I've got one! I have an N brother. The hardest part for me is trying to teach my 10-year-old son about compassion and grace while "interacting" with my...
Cindi, I know he is your brother and everything, but if he is that difficult and ungrateful why bother to buy him a present at all? I mean, if your gifts are...
I'm here. I don't have any issues at the moment so haven't had anything to chatter about. But I'm always here and ready to join in if anybody else wants to...
Hi Pam, Gift giving with my N-bro has been a tricky situation my whole life. There have been years, like you suggest, where I've just skipped giving...
I am 52 years old and never knew what was a N until a few months ago. I destroyed my life from not knowing this... All I can say to you lucky young ones on...
Cindy, WTH??? I have to think that his gift ideas are just as crazy as the rest of his thinking. So I'm wondering, why do you bother at all with him? What's...
I don't think this is an especially active group, but it's a very caring group. I find that somebody always responds when someone posts. I like it here....
How about adding Eid Al Adha to that since it is occurring right now? :o} For those who do not recognize it, that is the Muslim holiday which can be translated...
Not so silly mom, I honor every word you spoke in your post. It's very scary to consider allowing our children access to those we know are N's. My 16 year...
Hello Sherry, Thanks for sharing a little holiday education. I don't know about anybody else, but I hadn't even heard of Eid Al Adha, let alone had a clue of...
Hi Cindy, (sorry I spelled your name wrong the first time!) I think it is wonderful that you take the attitude that you do and I highly commend you for it!...
Like you, I am 52 also. I didn't know what NPD was until I married my husband nearly 4 years ago and I have since paid the price. If I had known then what I...
Absolutely Sherry - a very happy Eid Al Adha to you! That is a nice tradition - helping less fortunate people like that. Do you get an actual holiday for it?...

Hi Rachel, Don't worry, you weren't "in my face" and you certainly didn't say anything that my husband and I haven't said to each other many times. What's in...
Thanks for asking. There are two major Islamic religious holidays, of which Eid Al Adha is considered the most important one. In fact, sometimes it is called...
Bright Blessings to you too!! I hope you don't mind me asking but are you Wiccan? I have a couple of email friends who are Wiccan also. I am English and...
Hello Cindy, Distance does wonders. I moved 2400 miles away from my N-FOO and it's worked a little like magic for me. I have a phone relationship with my ...
howdy, yes if pushed to box myself in i am wiccan i suppose. "do what you will but harm no one." to harm no one includes harming oneself as well... i lean...
Hi All, I haven't poster here for years, but I've recently repaired a website I created from quotes on boards similar to this one (with permission from the...

Hello Net, It is true - so many people fall into the holiday blues largely because of the extended family that they spend their time with. The whole thing can...
