Flying Monkeys and Narcissists

[Mole]

I have had a long term, intractable, social problem that I have finally been able to put a name to. It is called "Flying Monkeys", click What are "flying monkeys"? (Glossary of Narcissistic Relationships) - YouTube.

This is a great relief to me, as I felt very much alone. And now I find I share this problem with many others, and it is easy to find on Youtube.

I have an awful backlog of feeling about this which I would like to explore in subsequent posts, but I will content myself by kicking off here.

To be continued......
