Twisting in the Wind
Hi Twisting,
Just wanted to say I think the comments you make are spot on.
and the name you have chosen is evocative - it is a feeling of being left to twist in the wind.
That is what I wish I could say to those who stay in the MOMs - that is where they end up. Invariably, imo. My mother was 80 years old and frail when she left my narcissistic father. Emotionally it was like she drew a warm blanket around her soul in the doing.

Re: Twisting in the Wind
Hi Lily,
Thanks for the kind words. It is certainly a cold, cold place to be in. A warm blanket would be nice.
