  1. Excerpt from link below:
    "Sam Vaknin writes: “The reason narcissism is underreported and healing overstated is therapists are being fooled by smart narcissists. Most narcissists are expert manipulators and learn how to deceive their therapists.” Thus, if therapists are being fooled, it’s likely estate law attorneys are also being fooled.
    ...
    My father and his estate attorney probably met only as many times as needed to put together a standard will and trust, filling in a few blanks along the way—not much time for even an experienced attorney to detect a pathological liar, one of Vaknin’s points in the video mentioned before
    ...
    There’s something else an attorney assisting with wills, testaments, or trusts should note: a widowed testator or testatrix with NPD might kick into high gear in the lying, smearing, and twisting of reality. It might be telling to consider the degree of negativity in a testator’s remarks with how difficult it would be to (hypothetically) check up on those strong negative statements. In my case, my mother had died two years before my father did his will and trust, and I was literally half-way around the world unable to know what was going on back home behind my back, so he could and did get away with a lot."

    You don't say ... 🤔

  3. Today, I fulfilled one of my childhood dreams I didn't know I had, or rather, I had forgotten about. Last weekend, through therapy, I connected with my younger self, and at the end, I gave her a rag doll, and she became incredibly happy with it.

    After that, I thought that I had always wanted a rag doll, yet since I was socialized as a boy, I wasn't allowed to have one. Well, today I am an adult woman with adult money, and proceeded to get myself one.

    She has arrived today.

    When I took her out of the box, I immediately felt goosebumps all over, and I felt such incredible joy I had not felt with any other gift, or anything I had bought for myself. I immediately hugged her, and some tears rolled down my cheeks.

    So, there she is! I am so happy right now. :blobcattrans:
