Really easy and yummy! Definatley follow the other comments of using less butter, first time around they were very oily, but still yummy!
This was very easy to put together. I only added 190g of butter and still found my cases were really oily after baking. Foil cases next time will hide this :) . And I also found there was more than enough mix for 12. Came out well, enjoyed by all. Did my own icing after reading reviews.
Made this today when kids had friends over. I reduced the butter to 200gms in the cakes and next time will cut out another 25gms, I think they will still be super moist. The icing recipe makes loads so I think you could cut that down to 2 cups of icing sugar and 70gms butter as well. Every little bit helps! This was a very easy recipe and will be my 'every day' cupcake recipe from now on. Yummy!
This recipe was great! I had to make a lot of them, so I tripled the recipe.. it made close to 60 in the end i think... i lost track because they were getting eaten so quickly I didn't have time to count! The recipe was easy, but instead of putting it all in a processor I creamed the butter and sugar, slowly added the egg whilst beating, slowly added the milk and flour each after the other until completely combined. Added the vanilla and beated, and then spooned into trays. The icing was delicious as well, I was worried because there didn't seem to be any flavours to it, but it wasn't a problem at all! They were delicious, loved by all and stayed fresh for days!
I love this recipe - very easy! I have also used Gluten Free flour and doubled the recipe to make a slab cake, added 1/2 cup of cocoa to half the mix to make a marble cake, added rasberries and white chocolate to another batch!
Beautiful tasting cupcakes - mine overflowed even though I followed the letter to the gram. I was able to salvage them and as far as cupcakes go, they were very good. (So was the spray on butter cream icing I cheated with - nobody realised)
easy peasy, they DID keep for days and were still delicious. I agree they were a bit too buttery, i amended it for the second batch i did, turned out fine.
Well im 13 years old. and i love baing a cooking and all of that jazz. and this recipie was really easy to make. And i dont think it was buttery. But you guys were right, it is DELICIOUS! evern when you eat it fresh!
These cupcakes were very buttery when you combined the butter content in both the cake and the frosting. Next time I'll try making the icing the non-frosting way. However they did keep very well for longer than I had thought they would. Everyone we gave them to loved the choccy egg on top.
I made these cupcakes last night and they are the yummiest cupcakes I have ever made. Light and gorgeous when eaten fresh. I think the person who said they had too much butter must have put the icing butter in as well because I certainly didnt get that problem. I didnt use the butter icing, I used less butter in the icing and some water, and added strawberry essence for flavour - just divine!
I have just made this recipe and found that there is way way way too much butter in these cupcakes. They are sort of oily and feel like i could ring them out. I prefer cupcake recipes with 125g butter in them.
I love making these cupcakes for any occasion. These are great for morning tea's and birthdays. I didn't have much success with the icing, however overall the cupcake recipe is too easy too make. A firm favourite with friends and family.

Diagnosed with thyroid cancer right after my son was born--turned out to be a more unusual thyroid cancer--Dr. Orth has taken the best care of me for five years. Secretaries and nurses very prompt, caring, helpful--I always get my test results promptly. He shows the greatest care for my family and me, and goes the extra mile to help figure out the best course of treatment for my particular disease. We are immeasurably grateful--I recommend him to anyone.
Poor communicator,and automated lab results are impersonal. I am a nurse who went to Dr. Orth and regret it
Dr. Orth has helped me more than any other diabetic doctor in the many years I've had Type I Diabetes.
I have had Type 1 Diabetes for 49 years and Dr. Orth has helped me more than any other doctor in the past to understand how to deal with this disease. He has always been a great listener and tries to encourage me when I'm discouraged. This is a tough disease to control, but I am in better control than I've ever been now thanks to Dr. Orth's help.
After being referred to see Dr.Orth, his office rescheduled my appointment twice. Now, 2 months after the referral had been made his nurse calls and says that Dr.Orth reviewed my file and he doesn't believe my tests are abnormal enough to warrant seeing him. Thus, he cancelled my appointment saying that "I will be fine." 3 of my thyroid tests came back elevated but obviously not elevated enough to waste his time (sarcasm) Overall, after reading his reviews I am glad he chose not to see me despite the referral because he seems less than competent! For anyone who reads this, do yourself a favor and find a Dr who actually cares about your health and well-being and not wasting his precious time! I am beyond disgusted with him and his office!!
I was referred to Dr Orth after an abnormal thyroid test with my family doctor. At my appointment, Dr Orth said immediately that he did not really believe in treating my thyroid condition (I had been on medicine to treat it for 10 years, mostly successfully) He showed more concern for my blood sugar levels than for my thyroid. OK - I agreed to go off all medicine for 60 days and be retested for blood sugar and thyroid levels. My first test was a 2 hour glucose tolerance test (I did share with Dr Orth a previous diagnosis of Hypoglycemia.)I made it through the 2 hours of the test OK but my blood sugar crashed (despite a meal) about the 3.5 hour mark. The results of this test were delivered to me by recorded message - no opportunity to discuss my experience or what it meant. I was informed to resume my medication and follow up with my family doctor as needed.1 month later I took the thyroid portion of the tests he ordered. I week later, I again received results by a recorded message that the results were in the normal range. I originally went to the doctor because I was feeling very poorly and Dr Orth took away the one medicine that had provided some help over the years with no discussion, explanation or alternative ideas. I now feel even worse. I would have been open to trying lifestyle changes, supplements or anything that might have helped.So end of story - I feel worse that I did before I saw him. My family doctor is now referring me to a Endocrinologist that is a better communicator.Dr Orth is probably fine if you have simple issues that require only standard treatment. He was pleasant and seemed very intelligent.
My blood sugar levels were not very good until I started seeing Dr. Orth.
I waited over an hour after my appointment time, he never asked me why I was there, he assumed a few things that were not mentioned. He never even examined me. I tried to redirect him to the actual problem and he seemed irritated that I had stopped his train of thought, which had nothing to do with why I was there. He mentioned I should be on a particular medicine, but never gave me a prescription. All in all, my regular PCP could have done what he did. I did not see any specialized medicine going on here.
I went to Dr. Orth for a 2nd opinion because I felt my original doctor was only partially correct, but not a specialist for my diagnosis. I did extensive research using the Mayo web site and various others, but felt that Dr. Orth laughed in my face telling me not to believe any of it. He looked at the records I brought in and told me that I didn't have what I was previously told, even though I have almost all of the symptoms and tests confirming it, because the tests weren't done early enough in the morning. He also said that I should doctor shop if I wanted to figure it out. After years of trying to figure something out and getting a diagnosis that made sense, I felt like I totally wasted my time, energy and money on this trip for a second opinion and was very disappointed!
Dr. Orth is a nice guy, but he did three things I found unacceptable:1. He wanted to do a $600-800 needle biopsy on my thyroid that a surgeon had already told me was unnecessary, and which my insurance wouldn't cover. These tests are inconclusive about 1/3 of the time and are basically a money-maker, not a useful test. 2. He uses a very tedious automated system for distributing the results of lab tests. Getting in touch with a nurse is very difficult, and Dr. Orth absolutely does not speak to patients over the phone. I requested a copy of the lab results be mailed to me; the nurse agreed to do so and never did.3. He did not make any effort to treat my symptoms, only my lab numbers. I had persistent symptoms from my condition that, although uncommon, are not rare or unheard of. Dr. Orth insisted these had to be due to an unrelated coexisting condition, but had no interest in figuring out what that was. I had to go back to my primary physician, who then referred me to another specialist, who ended up ordering a lab test that Dr. Orth should have known to order. All this cost me and my insurance about $300 more than it should have.

Narcissistic Mother
As a psychotherapist in private practice, I'm often asked, "What can you do when you have a narcissistic mother?"
It is a poignant question because we're all an extension of our mother in some way or another. You, for instance, may have similar physical features or personality characteristics that make people realize you are a product of your mom.
But, how do you protect yourself when your narcissistic mother, the very woman who gave you life or raised you, demands you provide her with the unconditional, one-way love that she feels entitled to…no matter how she treats you?
When this is the case, your narcissistic mother may see you as something that she created with the hope to have a copy of herself for her own amusement. Or, she may see you as an object, like a piece of luggage that should serve her when she needs it and be out of the away when she does not.
If so, you may have been treated with such disrespect and abuse that makes it difficult for you to develop any sort of real relationship with your mother, let alone feel the love towards your mom that she expects you to give. To the outside world, everything may have appeared perfect, but behind closed doors? That's where the horror was released.
Many a narcissistic mother is aware of her demanding ways and believes everyone should treat her in the fantastical way that she sees herself. She may live in their own little world where her accomplishments, real or fake, are of grand proportions that no one else can live up to.
To this day, her expectations of you may be ever-changing and not truly attainable. If you have a narcissistic mother, you may feel you are never good enough, or that you must compete with your siblings for her approval or affection. And, no matter how much you achieve or strive to accommodate her, you will not measure up to her unrealistic expectations.
Why do narcissistic moms have children?
When a narcissist has a child, it is not for the same reason that others procreate. She does so because she wants that child to satisfy her unmet needs.
These can vary from the need to feel like she will always be loved by you, or the hope she'll be more bonded to her husband by providing a child, or the belief she'll never be alone, or to have the illusion of another chance at life and so on.
Some narcissistic mothers essentially want a real-life extension of themselves, only to be deeply upset about the fact that they did not receive that "mini-me" from you. If, due to being a child, you could not meet her needs, your mother may have withdrawn from you or have become demeaning, critical, and manipulative. In short, it wasn't acceptable for you to be a child because a child is, by its very nature, needy and "perfectly imperfect."
The narcissistic mother's love is typically volatile and conditional. Below are three common roles in which the sons and daughters of narcissistic mothers often find themselves cast.
The roles can be projected by the narcissist onto one sibling then the next and the roles can last for moments or years. Even more confusing, you may have been cast in different roles at different time in your childhood. Read below to try to recall what roles you played and when you were cast.
Lost Child
This role involves a great deal of neglect. Your narcissistic mother was simply not aware of, or interested in, your needs. You could be sent to school with clothing too big or small, dirty, or unmatched.
You may have been teased by other kids because you did not have enough positive attention paid to you at home to know what was socially acceptable behavior. You often felt unlovable or unworthy because you were not treated as inherently valuable.
Scapegoated Child
Nothing you did was ever good enough. What may have satisfied your narcissistic mother one day could disappoint her the next.
If you expressed you felt your mother treated you unfairly, she might have led you to believe that you were crazy and ungrateful. The "love" and "thoughtfulness" she gave you through her constant criticism was to be treasured.
If you did something of value and worth, you may have been cut down and made to believe that your accomplishments had no meaning in your narcissistic mother's eyes. Or, you could have been elevated and bragged about to the point of objectification. (See Chosen, Hero or Golden child below.)
Chosen, Hero or Golden Child
To be the Chosen, Hero or Golden child of a narcissistic mother is usually the complete opposite of the scapegoat child. You are worshipped and idolized by your mother from the moment you are born.
You are the one person in her life that can do nothing wrong and every accomplishment, no matter how small, deserves a parade in her eyes. You're a representation of the best of her, the golden child.
You may become even more important than her spouse in a sometimes provocative and psychologically seductive way.
Lost Child, Scapegoat & Chosen, Hero or Golden Child in a Narcissistic Family System:
Many times, there's a golden child and a scapegoat in the narcissistic family. The golden child is a "favorite" of the mother's choosing. Then there's the scapegoat, the one who gets the blame for everything, the one who can never be as good as the mother or the golden child.
The scapegoat never measures up in the mother's eyes. She can win awards, get good grades, get into a great school, but it goes unnoticed or unacknowledged.
If it's noted, it's usually done so in a way that makes the mother look good, saying that everything the child has learned is because of the mother's parenting efforts.
The Lost Child will sometimes be relieved to hide from the narcissistic mother and at other times be pulled into more attention getting roles.
Why Don't Narcissistic Mothers Change?
Narcissistic moms blame everyone else, and too often their children, for the consequences their own self absorbed choices have caused. It often falls to friends and family members to point out the extreme oddity of the narcissistic mother's ways and recommend treatment. Even when offered help, a narcissist is more likely to be offended than to seek treatment.
Ironically, though the people around the narcissistic mother can identify the source of their suffering, the narcissist does not believe she is the one who should change.
Therefore, it is unlikely your mother sought treatment for narcissism. In contrast, she may have put you in treatment with the hope that you would become easier to deal with.
Children and spouses are the ones who often suffer most, not the narcissist themselves, because the narcissist doesn't feel that their chronically self-absorbed behavior is just that. Quite the opposite, actually. The narcissistic mother feels that everyone else is at fault when things go wrong.
As a child, you had to learn from very early on how to please your mother enough to survive. You may have grown up to think that nothing you ever do is good enough and that you are not worthy of the love you desire.
Narcissism, at its extreme, is a mental disorder called Narcissistic Personality Disorder, (NPD), characterized by exaggerated feelings of self-importance, fantasies of success, power, and physical attractiveness that the person may or may not possess, a constant need for attention and admiration, and obsessive self-interest. These are the obvious symptoms that people think of when they think of the term "narcissism."
There are a cluster of personality disorders, including NPD, that are on the narcissistic spectrum described by the Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) and they include Borderline Personality Disorder as well as Histrionic Personality Disorder.
These disorders describe different chronic behavioral patterns often exhibited by a narcissistic mother who may not even be aware of how she is treating you.
In sum, the first step in dealing with a narcissist is to identify the repetitive hurtful behaviors rooted in how you were cast in the roles identified above. Accept that your narcissistic mother is highly resistant to change. Then, learn how to best respond to her negative behaviors in order to protect your happiness.
Why Narcissists Have Children
Why do narcissists even have kids in the first place?
I'm going to cut straight to the chase on this one. Narcissists do not have children for the same reason that emotionally healthy people do.
They have them because they need more mirrors, more images to remind themselves of how great they are and how they brought someone into the world that is like them.
Unfortunately for the narcissistic parent, this isn't the case 99.9% of the time because as children age, they develop their own sense of self and their own personality apart from their parents. Then they become more of a burden than a blessing on their narcissistic parent.
Some narcissists become parents out of accident or because of an ill-thought out plan they created to have someone there to love and admire them without having to give it back in return.
They're looking for the narcissistic supply which they try to obtain from anyone and everyone. They believe that having a child will give them an endless supply because their child must love them and has to be a part of their lives, while they're young at least.
Narcissists see their kids as someone they can put their name on, a product that they can put out into the world with their branding all over it. They use their children to gain self-esteem and as someone they can easily walk all over. They want their children to take care of them and reverse the roles of how parent-child interactions should be.
Narcissistic parents try to control their children in every facet of their lives.
They try to keep their children from growing up and gaining their own identity, fearing it will lead their children to leave them and go on to live their own lives.
Narcissistic parents try to control their children in four different ways:
- Guilt-driven: They make their children feel guilty and making them feel like a burden on the narcissistic parent. They say things like, "I sacrificed my life, my body, for you…"
- Dependence-driven: The narcissistic parent makes their child feel that they could not go on living without their child in their life. They tell their kids that they need them and that they cannot take care of themselves, their lives, and their well-being by themselves.
- Goal-driven: I like to call this the Tiger Mom Effect. This means that the narcissistic parent, not necessarily the mother (although it usually is), is always striving or making their child strive to be the best no matter what and no matter if the child is truly interested in the goal or not. They live vicariously through their child and ride on the coattails of their achievements. They may say things like, "We have a goal we need to achieve…"
- Explicit: This type of control is based on negative repercussions if their child does not do what they want or say. They withhold rewards and give excessive punishment if they do not get their way. This can be very draining on the child because they feel that they can never do anything right.
Most narcissistic mothers see motherhood as a burden and like to let it be known how much work it is. They do not take into account that children are not merely mirrors of themselves and that they are actual human beings with wants, needs, and feelings different than their own.
They often pick a favorite, or a golden child, who can do no wrong and grows up with unrealistic expectations of praise and worth. They also have children that are the scapegoats, the ones who all the blame is put on and are never worthy enough no matter how great their achievements may be.
They play the children off of each other for their own amusement, which causes riffs between the siblings that may not be mended easily. The narcissistic parent is always comparing the children and blaming them for his or her shortcomings.
Narcissistic parents treat their children in different ways. They either try to control them, ignore them completely, or engulf them and make it so they cannot develop into their own self.
A narcissistic mother fails to treat her child as an authentic person with wants and needs which may not match up with hers. She is completely self-centered and needs the attention to be all about her no matter what. If her child's accomplishment is something to be admired, she'll take all the credit for it while at the same time telling their child that they could've done better.
Parenthood is never about anyone else but them. For most people, having a child means having someone to take care of and love, not the other way around. A narcissist cares about no one but themselves and not even having a child can change their mindset.
Narcissistic Types
There are many faces of narcissism. Some of these may not be scientific or politically correct terms, but I feel that if you have a narcissistic mother in your life, you may be able to recognize some of these and nod your head in agreement.
- The Time Hostage: Your mom gets mad at you when you need to reschedule but assumes you will reschedule with her and/or repeatedly cancels on you last minute.
- The Quietly Self-Absorbed Narcissist: She's socially withdrawn and odd thinking, with morose self-doubts and a relentless search for power and has fantasies of great achievements.
- The Nice Narcissist: She's nice. She just needs you to agree with her at all times or she won't like you.
- The Victim: She is unable to take accountability for her choices. She looks at a problem and blames it on something out of her control instead of searching for anything in the situation she can change.
- The Attacker: She comes at you with attacks to see if you admit to anything or, as a way of expressing her fears.
- The Downer: She is so busy talking about why everything is lacking that she isn't emotionally present to you.
- The Assessor: It is her job to critique how you measure up and point out anything you could improve on, not to give at least equal time to telling you what you do right.
- The Credit Taker: She takes credit for everything, whether she deserves it or not. She passes the blame onto others, whether justified or not. She's always right, never wrong.
- The Jealous Narcissist: If you have it, she wants it or will strive to make it seem worth less than it is and devalue it.
- The Competitor: She lets you know you may be good but she is better, or prettier, or smarter, or more accomplished than you'll ever be.
- The Operator: She work's her own agenda at all times. She's walled off in her plans for you and everyone else whether you agree with her or not.
- The Fading Beauty: She is not handling the aging process well and looks at your comparable youth as an affront.
- The Beauty Queen: She identifies herself strongly with her attractiveness and may have been the homecoming queen, the best dressed, or known for her beauty. She's especially bothered if you don't try to make the most of your looks.
- The Innocent Narcissist: She's highly defensive and extremely hostile but masks it behind a "poor me" facade of vulnerability.
- The Enraged Narcissist: She screams to get her needs met and projects rage without a filter, not caring who sees it. She doesn't apologize for her actions.
- The Vengeful Narcissist: She enjoys inflicting pain on others and getting back at them if she does not get her way.
- The Passive Aggressive Narcissist: She sulks and gives the silent treatment and plots how to punish those who don't give her what she wants. She is vindictive and capable of becoming a stalker.
- The Stealth Narcissist: She fakes an interest in other people and their needs and knows that acting concerned with get her what she wants.
- The Cruel Narcissist: She is never fair and her discipline shows that. She knowingly causes you pain and enjoys knowing that you are miserable.
- The Character Assassinator: She is always trying to tarnish your reputation by lying, exaggerating, or manipulating the facts to make you look bad and to make her look good.
- The Stingy Narcissist: Gifts, compliments, advice and money are given, but look out when you inevitably fail.
- The Wounded Narcissist: She feels victimized and the world is against her. She needs you to take care of her and aid in her every want and need.
- The Disdainful Narcissist: You are treated as though you are less than what she expected, a disappointment or failure.
- The Scapegoating Narcissist: Her life would be better if you were better, or whoever she's choosing to scapegoat was better. And it will not be better until this person changes.
- The User Narcissist: She takes advantage of you and treats you as more of an employee than anything else. She uses you to get ahead in her own life.
- The Boundary-less Narcissist: There is no difference between you and her, you are an extension of her and therefore she has no limits. She intrudes on your space and looks through your personal belongings. She embarrasses you constantly.
- The Amnesia Narcissist: No matter what healthy requests you've made, it is as if you have to repeat yourself every time. For example, "Please don't hug me or kiss me, it makes me feel uncomfortable," is ignored.
- The Needy Narcissist: "You don't give me enough calls" or attention. She wants more from you than anyone could deliver.
- The Time-Sucker Narcissist: You could spend every minute with this person and they would still feel neglected.
- The Mind-Reader Narcissist: You didn't say it, you didn't think it, and yet they have read into something and insist it is true.
- The Clairvoyant Narcissist: You didn't say it, you didn't think it, but once they have said it you realize it's true and it's usually something negative about them (can cause identity confusion for you).
- The Touchy-Feely Narcissist: You are expected to tolerate her touching you however and whenever they want.
- The Holiday Narcissist: You don't exist unless it is their birthday or a holiday where she feels the need for family time.
- The Glamour Narcissist: She is all about making herself look good. She buys the most expensive clothes, gets her hair and nails done, and doesn't care about the amount of money she spends.
- The Rockstar Narcissist: She believes that she is the center of attention and it should always be that way. She's the main attraction and wants everyone to idolize her, even if she really has no talents or reason to be in the limelight.
- The World Traveler Narcissist: She brags about places she's been and makes up stories about the places she hasn't been, but tells people she has. She has grandiose fantasies about how worldly she is.
- The Professor/Elite Intellectual Narcissist: She is brainy and seeks admiration for her intelligence. She uses her intellect to put others down and make them feel stupid.
- The Stage Mom/The Promoter: She lives her fantasies through you. She makes you do the things she wish she could [still] do and believes your achievements are her own.
- The Fashionista: She tells you how to dress and what not to wear—often when you're already wearing it!
- Miss Manners: She still meticulously points out your etiquette failures– from how you eat to what family events you should attend.
- The Publicist: She brags about you to others but is excessively critical of you when you are alone.
- The Dr. Jekyl/Mr. Hyde Narcissist: She is nice in public, but mean under her breath or when alone.
- The Forever Young Narcissist: When did you become more mature than your mother? How old is she, really, emotionally?
- The Hot Mama Narcissist: Sexualized and distracted.
- The Lovesick Narcissist: Always chasing that ideal mate or trying to win the affection of her partner.
- The Enabler Mom: She is too distracted with your rebel siblings' problems or her partner's addictive behaviors and seems to get a bit of a rush or power out of rescuing.
- The Social Butterfly: Everyone in town loves her, she is a generous host, but she can't be bothered to make time for you.
- The Hypochondriac Narcissist: She believes something's physically wrong with her, you should be checking in on her. And, if you don't, as luck would have it, she unfortunately has something real going on every once in awhile. Or, it's nothing a reputable doctor will confirm but she's fighting off her cancer, leprosy, etc. with special treatments she's managed to find through her own sheer will to survive.
- The Financially-Challenged Narcissistic: She just needs a little bit of help for this umpteenth self created crisis and she's sorry she hasn't paid you back yet for the last time you lent her money.
- The Martyr Narcissist: Her refrain is "How Can You Do This to Me?" She tells you that you make her miserable, suicidal, isolated, or some other negative emotion. You are told that, in one way or another, you control her emotions and that if you would just do what she wanted she would be fine.
- The BFF (Best Friends Forever) Narcissist: You are her best friend, she doesn't know what she would do without you, unless she had a better offer, in that case you'll just have to wait until the next time she's lonely. You are brought out like a doll when she wants attention then ignored when she doesn't need it (but seriously, when doesn't she need it?). This is also a description of what is experienced when someone is another's "narcissistic supply."
- The Expensive Narcissist: She has ruined your credit through manipulation to use your credit.
- The Criminal Narcissist: Some narcissists exploit their children or others through identity theft, mismanagement of trust funds, and fraudulent financial dealings. You may or may not have been the target of her crime, but she doesn't see the rule of law applies to her. She may have Antisocial Personality Disorder, which is a pattern of manipulating, exploiting, or violating the rights of others. As if the narcissism wasn't enough!

Thank so much Renee and Dora. All good thoughts. Swimming away from a NM quietly is myultimate wish…but I already sense a big motor boat on my tail. (No sooner do I ask the question about NC, than my NM contacts my daughter, who attends university nearby, to arrange lunch in the coming weeks, with a "glass of wine" to follow with my wife and me. Ie: she has a sixth sense that I won't respond, so she'll go through my daughter to set things up.)
I feel like a convict trying to escape from jail at night wearing a pair of those running shoes that light up with every step.
Dora, I don't quite know my role with my NM. For a long time she has referred to me as her "rock." (Can't be any more objectified than that!) My EF father died 17 years ago and I think I was put in the role he had: validating her.) So I think was in the Hero role for many years, but since last year, when I got on to her narcissism, I feel like I became the scapegoat.
Great insight having your husband act as gatekeeper. My NM and siblings are afraid of my wife. She will be a great gatekeeper for me. Calling on her to take care of me like this is new–a little strange–but good. To admit my vulnerability here.
Another question: has anyone initiated NC with the caveat that they would be willing to have contact in a few therapy sessions with the NM? (I can't imagine my NM going for this, but I think it might play better with my sibs.) Or am I just looking for the easier path that just doesn't exist? Thanks!
- October 21, 2014 at 11:03 am
Karl, I'm so glad your wife might be a gatekeeper/ firewall. I really hated doing that to my husband too….it's not my style. I've never hid behind him in my life. However, this situation is just way to charged for me to handle….particularly since it is me alone against four siblings and a NM. He doesn't mind at all. Interestingly, he's finally had it too. It took us both a very long time. We've been married 28 years…….and it's been never ending attacks and stupid drama's the whole time. Unfortunately we're all in the same small suburb!
I greatly sympathize with pressure/ potential responsibilities of the only children (or one of two) of NM…but it's also a real twisted "head trip" to have an entire big family against you. AND, it's more the norm than the exception to have only one child recognize the narcissist for who she is. Most children of NM stayed enmeshed…and I'm sure we can all understand why.
I'm very nervous about the therapy idea because I only see her manipulating the situation. I have heard nothing/ experienced nothing to indicate that a narcissist is capable of change or owning faults/ misbehavior.
I don't know your situation Karl, but could you identify specific behaviors that you will no longer permit (badmouthing you to others, giving you the cold shoulder, making unreasonable requests, distorting history to attack you, etc.)? When I reminded my sister of all of the attacks (she led them on behalf of my narcissistic parents), I told her that I needed reassurance they would not happen again. I also told her that if she flipped this on me and made herself out to be the victim in our relationship our relationship was over. So, of course she attacked me (with pathetic falsehoods) and asked me to apologize to her for all I've done to her (she couldn't name one single thing), I said our relationship was over.
My husband keeps reminding me, "you told them that you needed civil behavior and they rejected that request". My parents constantly cut me off……and many, many other people in their life. For that reason, I always sink into despair that I've followed the same behavior (that I abhor). That confusion has led to a lot of anxiety in how to handle my six adult children's relationship with my family. Basically, we've told them our experiences (they were very shielded from most of it), and given them true freedom to handle my family the way they want. It's now close to six months of NC. It is evolving into the adult children doing less and less…..and getting more and more disgusted by the way my husband and I have been treated. I'm so glad that we gave them room to come to their own decisions…and I'm sure there will be a variety of ways they each decide to interact with them. I dont, btw, consider my family dangerous to them. They will be on their very best behavior…particularly now.
Good luck Karl!

Hi Karl,
I agree with Renee if you are going to offer the caveat of therapy you will need to find a therapist who specialises in narcissism.
I am struggling with the idea of walking away and going no contact also for a couple of reasons;
1) The disorder will never be professionally diagnosed (my mother would never agree to therapy)
2) No contact feels like the ultimate cold shoulder and I don't want to be her
That said, as time passes it seems to be coming to no contact quite naturally.
Now that I am aware of the disorder I've spent the last few months educating myself and looking for affirmations that my diagnosis of her is real.
Not sure if this helps – but I wish you all the best with whatever you decide.
- October 21, 2014 at 8:20 am
First, I would like to thank you all for validating me in my quest for truth. I really try not to 'tell someone' what to do because, although we share NMs, each NM has their own little unique story line. I attempt to stay within boundaries of what has worked for me. The last thing I would ever want to happen is to give advice that could back-fire and undermine this fragile-yet-growing-stronger community.
Karl, what is your daughter's viewpoint on your NM? While, of course, I wanted our family to have an allied front with my NM and EF, and, as time always does play out, they came to really discover that grandma is ill and they want nothing to do with her. It's very sad and I'm proud of them for standing up for themselves and the ill treatment of me. They've learned 'right from wrong' ….. so I guess my husband and I didn't do such a bad job after all (altho my parents told us we were 'C' parents …. LOL!). Perhaps you can make clear to your daughter that her arrangements with grandma are fine and that she is not to be put in the middle (now you're protecting your daughter). Possibly provide her with dialogue, 'grandma, you'll have to speak to dad or mom about arranging a meet-up with them ….. I don't know their schedule.' 'How's your meal grandma?' 'Mine is delicious' ……………….. get it?
I agree, having a buffer can relieve the pressure as the relationship is redefined (crumbling). In protecting my children (cuz my NM has done some pretty nasty things to them too), I firmly indicated that she must contact my husband or myself if she wants to see or visit the children. Now, of course, what NM will respect boundaries? I stuck to my guns. I didn't want to fight with her but I absolutely demanded she did not cross the line. And boy did she try …… and often I caught her and she just didn't know how to handle it. They are the biggest, false, empty bullies that just turn to dust. I would think your wife is less vested in this process (of NM) and can mediate. She has your back, not your NM. While you may feel vulnerable, it can also be a time to re-establish yourself, your power, your indictment that you are worthy and to be valued. I think it is a time to repair and heal.
Maybe your role with your NM is to be the son with a balanced mother ……….. dream on but save room for a miracle. Sounds like you have enough roles as it is; a father, a devoted wife, a dutiful, unappreciated son. Maybe dump the last one.
It's great that you are exploring as many options as you can because, as it was for me, when I really saw how things were and the disorder of my NM (and I'm talking 4 decades), I could walk away without a regret (I tried everything short of hanging myself). As crazy as this sounds, I think that I would be willing to go to therapy sessions with my NM. OMG, I'm INSANE! However, I think the selection of a therapist is crucial and it must be someone who is thoroughly versed in the field of narcissism. Recently diagnosed with ptsd, I was very surprised to find that my shrink knows very little about this subject. Careful, careful, careful. It can be a slippery slope and a therapist could easily fall into the clutch of the NM. I say this from experience ……………. because it happened to me. My NM beat me into the ground, with my EF and GC sister quietly witnessing, and the therapist just sat there and said that 'this family is just so full of love'.
And why wouldn't you want an easier path? Hasn't it been too hard already? Of course! And if NMs had the capability to recognize their aftermath ………… well, we wouldn't need this site. A path exists …… you just have to machete through it. You'll get there.

My mother's nose surgery is tomorrow – I can't bring myself to call so I'm sending her a text instead.
My aunt is coming out of hospital today – I'm giving her everything I couldn't give my mother – a visit with soups, salads, sandwiches, flowers, movies.
I couldn't care less about the fall-out – I'm doing what I want from now on.
The performing seal is hanging up her worn out ballet shoes and turning off the stage lights.
- October 21, 2014 at 3:27 pm
…you're such a lovely and gifted person Jane. I'm so glad you're going to devote your time and energy to those who can appreciate and love you, and appreciate your love!
Btw, I'm putting your last line on my frig (in code) for me to look at when I want to remember what this (NC) is all about. I can't imagine a better way to sum up my past and present life.
Go Jane go!

Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer, and Megadeth to Tour Together
By Tom Breihan on December 16, 2009 at 9:00 a.m. EST
In the minds of aging metalheads, Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer, and Megadeth will always be linked. Back in the 80s, these bands were known as thrash metal's Big Four, and many a 7-11 parking lot argument hinged on which one ruled the hardest. (This writer's opinion: Metallica, obviously. Duh.) Against all odds, all four bands still roam the earth. And this summer, they'll all share a stage.
In Brief: Bad Bonn, Panther, Morning Benders, EuroSonic Noorderslag
By Tom Breihan on December 15, 2009 at 6:35 p.m. EST
-- At some point in February, Three: Four will release Does Your Cat Know My Dog?: Bad Bonn's Selection for the New Ear, a limited edition 12" compilation curated by the folks behind Switzerland's Bad Bonn festival.

Grizzly Bear Contribute Music to Ryan Gosling/Michelle Williams Film
By Tom Breihan on December 14, 2009 at 11:20 a.m. EST
Next month, the Sundance Film Festival will premiere Blue Valentine, a new movie starring the ridiculously hip pairing of Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams. As TwentyFourBit points out, the film's Sundance page credits Grizzly Bear with "music" for the film. And the band's resume with talent agency Sheldon Prosnit Agency has the band listed as composers for the film.
How much music Grizzly Bear contributes to the film hasn't been confirmed yet.
Derek Cianfrance directed Blue Valentine, which shares a title with a 1978 Tom Waits album. That Sundance page calls the movie "an intimate, shattering portrait of a disintegrating marriage". Sounds absolutely depressing!
Erykah Badu, Tegan and Sara, Metric, Janelle Monae to Play Lilith Fair
By Tom Breihan on December 10, 2009 at 5:00 p.m. EST
Back in the late 90s, Sarah McLachlan's traveling all-female Lilith Fair festival became the butt of all sorts of mean jokes when it collected every female singer-songwriter dominating adult-contemporary radio onto one bill. Looking back, the Lilith Fair isn't quite as monochromatic as it seemed at the time; Missy Elliott and Lauryn Hill played, as did Liz Phair, Christina Aguilera, the Dixie Chicks, and Cibo Matto.
For summer 2010, McLachlan has taken a break from making unrelentingly depressing save-the-dogs commercials to dust off the Lilith Fair. The tour's organizers have revealed many of the artists who will play on next year's tour, and it's a pretty wide-ranging list.
Big Ears Festival Snags Vampire Weekend, Joanna Newsom
By Ryan Dombal on December 10, 2009 at 2:00 p.m. EST
Knoxville, Tennessee's Big Ears Festival aims to "explore connections and interfaces between music, visual art, and film" with "art exhibitions, installations, film screenings, workshops, interactive experiences, lectures and discussions." Bottom line: There are a lot of very cool bands doing very cool things in Knoxville the weekend of March 26-28.
Pavement to Play Roskilde Festival
By Tom Breihan on December 9, 2009 at 1:20 p.m. EST
Pavement's headline-news 2010 reunion tour already includes a few stops at big festivals: Sasquatch!, Primavera, their own ATP throwdown. And now we can report that Pavement will also play the gigantic Danish festival Roskilde, which will go down July 1-4. Not too many other bands have been announced for Roskilde, but we do know that Pavement will play alongside Muse and NOFX, which should be pretty weird.
Pavement fans, be advised: You may want to get used to the idea of waiting in porta-potty lines. We've got all the band's dates below.
Magnetic Fields, Atlas Sound, Four Tet, Mark Kozelek to Play Noise Pop
By Tom Breihan on December 8, 2009 at 4:30 p.m. EST
The Noise Pop Festival, which takes over venues around San Francisco, tends more toward pop than noise. Next year's festival is no different. The 18th Noise Pop fest, which which goes down February 23 - March 1, will feature plenty of all-stars. Among the bands participating: the Magnetic Fields, Atlas Sound, Rogue Wave, Four Tet, the Soundtrack of Our Lives, Mark Kozelek, John Vanderslice, Foreign Born, Zee Avi, the Limousines, and We Were Promised Jetpacks.

They're doing the same thing again this year, and their new slate of ornaments includes pieces designed by the Decemberists, Modest Mouse, and Blitzen Trapper, all pictured above. Proceeds go to needy families in Eugene, Oregon. You can buy them via eBay's "buy it now" feature right here.
-- Screen Daily reports that director Julien Temple (The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle, The Filth and the Fury) is at work on You Really Got Me, a biopic about British Invasion legends the Kinks. The film will focus on the contentious brotherly relationship between Ray and Dave Davies, and Ray is currently developing the film with Temple. (Via the Daily Swarm).

By Tom Breihan on December 2, 2009 at 5:20 p.m. EST
Photo by Pat Graham

- Career Opportunities
I have been working at Digital Air Strike full-time (more than 3 years)Pros
A lot of companies claim to be cutting edge or moving forward with technology. Digital Air Strike is consistently moving forward. There is always exciting new stuff happening, new partnerships, new innovations or package options. Sure its a lot to learn and keep up with, but that is what makes it fun. I would rather be here than anywhere else. I work with a team of people that really care. We are learning and working together to sign-up, support and take care of our clients. You really feel like you are part of something great. Sure we work a lot, the hours can be long. Our clients are in different time zones, but at the end of the day, none of that really matters when you can see the work we are doing is making a difference online and helping dealers grow their business! I tell people all the time you could not get me to leave this organization or this team. I love what we sell and what I do.Cons
I get angry when I see people join this company just looking for the 9-5 or less. They make it difficult for the rest of us. They complain the works is hard (we are not cutting lumber here) or that they had to work through lunch sometimes. They bring in great food!Advice to ManagementAdvice
Keep adding partnerships and innovating Digital Air Strike's programs. Perhaps, more advertising about all of the new things we have going on would help get the word out there to even more dealers.RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEO

The Art of War
By Sunzi
The Art of War was written over 2,300 years ago in what is now North China. Yet it still remains a contemporary lesson on how to attain victory without going to battle. Despite numerous references to enemies, generals, and armies, The Art of War is about nonaggression.

Ebay just isn't worth it anymore. First is their lack of personalized customer support. Do they have the best interests of customers in mind? Well, you could wait up to 3 days for a help on a technical issue. And they don't offer phone support. In fact, ebay flat out denies any request for person-to-person contact. You decide. On the other hand, when it comes to ebay's intererests, you can bet there will be a timely email from them in your inbox.Is ebay really worth it these days anyway? As a buyer, you're not going to find many real bargains anymore. I've seen USED items go for MORE than you can buy the item new elsewhere. Plus, sellers can charge whatever they want for shipping. It's a hidden fee that ebay lets them add to the regular cost of postage---shipping and handling. It appears as one flat shipping cost. So the seller can fetch $2 for an auctioned item and charge $50 for delivery, (I've seen some pretty hefty charges. I backed out gracefully on those. After all it's up to the buyer if he/she wants to bid.) Here's an example that's not so bad where I didn't save a dime, but did save the time of having to run out and buy the item in a store. I recently bought a new cap from an ebay auction. New it would have cost me about $8.99. I got it for $5.99, but then paid $4 for shipping. It weighs less then my hairbrush. Fine. No big deal. But why use ebay? I could have found the same item on any site or in any store and paid the same. Also, it used to be that you'd find a lengthy list of auction items when you did a search, but now more and more you have to wade through several inches of BUY IT NOW items at less-than-attractive prices before you get to the auction listings. It's no wonder that ebay is losing ratings. My advice to other online spenders is to look at alternative auctions such as overstock.com auctions. Supposedly their selling fees are less and they seem to have a pretty good audience. Also, when I logged on I immediately got a live chat session with a representative. Strange experience after ebay's "may take up to 72 hours" policy. Another auction site is ubid.com. If anyone has any info on that one or any others, I'd love to know!
In Ebay's defence I would like to say this, for 10plus years now my family and I have been buying/selling on Ebay. Do you know how Ebay got started? I remember, Pierre set Ebay up in his garrage....I used to sell only pez dispencersLOL---anyhow When it went public we started buying up shares"maybe you should have too"----My point is Ebay is a GREAT COMPANY with A GREAT PLATFORM shure Ebay will have problems I'v had 1 since the start then I was on hold with them forever never did get it solved ALL GREAT THINGS HAVE FLAWS that doesnt mean you should drop them--see Ebay is globel can you say that for any other action site?????????????Take a look at the company Ebay allways will compeat with themselvs
Pierre did not set up eBay in his garage. You must be thinking of Apple. And most people did not sell Pez dispensers, they sold computer parts. If you have been selling for ten+ years you would know it wasn't even called eBay to start with. If you started buying when eBay went public, you have done very well, assuming you kept your stock or sold at the high last year.
Amazon is also global, although they have (I think wisely) not tried to do much in Asia.
caution wont help. when you genuinely like somebody you have "talking to" for months, personal info slips out. who you are becomes known.
<<its not as anonymous as you think>>lisa, you mean that some of us ought to be a little more cautious?
its not as anonymous as you think....
The bio's of most of the posters on this board would make for an interesting read. Would have to get around the anonymity aspect somehow, however.

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
Feb. 17, 1942. J. w. MUMFORD FLOWER HOLDER Filed Aug. -20, 1940 a m F FIG. 5.
INVENTOR L Joun w. MUMFORD 4 ATTORNEY Patented Feb. 17, 1942 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE FLOWER HOLDER John W. Mumford, Philadelphia, Pa.
Application August 20, 1940, Serial No. 353,358
1 Claim.
The object of the invention is to provide improvements in flower holders, but more particularly in a type which is especially designed and adapted for use as a support for a single flower (or small bunch of flowers) or boutonniere in the lapel of a man's coat, or other similar arrangement.
Another object is to provide a holder of this type which is made entirely of wire or the like, and comprises an upper looped portion for receiving and preventing lateral movement of the calyx or other portion of a flower or flower stalk, a lower looped portion for receiving and similarly preventing lateral movement of the stem of the said flower, and an intervening connecting portion or shank which inturn comprises a safety pin section, by means of which the holder is detachably secured to a garment or other supporting element, as for instance when it is desired to mount a bunch of sweet peas or the like upon the upwardly extending surface of a cushion incident to a funeral or other event, a clasp for the end of said pin comprising a rearward extension of said lower looped portion.
A further object is to provide a device of this character, which can be formed from a single piece of wire, except possibly for a securing band or the like, if thought necessary, wherefore the cost of production is maintained at an exceedingly low figure.
A further object is to provide a modified form of the device in which the upper loop conforms to variable radii, so as to provide circumferen tially spaced, inwardly extending, abruptly curved portions, adapted to pinch into the calyx of a carnation or the like and thereby prevent it from rotating angularly or shifting longitudinally.
With the objects thus briefly stated, the invention comprises further details of construction and operation, which are hereinafter fully brought out in the following description, when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a flower holder comprising one embodiment of the invention; Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the holder per se; Fig. 3 is a horizontal section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1; and Fig. l is a top plan View of a modified form of upper or flower-receiving loop.
Referring to the drawing, a flower holder comprising one embodiment of the invention is shown as being formed from a single strand of wire of any desired cross section and similar physical characteristics.
holder is shown as being in the form of a relatively large loop I, adapted to receive the calyx 2 of a flower 3, the ends of said loop being brought together at the rear, and one of them extending freely downwardly to form a resilient safety pin portion 4, having a pointed extremity 5, while the other also extends downwardly to form a shank 6, upon the lower end of which is a smaller forwardly extending loop 1 adapted to receive the stem 8 of said flower. Rearwardly of this lower loop the wire extends freely rearwardly and thence reversely forwardly to provide a looped clasp 9, the opposite forward side ll] of which is reversely curved to form a looped portion II, within which the pin 4 is yieldingly retained while operatively supporting the holder upon the lapel of a coat, or other suitable supporting element.
Referring to Fig. 4, the modified form of upper loop I here shown comprises alternately positioned, circumferentially spaced, radially outwardly and inwardly extending curved portions l3 and I4 preferably lying in the same plane, the inwardly extending portions being relatively abruptly curved and so designed as to pinch into the calyx 2 of a flower, such as a carnation, or other object supported by the improved holder.
It should be noted of primary importance that this complete holder is formed from a single strand of wire, but that if desired for any reason, such as for rigidity or the like, the rear portion of either or both of said loops, or the adjacent upper portions of the shank or stem, may be secured together as illustrated by the band I2. However, while one embodiment of the invention has been disclosed in the drawing, it is to be understood that numerous modifications may be made in the minor details of construction and operation, without departing from the scope of the appended claim. It should also be noted that while not absolutely essential, the pin portion 4 may extend substantially vertically, while the shank portion 6 extends diagonally forwardly as it progresses downwardly, so as to thereby bring the axes of the spaced looped portions I and I more nearly 'into vertical alignment, and also in order that the hooked portion l I of the clasp will hold the pin in substantial parallelism with the stem of a flower supported by the holder as a unit.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent of the United States is:
A flower holder, comprising an upper looped The pp r part of the portion from the rear of which depend integral shank and pin portions, a forwardly extending lower looped portion comprising an integral extension of said shank portion, said looped portions lying in spaced substantially parallel planes, a clasp comprising a rearward integral extension of said lower looped portion, and receiving and releasably retaining the free end of said pin portion, said upper looped portion comprising circumferentially spaced, radially inwardly and abruptly curved portions, adapted to simultaneously pinch into but without mutilating the calyx of a flower or other object extending through the loop, and means to prevent the enlargement of at least one of said looped portions.

Alright I guess I'll finally fill this out. I work for a mortgage company right now. Pretty great job but it gets pretty repetitive and to be honest, although the salary is great, never really saw myself settling down there as a career. I ended up going back to college to wrap up my medical degree in Radiology which im currently doing right now. Love being in the gym and staying active and usually enjoy eating up my free time on just excercising. I guess that's more than enough, you can always go ahead and ask anything else you might want to know.
