Hello All.....

First and foremost I have no clue what I’m doing here at all. I found you guys by mistake but it seems I maybe in the right place. I will tell what’s going on without trying to trigger anyone. I’m sorry in advance this is a very hard subject to navigate for all of us. I have a partner whom I am deeply in love with. I identify as a cis gender gay ...

I need help. I was in a narcissistic relationship for 20 years but didn’t realize it until the last several years. I was lied to, verbally and emotionally abused, money was taken from me and he invaded my privacy. It came down to him telling me that the FBI is after me and that I have 2 felonies on me. I have never done anything wrong from a legal standpoint.
I found spyware on my ...

I've been with a fellow for five years now. I began to realize 'something is not quite right' within the first year. I just thought he was being the occasional inconsiderate arsehole, but then I began to notice a plethora of other things.

He lost a very close friend and mentor--I never saw him cry. Recently, he lost both of his parents to illness within four months. He did not attend either funeral, but attended ...

I introduced my sister to a guy around 10-11 years ago. We’ll call him Bozo. Bozo impressed her by talking about a lot of esoteric topics and talking down about pharmaceuticals. He claimed he healed miraculously from an accident using only homeopathy and wanted her to think he was powerful. After they parted ways she was convinced he had done black magic in her. Another girl contacted her and they both thought Bozo had done ...

Hello, I'm writing to better understand the difficulties of a loved one.

Are there any resources describing the effect of early loss of parents (not by death, but by drug addiction) and the subsequent departure from home to live autonomously in early adolescence? And, perhaps, how to communicate effectively with somebody who has been through such difficulty?

Thank you. The request is vague, but I am willing and eager to read as much as is ...

I'm new to the forum and thank you for accepting me. I'm hoping I might get some help please.

I have a sister. She hasn't been physically in my life in about a decade. We fell out. We had a row and afterwards she ignored me and behaved like a bull with me. We never patched things up. She was very difficult with me after that row and she brought up other rows from our ...

Hello,

I have been the SO of someone with DID for 10 years, and I have always read the importance of staying neutral when it comes to the inner wars.
But what should a SO do when your loved one is caught up in huge inner wars opposing 2 sub systems : all the protectors vs all the persecutors.
