By special request - from a Meanie - some general topics we talk about a lot....is it GIVING or is it MANIPULATION????   When we are codependent and  have little self-esteem, we have to think about this.  We're talking about giving, getting involved with "project people" and fixer uppers, boundaries, self-esteem and narcissists. 

I've gotten this question since before GPYB was published. What if I can't get over it?  What if I never stop crying? 

This came from a Meanie request to check out the MTV show "Ghosted" and to talk about that. It's just another term for BS behavior is what it is. 

In this episode it's a preview of the stalking material. Stalking is an epidemic and police departments are woefully undertrained in dealing with it. I have gotten emails from listeners around the world telling me about different cases. I think it's important to understand the epidemic that is stalking. 

Boundaries keep us safe and tell the world you deserve to be treated this way and not that way. It's very clear that sometmes all about us are losing their heads and blaming it on us.Sometimes we must explain that we're not explaining. Healthy boundaries are respected by healthy people.  Unhealthy people challenge and lose their heads over it.

Even though I've done A LOT of podcasts on the personality-disordered, I keep getting new reminders that getting past it and not becoming a victim AGAIN is a difficult task.  So I have spent some time going over some things to think about - and the differences between my first absolutely insane marriage and my wonderful second marriage and the road I took to get there - in between.  More education on narcissists.

In this episode I answer questions about my dysfunctional parents, NC, behaving your feelings and how to not be so desperate you put up with nonsense. 

This episode is talking about how the Facebook group works and how people play with the program and how boundaries and tough love work. I use 3 different stories and then MY story - to illustrate how the program works and how it's supposed to work.
