Since going no contact with my narcissist mother over 12 years ago, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, any and all gatherings have been fun.

No more self-centered screaming tantrums when she thought she was not getting enough attention, or she wanted to hater on someone for shits n grins, or dug for anything to start a big argument, then grinning smugly to herself after ruining everyone's day.

Today, she is alone, and deservedly so.
