Help With My First “Cease and Desist”

Does that make me a “real” writer now? Huh, huh, does it? Got my first Cease and Desist this week. I just might have it framed! Seriously though, it’s a sad state of affairs when I find myself obliged to go to an attorney to defend myself against my own…

A Narcissist Drove Me to OCD…then Forbade It

Without my OCD stress relief, I knew I’d explode. Dad’s rages drove my stress level off the charts. Then he forbade dermatillomania, my only stress relief. It was torturous! And I wasn’t the only one in agony. Once upon a time, there was a happy little family. A narcissistic Daddy…

Hello Narcissist. Goodbye Normalcy.

When did it happen? When did life flip upside-down? When did normalcy flee? When was my last day as a normal human being? Ah, common sense, alas, I never knew thee. Luckily, “normal” is my husband’s middle name. By marrying him, I finally got to live like everyone else. What…

Dude! I’m Your Daughter, Not Your Wife!

Cringe-worthy. Kinda weird. Definitely uncomfortable. But also, flattering. My emotions ran this gamut every Tuesday and Sunday evening, the times Dad demanded I schedule to be spent, alone, with him. Playing music together. Gossiping about his wife/my mother to me. Pawing, I mean, patting me. On the one hand, I…

When a Narcissist “Gets Religion,” You Get Screwed!

Beware the religious narcissist. They speak with the omniscient voice of God. Wield the sword of His judgment. Brandish the rod of His power. They wear the mantle of His righteousness. They goin’ straight to Heaven, baby. And you, you back-slidden heathen? Well, you ain’t! Exploitation of Holy Scripture is at its finest when you give a narcissist a Bible. In fact, all cult leaders have narcissistic tendencies. You can take it to the bank!

I’m Just Teasing! You’re Too Sensitive. Toughen up!

Narcissists have mean, nasty tongues. Duh! Unfortunately, the social convention of “niceness” puts a cramp in their style. Plan B: Couch the meanness in humor. It’s called teasing. Now they can be as mean as they want, with plausible deniability. They ain’t dun nuthin’. You’re just too sensitive. As far…

Why Can’t I Cry? The Importance of Self-Compassion

I’ve got the leakiest tear ducts on the planets. Seems like I’m always sniffling about this or weeping about that. If it’s not adorable videos of babies making my eyes well up, it’s videos of ecstatic dogs welcoming their master home from serving overseas. Any sentimental YouTube video can get…

You’re SO Emotional!

If I had a dollar for every time I heard, “Lenora, you’re SO emotional,” I’d be a rich woman today. Were you subjected to this denigration too? Does it ring any bells? If Grandsire Triples are going off in your bell tower, my sympathies. …

Denial, Denial, Denial: The Bane of My Existence

I’m never alone. Denial is my constant companion. She wakes me in the morning, stays close by my side all the day and sings me to sleep at night. I’m never free of her. Never alone. Never totally at peace. Did you ever watch Frank Capra’s masterpiece It Happened One…

Love Makes It So Confusing

In some ways, this “healing thing” would be so much easier if I hadn’t felt so loved. Yes, truly loved. The juxtaposition of love versus abuse is so confusing I can feel the pressure building inside my skull each time I think about it. In some ways, this “healing thing”…
