It has been a while since I have been on here but I have been thinking lately about how grateful I am to have had his site for support over the years. I have been out of Oz within my romantic life for almost 8 years now, and my BPD/NPD caregiver died almost a year ago, so most of those ties for me are severed. However, the pain still lingers from time to time in the form of triggers. I am pretty good at diffusing them now but do still rely on support and I am grateful for this place to come as needed to both give and receive what I need to keep balance in my life. And... . to remind me once in a while that although the yellow brick road is shiny, and the poppies smell wonderful, and the gleam of the city is sparkly... . it just isn't a place I want to be
