Thanks for you comment. I think John Perry had himself a very sad life. It is horrid for any of us to be so unwanted by our parents. Sadly, he opted to not deal with the pain. Barbara was so very lucky to get out of that relationship alive.

IMHO, he was the ultimate narcissist ~ his whole life was an illusion. He must have been a phenomenal actor to pull it off.

Barbara’s new husband Rex is a wonderful guy.

Thanks for visiting and leaving your comment,
Anne Caroline

And how sad there are so few ways to recognise the patterns. And even sadder that once we have the courage to make a change there are institutionalised barriers that seemingly punish us?
