A few weeks ago my 14 year old daughter told me she was bisexual. I hugged her and told her thank you for telling me. Today I wished her a happy #bivisibilityday. She laughed and thanked me. Love your kids for who they are.

Today I said my goodbyes to my daughter, dropping her off at her first year at boarding school. I am sad. My house will be empty. I'll be more alone than ever. But I'll work through it. One foot in front of the other. I made her a playlist. open.spotify.com/playlist/4Z7...

Music Friday! The return. I've listened to AC/DC for over 40 years. While I respect Brian Johnson, I am more of a fan of the Bon Scot years. For me, the greatest album they put out was the live If You Want Blood, You've Got it. This is that concert. Amazing to see. youtu.be/ZhFkEXI3Zcg?...

Tinnitus Calmer is a great app for this. You can customize the sounds. For example: a forest with a campfire and rain, and add pink noise in the background. As is Insight Timer for meditation, and you can add pink noise in the background as well.

Father's day with no father left to celebrate. I miss you dad. Father's day without my girl, she's with her mom, but she stopped by yesterday to drop some things off. Still sad, though. Spent the day sleeping in, gardening and starting the marvel universe movies. Just another day alone.

I missed #worldnarcissiticsbuseawarenessday #WNAAD yesterday. Narcissistic abuse is not as well known as it should be. There are so many suffering out there from this very harmful abuse. If you think you are a victim, reach out to your local support provider. You are not alone. wnaad.com

Alcohol and drugs had always dominated concerts for me. We would start early in the day and go all night. Concerts sober are such a better experience. Mostly because I actually remember the shows instead of them being a blurred haze of noise.

More music Friday! Excellent progressive doom metal. These guys were my first #sober concert after treatment. I was so nervous I must have drank 3 pots of coffee that day. But the venue was accommodating and made me coffee, even though it was a small bar. youtu.be/omZx1uCQh2Y?...

This is a validating study. I do hope the AMA recognizes that #CPTSD should be in the DSM. Maybe then more diagnoses can happen, support would be more widely available, and treatment more effective. drive.google.com/file/d/1Ck3m...

I did a whole chapter in my book about fault and responsibility as it pertains to forgiveness. I forgive what is not their fault, but do not have to forgive if there is no acceptance of fault, nor change in behaviour. I can live with that and no contact.

Oh, they are absolutely victims. Typically due to how they were treated as children. I can forgive my mother for what was not her fault: her own abusive childhood. However, I will not forgive her for the abusive behaviour towards me and my sister, because she won't take responsibility for it.

...sputter, become angry or rageful. They will even try to turn the lies towards you, saying hurtful, untrue things about your behaviour. Recognize that confronting someone with NPD with their lies will not go as you expect, even with facts. Denial, deflection, and anger is all you'll get.

Unlike a pathological liar, who lies seemingly without intent and at random, someone with NPD will lie as part of their false identity; it hides their true self. My mother would often get caught in her lies, then tell even more lies to cover up the first lies. Exposure causes them to flail and...

The #narcissist 's lies. To maintain their false self-image, someone with #NPD will lie often to maintain that image. It's not pathological, it's with intent and forethought. When they fear exposure, the lies will become more blatant and obvious, even when confronted with evidence to the contrary

I was a surveyor assistant when I helped upgrade this section of highway 30 years ago. It runs through a long stretch of quagmire. Not surprising. The melting permafrost is devastating highways throughout the Yukon. Massive frost heaves and flooding happens alot more.
