90. Yes I'm an ex pat too

Wed Jan 18, 2017, 10:03 PM

Jan 2017

it's really affecting me Hate this freaking man. I think we better hold on to each other. This is going to be tough, I know my parents went through crap like WWII, but we were the good guys....that is why this is so disturbing. We have a nutcase and I keep on posting this Narcissistic Personality Disorder info. He is totally mentally unfit. If we keep on saying this maybe it will sink in.

One thing I would like to suggest is there is going to be a lot of stress and depression if anyone feels this way reach out to Mental Health Professional please. We have to take care of ourselves, even California Peggy here at DU said the same thing. But let's fight back silence is consent.
