they were really starting to act out with some pretty crazy stuff. I know it's hard at first, and everytime I think of them, I literally feel sick to my stomach. I haven't yet had a phone call from them which is unusual for them...this is how it starts, then they get mad that I haven't called and even more pissed when I tell them to leave me alone and have to hang up the phone on them (that is always the hardest part for me). I know it gets easier over the months and this is the hardest time for going no contact. I can't have any contact because my family has a nasty built in grapevine system, not even the nice people. I hope that makes sense. Can anyone relate?

I feel like a cold hearted b#tch a lot of times, but I am firm in the belief that we don't need to have anything to do with our family of origin. when they are abusive to us, harass us and generally make us miserable there is no reason to have any contact with them. I do not believe in the saying blood is thicker than water. I surround myself with people who support me and uplift me. that is not my family. good luck staying out of that grapevine.

I would suggest you change your phone number. I know that is a lot of trouble and all for your friends, etc, but it would keep you from having deal with their calls. I, too, have family that are on my no contact list. Good luck to you.

Thanks for the validation and support. Doing okay so far, no contact is working good. Home phone cannot be changed as I live in a hotel with a switchboard (long story) but I love it here and the price is right.
I think I'm just going to have to put my big girl pants on and say no contact as suggested in the replys. Thank you both so much, when I feel weak, I will come back here and reread the posts to me!

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
