All about one of my favorite professors, Jan Worth-Nelson. Love her, miss her. I hope she publishes her poetry collection one day.

Personality Disorder: Narcissistic Personality Disorder
The Core Characteristic of Emotional Abuse in the Personality Disordered Parent
“It is no exaggeration to state that children of a PD parent are considered by that parent to be a possession, or commodity, to be used in the service of the PD parent’s ego. Whereas the average parent instinctively knows that they are responsible to be emotionally supportive to their child so that the child can grow into a healthy adult, the PD parent demands that the child emotionally support, nourish, and protect the parent. Relationship, support, and deference only can go in one direction: from child to parent.”
Packin’ Day/Island Bound
Today, in addition to the same ole same ole dishes and laundry, I gotta get packed because we are going up to Mackinac Island. Yay! My husband’s friend Kwame was asking, “Why you guys always go up there?” –because it is our place! It one place I can relax and be in the moment. It rejuvenates me up there.
So we are leaving tomorrow God willing, and we have 2 nights at the Grand. Yes, two nights!! My plans are to relax and enjoy the hotel. Unfortunately I have been fighting a nasty cold or some kind of infection. I hope it disappears by tomorrow…or at least is on its way out. I’d like to be able to taste my expensive dinner, ha. I am going to load up on the medications.
I may check out the library if it is open…and I was thinking about going to church on the Island. The Little Stone Church is near the Grand and I may go see how the service is there. I haven’t been to church in a while and I feel like church service on the Island would be an experience.
Yikes! I really gotta get to it. I need to get this house in order (I have like 6-8 loads of laundry to do-YIKES!), pack, then pick up dry cleaning and go to the store. I will probably have to pack for my nephews too–they are going with their dad. I must, absolutely must, work in a nap sometime today also.
Oh yeah, crap! I need to comb the cat, clean or change the litter, clean the bird cage…maybe go to the post office…
UGH!
Can’t wait to get on the Island and chill.
