It’s been a while since I last visited these pages as things have been going well but tonight revealed a side of someone that wasn’t what I expected at all. Let me elaborate…… From my last post you may recall my car show narcissist who was always in my face and gave me the silentContinue reading “Healed my body, broke my heart”

And soon it begins again…
Hi everyone, hope you have been well this past winter and stayed safe and warm. Thought I would check in and give you an update on life with the narcissist; fortunately I have very little contact with him. He still continues to be confusing – friendly one day, cruel the next. When I last checkedContinue reading “And soon it begins again…”
Time to write again
Where did the last two years go? I haven’t written much during the pandemic but I believe we all got lost in the fog these past few years. Now that the world is hopefully getting back to normal, it’s time to write again. I wanted to fully explore my relationship with the narcissist in myContinue reading “Time to write again”
It has been a while
I haven’t written anything since last March just weeks before the pandemic shut the world down and, as everyone else, my focus was diverted elsewhere and away from the narcissist even though he has been a constant presence in my life. I have been working on more post ideas and will be publishing them shortly.Continue reading “It has been a while”
I have been trying to do the impossible
Since my ill-fated romance with the narcissist ended three years ago (has it been that long?), I have read so many books on narcissism, breakups, recovery – I have gobbled them up while drinking far too many cups of coffee but still not found a solution or even a few nuggets of wisdom to helpContinue reading “I have been trying to do the impossible”
You can’t talk to a narcissist
The other day I wrote about how I kicked my narcissistic ex-lover to the curb. Today I felt a tiny bit bad (silly me) and reached out. Because I am the president of our social club, I didn’t want to use my power so to speak to keep him from coming to club meetings orContinue reading “You can’t talk to a narcissist”
I kicked him to the curb today
I haven’t written for a while but wanted to get back to it again. I was going to tell you the story of how we first got involved but after I wrote the first few blogs of how our feelings started to develop, I found I just couldn’t relive those days anymore. Today I hadContinue reading “I kicked him to the curb today”
The long winter got a little shorter….
Once my classic car had been put in storage for the long winter, my small hatchback became my daily driver. I loved that little car and still do. At one of our first car shows together, I had admired the lovely wooden storage box Ian had in his trunk – compartmentalized for cans of cleaner, bottlesContinue reading “The long winter got a little shorter….”
His name is Ian
His name is Ian. I use the term ‘is’ and not ‘was’ because he is still very much a part of my life as we both belong to the same classic car group and that is how I met him. I still remember the first time I saw him. A few years older than me,Continue reading “His name is Ian”
It wasn’t supposed to be like this…
So how did I get here? I was married for just over 34 years to a wonderful man I met in university. He was a workaholic though, even through his schooling – many a night we couldn’t go out on a date because he wanted to stay home and type up all of his classContinue reading “It wasn’t supposed to be like this…”
A grieving heart does strange things…
Looking for the light… It’s been a long road since I lost my husband just over six years ago to a sudden and totally unexpected illness. My journey through grief has been slow and steady and I have been making good progress in creating a new life while honouring the past I had with him.Continue reading “A grieving heart does strange things…”
Who am I?
My name is Elizabeth. Thanks for stopping by to read my musings as I recover from the loss of my husband of 34 years and the subsequent betrayal by a man who took advantage of my vulnerability.
