~How The Tables Have Turned~

Hey y'all! So a lot has changed since the last time I was here. My oldest daughter had another little one, this time it's a girl! The Lord has blessed me so much and I'm so grateful for that. She's also getting married in October! She found her special person and I'm so happy for them! The Lord has also opened my eyes to who I'm married to...a narcissist. I'm so grateful for this eye opening as well, the Lord has been showing me I AM WORTH MORE THAN THIS! Ever had a narcissist in your life? I pray not...but if so I'll be sharing more on them soon to help you see their true colors. My suggestion is to RUN from them. Come join me on my Healing Journey!

I’ m so glad to see you back here, and what a blessing to have another precious child in your life. I’m sorry though, to hear of what has turned out to be with your husband. You are definitely worth being treated the absolute best.

@AmbiePam I'm so glad to be here! Yes, she's such a little blessing. Her name is Talia-Rose. Thank you so much, the abuse has been happening for 20 years. Now that I have realized what it is I'm dealing with, I will heal from this. I can't wait to see what God has in store for me & my babies!

Yes, there were a couple in my family and once I realized it I 'divorced' my sibling ..... what a relief that was.

@rebelann I COMPLETELY understand! The games/lies/pain they cause is unbelievable so it's best to stay away from them.

@rebelann Johnny has been found out for years by friends that we are close to, he's not good at all at hiding his ways anymore. Lol. But he was VERY charming when we were dating and first together. He tricked me 100% into believing he was prince charming.

Exactly. Isn't it funny that often they can charm their friends so that most don't even notice their narcissism.

@LadyDuck Yes!! He "fakes" helping others to make himself look like a hero but his true intentions aren't from the heart or genuine by far. He brags about what he's done so clearly it isn't selfless.

I have wondered how you were doing. I know you have that wonderful photography business and I knew about the two little ones. Be safe, and sheltered and walk the healing path.

Oh gosh I am so sorry to hear your husband turned out to be a narcissist. My mother I am sure if one! Yes awful to deal with. Being married to one would be horrible! How old is your daughter that has two babies? I knew you had quite a few kids but it’s been so long I still picture your boys as being babies and I am sure they are no longer.

@LovingMyBabies you just now realized that he was a narcissist or you just finally decided to open up and tell us? Hugs to you either way! I know how much you love your kids I bet you love being a grandmother too.

@shaggin It was like the Lord ripped the blindfold off of my eyes actually. I knew things weren't normal or healthy with how he made me feel, but I didn't know the depth until recently when the Lord showed me! I absolutely ADORE being a Grandma!!

@shaggin Thank you, I hate it too. I'm so so sorry your mother is one, it's awful for sure. I've been living with this for 20 years. My daughter is 18, she has a 19 month old and a 6 day old baby. She's about to be married in October, and her fiance is going to adopt her son. She found the right person for her! My youngest boys are 7 and 8 now. =)

Hi, I haven’t seen you on here for years! Sorry to hear how things have been with your husband. From what I remember you had, what I considered, an unusual relationship, but you seemed happy and guided by God. God obviously misled you back then, so I hope he is kinder to you in the future.

@Orson_Kart It's not the Lord's fault I didn't choose to wait on who He had for me to marry-someone who wouldn't hurt me like this. He does give free will and I chose someone who wasn't good for me. Thank you, I'm working on saving money and leaving this all behind me.

It's so good to see you here and congratulations on your newest baby girl. Your daughter must have her hands full with two little ones. Sorry to hear that you have been going through such personal struggles regarding your husband. My daughter was married to a narcissist and finally got out of that marriage a few years ago. She's still going through her healing journey and I wish you well Jennifer.
