My bosses wife just gave birth to a boy. Surely he didn’t marry a malignant narcissist just because she very likely posted photos of her belly while pregnant, as MANY women do.
A lot of you here do not have children, and neither do I. That said, I’m always thrilled when I I hear of a family lovingly bringing in a child who is planned, wanted, and loved.
I sometimes think about how my boss, his wife and their family are really into this experience. Falling in love with their newborn, more and more as each day passes. I’m really happy for them both, and surely it’s an experience that most of us who haven’t had children, can even imagine.
I DO imagine it for others, however, and I’d like to remind you all that regardless of what type of childhood we had, not one of us would be here today, had some mug cradling frau not given birth to us.
Life is truly a beautiful miracle, and all of us, including myself, should take a moment to consider this, every now and again.
For those on DL suffering from misogyny, remember that fear, anger & hatred depletes YOU of appreciating how randomly special you are as well. It deprives you of experiencing self love, and NO, no one is a narcissist just because they love themselves. There’s a huge lie out there telling us we shouldn’t love ourselves, when indeed, we should. I’m older, & I’m just finally starting to appreciate myself in a way I’ve never truly understood before, as I should have all along.
RIP to someone who was special, & her unborn child, too.
Bash me all you want, DL. I’ve been here long enough to not give a shit.
