Hello

[Aussie]

I have learned that my ex mother in law was a full blown sociopath and that she was intent on destroying me during the entire time I was married to her daughter.  During those twenty years, I almost lost track of who, and how, I was. Now I am doing EMDR therapy and trying to put the pieces back together. I'd like to turn the clock back twenty years and avoid what happened but I can't.

Hopefully, talking with people and hearing their stories will help.

Cheers!

Welcome to Out of the FOG, Aussie.  I am sorry for all you've enduring with your m-I-l, but so glad to hear you are in therapy and putting the pieces back together.  We get that here at Out of the FOG.

Reading the traits, behaviors and toolbox is so helpful in deepening our understanding of the Pd's in our lives as well as invalidating our experience.  The what to do, what not to do is also instrumental in navigating through the relationships. 

Peruse the forums, take a deep breath, know you are not alone.  See you on The boards!
