PRETENDER:

actor, charlatan, deceiver, fake, faker, fraud, hypocrite, imitator, impostor, phony

 

Please don't lie to someone who trusts you, someone you have asked to trust you, asked to love and believe in you.  Don't lie to someone who holds and heals you.  Don't use them and strip their goodness away.  They will never be the same.

One Woman's Truth

“What would happen if one woman told the truth about her life?  The world would split open.
-Muriel Rukeyser

 

Each of us has a truth of our own buried deep inside, a boundless sea of thought, feeling, emotion, upon which our outward persona sails, dark and stormy, calm and flowing, these are the currents that give us life. We humans are as fragile as any ship ever built and exposing our inner selves is not something we do naturally, an evolutional safety. Once or twice in a life time we may meet someone we feel safe enough with to open our harbor gates and let our true selves flow. It is both a thrilling and frightening voyage, and when it happens, changes us forever.

Being betrayed by someone you trust, changes you even more.

A story of betrayal is never just one story for betrayals don't come that way, they develop from a long legacy of betrayals. The person capable of betraying is incapable of certain thoughts and emotions, and operates from a deficit of character, predictably scripted by a scarcity of human bonding, repeated lacks of nurturing and acceptance.

When our reality has been shattered, we lose all faith and belief in ourselves, in life and the world around us. The one thing we all have, that no one can ever take away from us, is our truth.

Valentine's Day for a Narcissist

Valentines Day is a busy day for narcissists and serial adulterers. Like all the other holidays, it is a chance for them to secure their much needed narcissistic supply - to "earn points" and groom new victims.  It is in their DNA to to so - to capitalize on the innocence and good will of others.  They could not resist if they tried.  

Ahhh, but therefore - they are predictable and discoverable. If you know what to look for.

The narcissist who defrauded his way into my life is a perfect example. I am sure he was thinking all week end about who he would call on Monday to "just check in" and wish a Happy Valentine's Day. Of course, this would be more than one woman. In fact it would be just about any women he came into regular contact with.

There are the women he visits and talks to in the offices of the businesses he deals with - because they might feed him information and be sympathetic if he ever needs anything. There are the wives and/or girlfriends of acquaintances and business associates.  He had a very intentional proclivity for "developing" relationships with older men.  Not just any men, they had to be wealty or influential in some way, always. These men's wives were always a target for him to, also systematically, try and become their friend. 

And who to visit.
