Prostitutes Sorgues,

She preys on military and knows how to use the system. I have been bullied by the Escambia county's Sheriffs when I was arrested they stole money out of my wallet and even stole my zippo lighter. My wife lied under oath admitted to lying and the judge still put an ankle bracelet on me because I have PTSD.

Fighting for this Country has done nothing but cause me pain. And to come home to a disgrace. The only thing worse then what has been done to me is that no one cares and they are not willing to share my story. My son is going through a terrible divorce. The children report that the parents are fighting over them and it makes them feel really bad.

It seems like there is no end in sight. My son feeds into it even tho he says he does not. She is after money of which there is not that much and it will really come out of the children's college fund. I did not receive any help. I felt like Prostitutes Sorgues from some very close friends and family I was the Prostitutes Sorgues one who understood Prostitutes Sorgues I was dealing with.

I was judged by friends who thought I was just another bitter woman trying to be a bitch. I have been out of the relationship for 8 years now and it is still a nightmare. I suffer from anxiety and my relationship with two of my kids was destroyed. I feel like I had to sacrifice my relationship with them in order to escape their Dad. Things are beginning to change but the pain he has caused me has been traumatizing.

My stomach turns when reading the remarks of children of narcissists because my mother was one. My parents divorced when I was 12, my father left but we couldn't.

As was said before it is very hard to convey how awful it is to be under the control of such a person. She poisoned every relationship including with her 2nd husband, father, brother and friends. My sister and I tried to be of help but she manulipated and lied and eventually tried to suck my children in.

I could not allow that but since she was alone I tried to be there for her--she ran out of people to hate, right before she Prostitutes Sorgues she disinherited her children and grandchildren with no explanation. Save yourself avoid these people at all costs, you can't "help"! The hardest part of being involved with a narcissist is how they change and the people around them.

It is never for the better. That is why it is always better to avoid them when Prostitutes Sorgues. I was in an incredibly loving 29 year relationship until my wife passed away at age She checked all the boxes except I couldn't figure out why I was so unhappy and yet so attracted at the same time. I kept ending the relationship only to be drawn back in. I only got out permanently, after a dear friend insisted I go talk with a professional therapist She was able to see what was going on very Prostitutes Sorgues and let me know.

I didn't believe her at first, but then my therapist was able to predict what this person was likely to do and to say. Holy cow, did my world view change.

Here is some of what I learned in my crash course: Highly seductive and exciting, narcissistic people are characterized by having very little real emotional capacity, but really good at faking it and being unbelievably good at exerting control, which is all important to them. I had Prostitutes Sorgues had any exposure to these types of peopleand had always trusted my instincts about people. Having my Prostitutes Sorgues open rocked my world view.

Painful as it was, my "nar-dar" now is super sharp; I can suss out the people with very limited emotional capacity, pretty darn accurately and quickly. If you're in an unhealthy relationship now, an easy sign is Prostitutes Sorgues you rarely feel recharged-- you feel like you give and give. You often feel Prostitutes Sorgues and you may begin to question the value of Prostitutes Sorgues very things that are at your core.

Chances are YOU have a lot of emotional capacity; that characteristic is what they count on and feed on. I asked the therapist, why does she want to be with me? Her answer; being with you makes her feel more normal-- your emotions are something she wants to feel and can't but being with you is as close as she can come to it.

People who are in relationships with narcissits need also Prostitutes Sorgues ask an important question; what about "me" made me so vulnerable to them? Otherwise, there's god chance that you will fall for the same type of person again, especially if you have no other role model. In my experience dating as an adult, while truly narcissistic personality disorder may be a small percentage of the population, a tremendous number of people have emotional capacity that is quite limited.

By definition half the population is below average to begin with; the percentage of people available after broken adult relationships?

People with limited emotional capacity can actually be happy Prostitutes Sorgues as long Prostitutes Sorgues everything goes smoothly enough that hey don't need or want much emotional support from their partners. But people with large emotional capacity need Prostitutes Sorgues stay away from the ones with little emotional capacity.

The former will always feel like they don't get what they need and Prostitutes Sorgues latter will always feel like they are failing to give enough. Thanks for your comments. I can't believe what I've Prostitutes Sorgues. My father tried to save me from marriage to her 30 years ago. But I had already moved. The hook was set. She manipulates everything. Got most I my retirement.

Now wants to pursue more property. She testifies to my abuse but all I did was run away whenever she had one of her tirades. I felt warn out. Not to say its anything like combat but it grinds you quietly Kids are mostly detached. Prostitutes Sorgues got a tenant who used my money while she earned hers.

Never had a wife. It's truly amazing the posts that have come in sharing these Prostitutes Sorgues and painful stories. It was an interesting experience writing this Prostitutes Sorgues and learning about how much work there is to do for others to understand this disorder especially when it hits the court system.

For those who have read that far, I Prostitutes Sorgues love Prostitutes Sorgues thoughts on that as well. We would Prostitutes Sorgues love to have you join us on Facebook where we will continue the discussion with recovery tips and support.

I cannot wait to read more of your book as your article is so spot-on, concise, and accurately depicts the shock, pain and awe these types of people can cause.

I appreciate your thoroughness and educating Prostitutes Sorgues. Thank you thank you thank you! I used to become frustrated trying to explain to others bc it seems so fantastical and exaggerated. The drama children of a narcissistic parent deal with can not be overstated. My father was undiagnosed NPD. His example as a father and person was the worse kind of Prostitutes Sorgues model. Children learn by watching and doing and my father has pretty much ruined Prostitutes Sorgues in surprising and not so surprising ways.

My mother was the complete opposite and as most spouses Prostitutes Sorgues narcissists know she suffered physically, Prostitutes Sorgues emotionally until she dumped him.

The children he favored grew up to be narcissists or have narcissistic behaviors themselves. The ones he didn't like struggle with poor self images. Everyone is affected. There are six of us in total and at least 2 have followed in his footsteps and the saddest part is that they readily acknowledge that our father was a narcissist without being able to see it in themselves.

I feel for their kids. They are tyrants! Life with my father was always filled with drama. There was always something to go crazy about even Prostitutes Sorgues the very smallest of problems. He never seemed Prostitutes Sorgues be able to sit still--he had no peace.

He either presented himself as a savior or victim. He believed it was his job to be judge Prostitutes Sorgues executioner. Compassion and mercy were behaviors he was incapable of showing. He never said he loved his family. I think it never occurred to him. Putting his family first was impossible for him because that would require Prostitutes Sorgues not Prostitutes Sorgues put his own needs and desire before ours.

Families with a person with NPD are usually fragmented. The children are the hardest hit as they try to get what they need when they feel it isn't coming from that one person they look to for security--their parent.

I can't describe the terror I felt when my father was around. I never liked, relied or trusted him--ever. His narcissistic behavior didn't come across as self absorption but as hatred towards us. It has been Prostitutes Sorgues really, really long time since I last spoke to him but the effects are long lasting. No contact is the best a non NPD parent can do for their children and the worst is Prostitutes Sorgues. When my mom divorced my Prostitutes Sorgues I realized there are two kinds of suffering: the first is Prostitutes Sorgues kind one has living with a narcissist and the second is when trying to rid yourself of one.

The latter is so much better because without them there are moments of sanity and peace. My father was a narcissist with all the charm and rejection Prostitutes Sorgues anyone who did not look, behave, see the world as he did. Prostitutes Sorgues sister believes his personality was mostly formed by his mother's doting attention.

I know he did not have a good relationship with his father. I know there was no abuse. I currently am raising my 16 Prostitutes Sorgues old son with my Prostitutes Sorgues, his biological mother She cannot say no to my son.

I have the great majority of expectations, basic chores. He is generally a good kid but "plays" us, asks her for everything if there is any chance I will say "no. I Prostitutes Sorgues longer hope that she can see this as Prostitutes Sorgues to him, do not believe she will change. Any thoughts about how I should try to help him? I was married for 18 years to a narcissist sex addict.

While birthing our only child a few years after we got married, it left me partially paralyzed. Prostitutes Sorgues narcissism showed up shortly after the birth, as he would leave me alone in the house with a Prostitutes Sorgues and my 5 yr old from a previous marriage with no help for weeks on Prostitutes Sorgues. It is amazing how Prostitutes Sorgues three of us survived those years.

The three of us are healing but we will never be the same. My son has no contact with his father as he remarried 6 days after our divorce and my son decided he'd had enough of his father's evil ways.

I haven't seen or spoken to my ex since I threw him out as he never showed up to court for the divorce hearing and the judge granted me everything I'd ask for in the proceedings. My daughter is scarred forever from the abuse as we all are and it is my greatest hope each and every day that we continue to heal. Thank you, God! I hear about everyone's Prostitutes Sorgues experiences, and feel terrible that they have gone through that.

With that in mind, are there any suggestions for me when going through Prostitutes Sorgues divorce no children? My husband is Prostitutes Sorgues to cooperate in granting a divorce. His lawyer does not engage with my lawyer, perhaps under instruction from Prostitutes Sorgues husband. I am at a loss as to moving forward. Are there any suggestions from people who have gone through similar situations? This is a fascinating series.

I was involved with a narcissist in my early twenties - a childhood crush, the brother of my best friend growing up. I didn't know what hit me pardon the pun. I was lucky Prostitutes Sorgues he DID hit me. I called a domestic abuse hotline and the woman I spoke with told me "be thankful for your bruise; it is proof of what he did to you.

The way I finally left was imagining him throwing our future children against a wall. I couldn't protect myself, but I could imagine protecting the children we never had thank goodness. From a daughter's perspective there is no escape from the ravenous manipulations of a mother with full blown self serving madness masquerading as normalcy.

Narcissism of the madness type, attempts Prostitutes Sorgues emotionally destroy the other for their own purpose. Morality, fairness, and compassion don't exist. Children are lost for help; eventually they either succumb, emotionally break, or go off to find a new way.

While the narcissist is happy to continue plotting their next move totally unconcerned about the well being of anyone; but, themselves. Luckily, we had no children. I think this was a Prostitutes Sorgues in disguise.

Having read articles on narcissism, and having one on one counseling sessions with my therapist, made me realize than I am better off Prostitutes Sorgues single Prostitutes Sorgues. Her behavior was normal at the beginning, then after we married, her true Prostitutes Sorgues starting to come thru; withdrawn, lack of Prostitutes Sorgues, no boundaries, subtly verbally abusive, to name a few.

I believe people with this disorder although I Prostitutes Sorgues to think it's Prostitutes Sorgues illnessare truly insecure cowards who have never accepted Prostitutes Sorgues as they are. What a shame. Looking back at this experience made me a stronger person and has made me appreciate a great relationship, which I have now.

The irony is that my new girlfriend was also married to a narcissist who was cheating on her for yearsand was caught lie after lie, and still denied any involvement with anyone else. Turns out all his "business" trips weren't all business! Needless to say, we have a lot in common. I'm extremely happy to have entered into a new chapter in my life. You are very lucky to be divorced and two have found someone who understands what you have endured!

I divorced one. He walked away with 10 years of my hard-earned savings then couldn't figure out why I didn't want to be "friends. When I sought refuge in the guest room, he would barge in 6, 7 or 8 times a night screaming at me - and those outbursts were always my fault. The day my father died, he left me to see a cousin who was visiting from out Prostitutes Sorgues town.

He had every therapist hoodwinked with his "deep feelings" and the "hurt little boy within. I feel for you. The day my Dad died my husband now ex said to me: "Good, now I don't have to deal with him anymore. It was 20 years ago and I Prostitutes Sorgues think about Prostitutes Sorgues on the anniversary of Prostitutes Sorgues death.

Yes, Prostitutes Sorgues also went to therapy and my narcissistic spouse had them all fooled Prostitutes Sorgues same deep feeling bullshit and the pity party for the little boy - they are very manipulative, as one comment stated this is a mental illness not a personality disorder-they are truly evil people.

Dealing with a high IQ Prostitutes Sorgues narcissist was a nightmare. Add to that every manner of illness including grand mal seizures that came on whenever he was stressed made dealing with him impossible.

When the children were born he felt displaced since he was no longer the center of attention. His emotional abuse Prostitutes Sorgues manipulation were hard enough on me, but his taunting, teasing, and belittling the children was more than I could bear.

I knew divorcing him would be miserable and I waited far too long, but luckily he got himself into enough legal drama to be put away for a dozen years for fraud. Now he looks for pity at his plight, selecting one daughter to carry on Prostitutes Sorgues tradition of emotional slavery while he manages to alienate the other two as they have not showed the same degree of concern.

This article has been a revelation; my partner has been trying to divorce her husband for two years. Despite a court order requiring the sale of the family home and business assets and the split of the remains equally more or less ; the husband who appears incapable of working gets half her Prostitutes Sorgues He Prostitutes Sorgues none he refuses to Prostitutes Sorgues paperwork and is obstructing every possible move towards settlement.

He has poisoned the son's relationship with his mother and has openly declared his intent to financially destroy her. There seems to be no negotiating with him; he is determined to have his own way despite the court order, he challenges everything, is openly abusive and threatening towards his wife and is now on his Prostitutes Sorgues set of lawyers who like he previous three seem incapable of recognizing him for what he is.

For two years he has lived Prostitutes Sorgues free in the family house his wife had Prostitutes Sorgues get out and rented Prostitutes Sorgues purports to be a builder yet the place is in decay. He is sad sick man. I had a relationship with a narcissist. Leaving him caused him to alienate my child, and use the court system to cause me financial ruin for the rest of my life. Courts need to be educated.

Don't give up. I have extracted him from my Prostitutes Sorgues by not communicating with him, not thinking about him, not reacting to any of his threats or bullying. If your child is safe it is easier to do. So get that handled first at all costs. Then cut off yourself as a source to his energy. It worked for me. He found someone else to manipulate and exploit. I didn't realize the ugly web I was trapped in until my daughter was born. My highly narcissistic ex-wife began acting in ways that made it clear she felt our daughter was hers, and I was just the father.

A possession. There was more Prostitutes Sorgues on than NPD—I found out that my Prostitutes Sorgues was a victim of child sexual abuse by her father. Just before we separated, she Prostitutes Sorgues to me, "I know you love A our daughter but I have a soul relationship with her that began before she was conceived. Well what do you say to that?!

But I Prostitutes Sorgues know that it might be resented and not believed. Until I finally had the opportunity to cut my cancerous narcissistic brother out of my life I was absolutely bewildered by his bizarre wife. My brother's narcissism was so apparent and evident to me that I could never begin to comprehend what kind Prostitutes Sorgues woman would be with him of her own free will.

She was alien to me. I never figured it out and no longer care. I'm free of him; I guess he's her karma. Very sad for the kids she bizarrely decided to Prostitutes Sorgues late in life. I have paid a terrible price for marrying this man.

My crime, was I did not give him the son he wanted. He said "you and the girls mean nothing to me; without a son, I am incomplete. The Minister of our church and three of my girls friends testified Prostitutes Sorgues was unfit as a mother.

I live in hope that someday, my Prostitutes Sorgues will be free of his influence and wealth. Prostitutes Sorgues life was shattered and it took years to Prostitutes Sorgues my balance and sense of self. I'm stunned to see the response of this and the original article.

So many of us suffering in a silence created by the monsters in our homes. I don't have spouse issues but realize now there is indeed a spectrum and that I grew up with three different types of narcissist Prostitutes Sorgues three entirely self-involved : a manipulative, neglectful father who showed his best face to the world; a grandiose, bullying brother without an ounce of empathy or ability to relate; and Prostitutes Sorgues aunt who I was forced into close contact with and who looks now to have had overlapping narcissist and borderline personality disorder a truly terrible Prostitutes Sorgues.

I'm gleeful to report I'm free Prostitutes Sorgues them all! This subject really needs to be opened up so that children and young people can learn what is acceptable and unacceptable behavior in friends, dating partners, and coworkers, so they won't be marrying Prostitutes Sorgues at all.

I Prostitutes Sorgues I was being brought up by "crazy" people but nobody else seemed to realize it. I'm so glad this subject is being opened up. I'm now teaching my own kids about these people and hope they won't fall into intimate relationships with them. There is usually 'no' real relationship. There's only catering to their needs, demands, and responding to their outbursts.

There is little time left for having a relationship, dialogue, etc. They decide what is 'real' - and from then on. GC, this Prostitutes Sorgues where I am at right now. It has never been a relationship and I Prostitutes Sorgues sick and worn out from serving this man. My problem is I have nowhere Prostitutes Sorgues go and am scared to get a divorce being he has made me very co- dependant.

It would take me forever to go through what has happened since I have been married to him, now 15 yrs. Being married to a narcissist was wonderful at first, when I was swept into his beautiful and exciting orbit.

He had turned his attentions to me. Later, his son and I were too much to bother with, too distracting from Prostitutes Sorgues self-focus. When his daughter, who is a sociopath, came to live with us, life became unbearably difficult. Being abused by him for a decade and the divorce that resulted was harder than anything I have gone through.

I was isolated, traumatized, terrified, suicidal. And from his perspective, it was all my fault. I am learning to heal and it is slow and fraught. But I look at my son, now 9, who is beginning to thrive now that he is out of his father's and sister's zones of terror. It will take a lifetime to undo this, Prostitutes Sorgues our freedom is worth the thousands of dollars, the agony, and the fear of divorcing him.

I am grateful that I was supported mostly by my family and friends, who had urged me for years to leave. Now, I must rebuild my sense of self-worth, which was decimated by this man for so long.

And Prostitutes Sorgues guilt I feel Our daughter is divorced from a classic narcissist and they have a parent coordinator who has an excellent reputation, both as a PC and as a psychologist. In many respects, he has been helpful over the past several years but Prostitutes Sorgues were surprised and disappointed, early on, over a couple of decisions he made regarding our grandson, one of which was: This 7 year-old child was having a difficult time going to his dad's for visitation and was locking himself in his room when his father came for him, Prostitutes Sorgues to come out.

It was traumatic - the father blamed the mother who did her best to encourage her child and to find out why he was so reluctant to go. The PC was called on Prostitutes Sorgues help. After hearing the problem, he commented that the child was being a brat and his solution was to tell this young boy he had to go and if he resisted, it would mean he would have to spend even more time with his dad than the Agreement called for. It worked insofar as he no longer barricaded himself in his room -- but the PC never spoke to this child about WHY he was so reluctant to go with his father.

To this day, we don't know the reasons. The child is approaching his teen years and still doesn't have a good relationship with his dad who, like so many other narcissists, uses his son as a pawn.

He has been remarried for about 6 months, lives in a different town, and he is still harassing me once in awhile.

I was married to an identical twin. Both my ex and his twin are narcissists and both have explosive personality disorder. It was only two months after Prostitutes Sorgues got married that the episodes of rage started and continued every weeks during our 12 year marriage. We did not have one family vacation without an episode of rage. It was frightening to see the transformation. He was Dr. His opinion was the only opinion that mattered, everyone else had an "incorrect opinion.

He had no sympathy for illness. Anything could set him off. A Prostitutes Sorgues not washed, a light left on, Prostitutes Sorgues 5 mins late. The punishments never fit the crime. He would pour cold water on or bang pots and pans to wake the offender up at 5 in the morning. He would disconnect the ether net cord pre wifi and take it to work so none of us could Prostitutes Sorgues work done. It became the norm to do whatever it took not to trigger his rage.

We were all walking on egg shells. The final straw was when I was painting my sons room and my ex came in, yelled at Prostitutes Sorgues, grabbed the paint brush from my hand and shoved me into the wall. It was the first time that Prostitutes Sorgues feared for my safety. My oldest daughter heard the yelling and came running upstairs. She tried calling the police but my ex shoved her into Prostitutes Sorgues wall and ripped the phone out of her hands and Prostitutes Sorgues wall.

Both my daughters told him that they dreamt he was going to kill me while they were at school or that he was going to kill us all in our sleep. He just stood there and laughed. People always ask why I didn't leave sooner. Once you are under the spell of a narcissist, it is hard to leave.

They drain you of all your Prostitutes Sorgues and physical energy. It becomes a matter of survival. Prostitutes Sorgues has been 5 years since I left. He is engaged to another woman but told my son recently that he is never going away.

No contact, no contact, no contact! My, now ex, told Prostitutes Sorgues that I wasn't loading Prostitutes Sorgues dishwasher correctly. This as all the posts is such a sad story. It reminds me of a story of someone I interviewed for the book. He said, " My ex asked me for a plate.

This is called projection. I got to divorce a narcissist who is a divorce attorney I have not been left alone for 8 years. Prostitutes Sorgues finally stood my ground and they have backed down. They will not take their claws off once they get hold of you. And never trust being nice it is a ploy to get something they want. It's exhausting and Prostitutes Sorgues have held off getting on with my life while I navigate dealing with them and raise our 3 kids.

Truly is an illness and I see that a narcissist never gets help the victim does. They have no idea and obviously don't care even if they do. I divorced one! He still has not moved on and when everything stopped involving or revolving around him, his temper became worse!

I have so much proof that if the writer would ever like to see my files, please let me know. He still tries to turn things around. He was cheating on the kids, calling hookers, but told his family I was the one cheating when he was. I have Prostitutes Sorgues phone records to prove it.

They get 10x worse when you divorce them. Get all in order before you do. All your proof, they blow their top! Married and had one child with a NPD. Prostitutes Sorgues not figure out where the rages, the lack of support and the constant accusations came from until years had passed and a threat to the family's unity forced me to check and made me discover the extent of his long going lies and serial infidelities.

Left him shortly afterwards and managed to have him sign a voluntary custody agreement where he looks good and to get a divorce, but he is still actioning me in court nonetheless. He will never let go and uses the court system as a boxing ring with no regards to the harm this does to our child.

After significant legal expenses and after realizing that Prostitutes Sorgues was really only using litigation to get to me, best move I made was to represent myself.

Besides his image, the only other thing that gets a narcissist to react is his pocket book. Every legal move I now make costs me little, but costs him tons.

My sympathy and best wishes to you all. This is truly one of the hardest and loneliest fights to fight, with no Prostitutes Sorgues in sight. I feel the pain, but hold onto the light. You have integrity, empathy and decency, and no one can't take that away from you! Please tell me how I can learn about how to represent myself?

I made him the petitioner because I knew he would Prostitutes Sorgues show our children and blame me for ruining the family. He was furious when I presented the paperwork to him Prostitutes Sorgues was just doing what he asked, I said because I was apparently supposed to fight harder to be with him, despite the fact that he was already involved with a student who had earned A's in 2 of his classes and was half his age we are both professors.

According to him, I needed to Prostitutes Sorgues him have a year to figure Prostitutes Sorgues what he wanted. I told him my 1 and 3-year old boys and I wouldn't wait and he signed in a fit of rage.

Then sued for 5 years. He never Prostitutes Sorgues have filed! He had everything. My husband buried his assets so deeply that he managed to pay no child support and at 65 I'm working full time for the remainder of my life. My partner of several years and I get along well and travel extremely well.

However, our approaches to and experiences in life have been exceptionally different. Sexually, she is not very satisfying. As a result I have had an amazingly Prostitutes Sorgues and fulfilling personal and sexual relationship with someone else.

Not appropriate, but that's the road I followed. Hence, I have been accused of being narcissistic. I Prostitutes Sorgues the response. That said, Prostitutes Sorgues never had a Prostitutes Sorgues sexual relationship in my life Prostitutes Sorgues am now I should have left my Prostitutes Sorgues for "Athens other woman," but I don't want others to think I'm always moving on.

It's hard for friends to relate to someone who always has someone new in their life. I do not believe I am narcissistic, but feel I finally have had some true sexual fulfillment. I know it's been inappropriate, but I at least feel human. I was very drawn to my partner's personality and we decided to marry and have a child. I made the mistake of not dating for long; as we both seemed to want a child and I had a small window of time given Prostitutes Sorgues age.

Once the child was born; he immediately announced that he had decided not to continue working as it would interfere with his art and that pretty much opened the door to emotional and financial conflict that only grew worse. He tried taking over my home and ordering me about and finally when I caught him using drugs in our home with an 18th month old upstairs, I threw him out.

Thus by began a long and ugly divorce in which he used any means possible to destroy me and use our son as a pawn. I finally, after going through five lawyers found the right attorney and he nailed L. Today our son has very little to do with him and feels he is "just a burden" to be around. My son and I both survived and are doing Prostitutes Sorgues but I will never forgive or forget this nightmere.

I divorced a divorce attorney Prostitutes Sorgues years ago and he still tries to harm me. He was Prostitutes Sorgues successful in convincing friends, neighbors and government officials that I am dangerous and crazy that I was arrested three times.

Plus city officials tried to take away both my business and professional license which would Prostitutes Sorgues left me without income. He effectively alienated both of my children Prostitutes Sorgues are now grown. I discovered that he supported another narcissist, Prostitutes Sorgues city prosecutor who wrote a secret report about me claiming that I had a diagnosis of sociopath. This report was used to try to crush my psychology practice.

My only protection against this man was to sue the city and the neighbors who kept filing false police reports. And I was acquitted of all charges ever brought against me. I refuse to be crushed by this horrible experience, but I grieve daily that my children one of whom is autistic have succumbed to his manipulations.

They tell people I am dangerous and crazy too. Past experience has taught me I will never be free until the man is dead, even after 25 years being divorced. He told my grandson I didn't want to be with my grandson when I really did not want to be in his grandfather's presence and be subject to his continuing anger about why we divorced and ruined "the family. I get angry sometimes because it has affected my long term relationships with my adult children Prostitutes Sorgues there can rarely be a joint gathering without the adult kids wondering what might happen.

And, it is, and always will be, about him. Taboo topic indeed, I Prostitutes Sorgues from Denmark, I am about to move to another apartment, after being in a relationship with an narcissist for 1 and half years. Prostitutes Sorgues almost destroyed my life and my identity as a person. Her family, whom are addicted to drugs and alcohol has been attacking me in different ways, because I have been fighting for the best for my three boys, two of my ex girlfriends boys and my son.

And then, there is the hell of divorcing a psychopath. Not all narcissists are psychopaths, but all psychopaths are narcissists. Psychopaths are a different species, people Prostitutes Sorgues literally do not have a conscience, and who use words as instruments for deception and vengeance, not as vehicles for true expression and connecting honestly.

The tricks of Prostitutes Sorgues "people" defy what even moderately narcissistic people would consider using. One of the most maddening aspects of these "people," is that what sets a true Prostitutes Sorgues apart, is not just the audacity of how far they will stretch the truth to shatter into expedient lies, but of how well they have honed their craft of hiding their actions.

Psychopaths usually portray themselves as the exact opposite of the the kind of Prostitutes Sorgues they truly are while exploiting their victims such that others Prostitutes Sorgues coerced to believe that the victims harmed the sociopath.

I somehow endured this for 15 years before I caught on, and was able to save what was left of my myself and my kids's lives. I could never have Prostitutes Sorgues it without the couple dozen books on this topic.

It can be done. Google Prostitutes Sorgues terms and learn as if your Prostitutes Sorgues depended on it. Because it does! Thank you for your inspiring words. I'm going through it now and trying to self-educate on the topic. I'd like to know your book recommendations. Twelve years ago my narcissistic husband confessed to a 18 month affair in which the young woman became so distressed she stopped taking her diabetic medicine and died.

He had left her and then rung back. She'd said she was ill and he told her to ring an ambulance. She died that night. There was a coronial inquiry. His number was all over her phone.

I was shocked. I had convinced Prostitutes Sorgues he was perfect. But in hindsight he was such a gestural person, performing as the all round nice guy but he never complimented me. He made love to me Prostitutes Sorgues if he was making love to himself.

He went down on his knees after the woman died. After the police reports and so on he confessed to four other liaisons and begged me to stay. He would spend the rest of his life making it up to me. Afterwards I asked him if he ever thought about the woman. He said no. Yet I thought about her all the time, thinking that if she had rung me when she was so sick, I would have rung the ambulance and come over. When I asked him how she looked, he told me I had nicer hair and she had orange lipstick that he didn't like very much.

He said he'd pretended he was a big business man. So she was an audience. There were other weird things too. Once I undertook a hypnotic therapy session in which I spent time searching for guidance on how to be good. He undertook the same session and ended up masturbating in front Prostitutes Sorgues the therapist. These things made Prostitutes Sorgues cringe, and yet I kept making excuses for his behavior.

He rarely came home and if I made a point of this, he told me I was emotionally needy. More recently my daughter from a short first marriage died. My husband had helped in her care but again in a way that was so loud. People had to know what he was doing. He left in the lead up to her death.

He'd found another woman but lied again. He insisted on attending my daughter's funeral, said he'd kick the door down. I have found since there were more affairs after his promise to make it up to me. And now he is gone and nothing clear about the divorce but I sense he is nervous that people will think he is bad so I'm walking a tightrope using that need of his to be seen as a good man. But I did get him into a relationships meeting and suddenly all of the ugly hostility came out.

It's Prostitutes Sorgues horrifying. I've lived with this man for 37 years. I'm only beginning to realize how much damage it's done to my sense of self. But I will recover. I have the backing of a family who love me.

I have parents who loved me too. I want to show my strength to Prostitutes Sorgues boys. I worked with an extremely narcissistic person and it was hell. The 'switch' you talk about - from Prostitutes Sorgues to mean in an instant - happened with Prostitutes Sorgues, where she swore and cursed, alleged everyone around her was being unfair to her.

When she first came on board she had horror stories of her previous workplace and boss and we all sympathized - Prostitutes Sorgues horrible people! Yes, it is horrific having to be in the office all day with these toxic people. They turn co-workers against each other and make everyone less productive. The husband was a textbook case of a Prostitutes Sorgues. See it if you can. Or watch Lord of the Rings…. THAT was my ex-husband. It was shocking. I knew when Prostitutes Sorgues divorced my narcissistic ex three years ago I made a mistake settling for less.

His threats of going on disability scared me. When I started a serious relationship with Prostitutes Sorgues loving man Prostitutes Sorgues showered my kids and I with gifts, he unraveled. He's also called me a drug addict since I take pain meds once in a while due to spinal injury. I'm fighting back filing six contempts this week because unless you become the aggressor they will torture you til their last breathe.

I just hope the system can see his mental disorder. She had outrageously violent outbursts of hysteria lasting about 40 minutes each time about 12 in 4 years. On divorcing her she did everything she could to alienate out two children and to see that none of our friends would remain friends with me. Prostitutes Sorgues both she was. The only thing one can do is to severe all ties, completely, percent. You will never, ever win a battle with narcissist.

They delight in the conflict as it makes them feel important. Nobody knows it. DORA They seem to know lots of things. We'd better cheer up. DORA exits. Is that a sin now? To celebrate what the sun gives us? Only black and white? Only Guernicas from now on? When now is precisely the Prostitutes Sorgues when I should flood the world with life, life, life - right, Dora?

During those last months ofhe hardly painted anything at all. Day after day, inactive, then a few still lifes, some portraits of Dora, from one perspective, from another, but nothing really significant - as if Prostitutes Sorgues were waiting, but for what? I mean, he had told Dora that, after Guernica, all the rest is junk. Junk with my signature, he'd said, but still junk.

No real masterpiece possible. And there was the war out there, all those people dying and he DORA enters, lies naked on the mattress, Picasso begins to paint her. DORA Are we done? I don't like it when you draw me asleep. I'm tired. Just keep your eyes closed and - yes, the left leg, could you move it a bit to show- DORA Oh no you don't - not until you give me my drawings. What is it? I asked him.

He passed me the notebook. It was my crotch. Page after page. DORA It looked like any old vagina to me. Not particularly appealing. Will you be able to tell the difference in a year's time, ten years from now? Oh yes. DORA Well, let me Prostitutes Sorgues it again. If you've finished, that is.

You know Prostitutes Sorgues I hate that word. What did you mean when you said you hated that word? Is that what we're here for? Until we are - finished. PICASSO We should never really finish a painting, that's what I meant, but transform it, take it to its next stage, never let it become fixed and dead. But you were far too much in love with what you'd already painted So I would go Prostitutes Sorgues and start on a different canvas.

But it was always the same picture. I recognized it under the surface, recognized them, the other pictures I have killed. So the truly courageous artist is somewhere near here, unrecognized, devoted only to his masterpiece, his unfinished, unfinishable work. Prostitutes Sorgues nobody will ever see. My one painting, brushed and stroked again and again until it will be perfect, you Prostitutes Sorgues me forever frozen in that future space, immortalized.

Lights fade on lucht and charlene, as we hear the tap tapping of a cane and balzac, blind, with dark glasses and a white cane, enters.

As if awakening from sleep, Picasso slowly acknowledges balzac's presence. Your favorite bird ever since they used to fly into your father's studio. Shit on his paintings. Made them better. Your father used to cut off the legs of pigeons, pinned them to a board. Made you copy them over and over until he couldn't tell the dead pigeon's legs from the real ones.

A Prostitutes Sorgues pigeons are now forbidden, edict of February They might be messenger pigeons, flying reports across the Channel to London.

So - no pigeons. Maybe that's why you're not doing much work anymore. Executed, Jacques, in Paris by the Germans. Apparently he hadn't read the edict of October 13th,warning people not to harbor English soldiers. Making stars, you know, yellow stars. Not that I'd know if they're yellow. I'm Prostitutes Sorgues an Prostitutes Sorgues. I cut out stars for ten hours a day.

Four hundred thousand stars on short notice. Paid overtime. Producing for France. But then at night I do other things. And you wouldn't do that. Not to a blind man. Not with a curfew on. You like the blind.

You like to paint the way a blind man touches the thighs of a woman. You said that. I paint what I think, not what I see. So painting, yes, it's for the blind. If something were to happen to you, I wouldn't have lost anything. Not one color.

That's what I thought Prostitutes Sorgues myself when I heard what happened to Paul Eluard. Something happened to-? To a preface he had written under a pseudonym for an album of Prostitutes Sorgues.

Clandestine, you know. The woman who had to deliver the pages he'd written - she was arrested on her way to her contact, and she had to swallow Prostitutes Sorgues pages. I don't think that Eluard Prostitutes Sorgues that his words ended up in someone's stomach. Would you? Would you care if someone had to eat - let's say, Guernica what Prostitutes Sorgues the only way to save somebody's life was to eat one of your future works of art?

And I prefer dogs to cats As you're not painting that much lately, except for Dora. We've been wondering why. We've been wondering if it's not time you Prostitutes Sorgues back to Prostitutes Sorgues.

Even if you can't paint pigeons. We don't want people to think that you're doing The lights fade on them both as Act 1 ends. LUCHT slaps him across the face. This moment. Waiting for me in this Prostitutes Sorgues. You knew you were protected. Something else was gnawing at you. All those children inside me, all those paintings waiting to come out, calling to me - what did Nietzsche once say?

Devoured by their children, devoured by their own creations. My art was demanding that I Prostitutes Sorgues myself alive. Come on, come on. Didn't you ask yourself what would happen once?

Come on! Weren't you worried sick about how the world would see you? If he hadn't died, what would you have-? He knew. He Prostitutes Sorgues somebody like you was going to interview him as soon as Paris was free of us. Somebody like you thinking of him, millions wondering, How is Picasso?

Is he resisting? Is he cold? The eyes of the world out there, on the horizon, all the ships and tanks pointing in the direction of France, the eyes of the world threatening to disembark in his studio and ask him hard questions. LUCHT types.

CHARLENE (humoring him) Right, of course, his whores, yes, but what nobody , , and ), Sorgues (, ), and Avignon () Pablo Picasso Study for a Construction Paris or Sorgues, spring or summer Egon Schiele Prostitute (Dirne)

Here, you write the rest. LUCHT You keep claiming you can foretell somebody's future as long as you know how he died - go ahead - do it. Picasso is safe! That's how you dreamt it Prostitutes Sorgues getting the first interview with Prostitutes Sorgues. Go ahead - start writing your book, Charlene. What would have happened if I hadn't killed him. September 1st, Today's Prostitutes Sorgues. Is that okay? With people in the streets still celebrating the arrival of the Americans.

Go on I called on him this morning in his studio Prostitutes Sorgues four ancient, dark and narrow flights of stairs on the rue des Grands-Augustins. I'd been told that his eyes were special, that he saw things in people, drew things out of people, women, that nobody else saw, drew, understood.

That's what I'd been told. But others were in far more danger. Did you participate-? I did what was asked of me. I stayed while others left. The world will see what I painted. The words you kept on rehearsing in your mind? Ready to fling to the world once it was all over. I've never given a flying fuck what anybody thinks of me. I've digested everything you've ever said, painted, followed your every sigh and belch and color.

Biographers are not that different from murderers: we both stalk the subject, utterly absorbed, entirely devoted. We only live for them, the dead. We end up knowing too much.

I knew what Prostitutes Sorgues him tick, Charlene. He was from Spain. A man of honor, to Picasso Hating yourself every time something terrible happened and you did nothing, every day the temptation to say yes, I could hide this, I could forge that, I could transport this, nobody would suspect me, I am more protected than my friends and yet I say no. LUCHT And all Prostitutes Sorgues while the interview, your interview, Charlene, hundreds of questions like yours, waiting for him, Prostitutes Sorgues eye of yours, right, Picasso, just like mine, on the beaches of France, waiting both of us for the invasion that would Prostitutes Sorgues him face to face with the need to tell the world that he wasn't a coward.

No more lies. Not now. I was obsessed with the future, with my legend. But until that moment, before that rash, desperate moment in - oh, Charlene, he was Watching my every word. I could not know who was listening, spying on me. So careful I made Prostitutes Sorgues I did not give a damn.

DORA Leiris? I think Picasso is being followed. Have you noticed anything strange, have you-? She used to be one herself. So she knows what she's talking about. Do you think another woman's out there, my dear, trying to lure me over to her table? Have you heard, Leiris, about how she got my eye at Les Deux Magots-? DORA I'm dead serious. Somebody is out tirere. Like a head scientist in a lab. At least let me be a Minotaur.

DORA Right, the Minotaur, thinking with his bull's head that he's safe, invincible there in the blind center of whatever stupid darkness he's cloaked himself in - ready to ravish his maidens as they approach.

But what if somebody has the map to the labyrinth, smelling out your weaknesses, registering our movements, researching our lives, listening to this very conversation? But you used to be a photographer, you have that eye for the transitory, you'll end Prostitutes Sorgues nailing him if anyone can, my dear. Or nailing her. DORA Oh, he was listening. But he fooled me like he fooled everybody else.

To business. The Anchorenas insist on their door. What Anchorenas? You agreed to paint a door for them when you lunched at their house. They won't pay until you deliver. He also came by yesterday. He - has a petition that protests the arrest last month of the foreign Jews. We hear the tap tapping of balzac 's cane. Lights change and Prostitutes Sorgues watches balzac enter the scene. Nobody else can see the blind man.

A drawing. It belongs to another artist. He needs to sell it, he's living in - he's in hiding. You mean, that man out there?

No, I don't think so Are you mad? Not to be asked. My God, man - the Germans have just invaded the Soviet Union, are advancing everywhere. Otto has written. A German artist - abstract, that sort of stuff. Picasso's friend since We can start on another one tomorrow, right, Dora? This time, I sleep, you watch? Died in Poland. Soon after he arrived in the camp at Maidanek.

I made Prostitutes Sorgues Picasso heard about it. What should I do with this - this letter from? The house where I Prostitutes Sorgues born, in Quimper, where you were once our guest - it has been ransacked. MAX They've carried off my childhood memories. They might as well have burnt them like junk in the street Prostitutes Sorgues front of my house, Prostitutes Sorgues used to be my house. You need not come. Just a few lines would give comfort to this old friend.

I told him we'd have nothing more to say to each other. But God was more important than our friendship. So - it's as if he died. He'll manage on his own. A few scribbled lines? Visit him? Who do you think went to see Max? Bearing not even a gift for the man who had rescued him from the gutter. MAX I made him, Dora. Without me he would have drowned in the drunken swamp of his Spanish friends.

All they could do was cook beans all day and fart away the night. That's when I took him in Prostitutes Sorgues cared for him. I believed in him more than I believed iti myself. He told me to shave my beard and I shaved my beard. I even got myself a woman. A woman. That didn't last long. How does he Prostitutes Sorgues MAX How would you feel if you were forbidden. Forbidden to travel, to enter a library!

Forbidden, Prostitutes Sorgues, to buy food, except between twelve Prostitutes Sorgues two in the afternoon. Forbidden a phone, forbidden to ride a bike, forbidden to sell the bike I can't ride or anything else I can Prostitutes Sorgues can't ride, sell anything at all, forbidden, Prostitutes Sorgues to manufacture, to be a lawyer, a doctor, to make baskets, to work at a bank, verboten, Prostitutes Sorgues, interdiction.

I cannot Prostitutes Sorgues buy a stamp at the post office. DORA Prostitutes Sorgues remembers you every day in his prayers. DORA He knew. He knows that only your work will keep you, all of us, from going mad.

I told him how, when we were at Mougins all those years ago, everybody after lunch, Eluard, Nusch, Man RayPenrose, Lee, they would all get up from the table and shout, to bed, to bed - and you would laugh at them, all going off to fuck and Prostitutes Sorgues shout: PICASSO To work, to Prostitutes Sorgues. Yes and they'd emerge all sweaty and spent and happy a few hours later and we'd have something new to show them- DORA And that night we'd make up, Prostitutes Sorgues and me, late in our room, make up for lost time, with the surf pounding nearby.

DORA That's more recent. I can't take responsibility for that one. WTiy do you always have to ruin everything? DORA It's a joke. You're Prostitutes Sorgues one who has to ruin things. Tea leaves as well. Any cheese? I have forgotten how to laugh. MAX You're right. I want him to remember me as I was when I dressed up in women's clothes and danced with Apollinaire.

Apollinaire once said of me: Max is the only man in Paris who knows how to laugh. LUCHT Dora had gone, poor thing, hoping she might find out more about Max's prophecy, if there was any way of avoiding Picasso's death in He must have sensed that there was something I wanted to ask, because when I started to say good-bye MAX whispers in her ear He will leave you.

And he will survive. He always does. Like a shirt. He will shed you, my dear, like a Prostitutes Sorgues. DORA No. Oh yes he would. Like a color you cast on a canvas one night and erase the next morning. Her turn would come.

But it would not be easy. Do you know when Prostitutes Sorgues was born, Charlene? Like you. We're almost twins. Gestating inside her mother while Picasso had been painting those five Demoiselles, as if whispering to him DORA I'll be the only one someday, you won't need five or six or seven, just me Safe while I am around.

France and Its Spaces of War

That first night of theirs, side by side. That first night? Did you make love to Prostitutes Sorgues as soon as - right away? DORA Not right away. What do you think?

You will. DORA Do you always paint the future? Parallel forms of existence. DORA And Prostitutes Sorgues future Prostitutes Sorgues you see for me? You will fool Death. Let him close enough.

Just close enough so that I can catch a glimpse, paint his fingernails. Protecting me, my Dora. DORA I'll settle for the next hundred years. He was already looking for someone younger.

CAMÉRA CACHÉE: FÊTE FORAINE

DORA I wouldn't have let you keep him, you know. DORA You thought he'd fall in love with you. Prostitutes Sorgues virgin! Wanting to imagine death without having opened the one door that brings you close, to the border, to the border and then draws Prostitutes Sorgues back, gasping for breath, still on this side.

And here you are, thinking you can write about what Picasso's life would have been if Lucht hadn't killed him. Poor Charlene. Prostitutes Sorgues could have saved Prostitutes Sorgues, your Picasso, if Prostitutes Sorgues had met him in time. Over and over, I've done it - even as a child, the first time somebody I loved died, he - my father. I willed him to be alive Prostitutes Sorgues my mind, conjured up the Prostitutes Sorgues of his Prostitutes Sorgues, how he would have reacted, day by day, minute after minute, except for that oncoming truck.

What I did for Lorca. What you could not do for Picasso: see what was bearing down on him, warn him, protect him from Lucht. Prostitutes Sorgues many lives lost in this war.

And if we can rescue one, even one DORA Not you, not me. Nobody could have Prostitutes Sorgues what Lucht was doing Prostitutes Sorgues trap Picasso. I needed to find the one person, the one man or woman whose destruction would irreversibly push Picasso over the brink, make Prostitutes Sorgues blunder into my arms.

Fill him with such remorse and guilt that he would lose control, blow Prostitutes Sorgues caution, his cowardice, away. You know, Charlene, now that it's happened, it looks inevitable.

Almost effortless. But then, at the start - in front of me I had all these names LUCHT continued Who did he love the most?

Who could he protect the least? What a chase you led me. Made me waste almost two years. I didn't know it was you. Crawling inside your head, that was the way to do it.

Beating you at your own game. Painting, just like you, what I was thinking, imagining, not what I was seeing with my eyes. LUCHT Waiting, waiting, waiting for the day when Prostitutes Sorgues could ferret out who he was protecting, the person I Prostitutes Sorgues to arrest to Prostitutes Sorgues him into action, wait for that day in Prostitutes Sorgues when the French police handed me the occasion.

July 16th,to be precise. Lights rise on leiris and dora in the studio, Picasso enters dragging the handlebars and saddle of a bike. What do you Prostitutes Sorgues A saddle? It's a bull. The head of a bull. PICASSO passes a sheet and broom to dora so she can act out the role of the matador, while he places the handlebars on his head and snorts, paws the ground, charges past her, while leiris shouts "Ole. I know my way in. The question is Prostitutes Sorgues we know our way out.

The phone rings. He called before. Do you know what impressed me most about him? That he kills with one clean stroke. And he never moved his feet, no matter how close the bull came. Tell me, Mademoiselle Markovitch, which side - I mean you know him so well Isn't it the thrust of the horn, the threat of the horn in the flesh, that makes the dance real for the matador?

Manolete was most brilliant at the moment when he was most threatened. That is when you can best judge the quality of anyone's style, art made true by the risk of death and failure. The Matador is on two feet, the animal is horizontal, tied to the earth. There is no match. DORA vehemently That's right! The bull dies. The bull always dies! At times, somebody spares Prostitutes Sorgues bull. Prostitutes Sorgues Since when do people have so much pity?

Long pause. PICASSO I Prostitutes Sorgues hardly hear him - screeching behind him, in between his legs, was a rooster called Victor - a gift from a friend so he and Marais can have a good dinner and Cocteau says he hasn't the heart to kill it, would I know anyone we can trust to take it to the countryside so it can live its life out with lots of fresh air.

It had to be Cocteau Picasso was protecting. Cocteau said he'd join me, didn't mind someone else getting bloody. Whom I think you also know. With their enormous penises. If they'd had an erection nobody would have been able to move, Cocteau tells me.

Prostitutes Sorgues - Hooker, Escorts & Sex Worker Near Me - 𝒔𝒆𝒙𝒚-𝒅𝒂𝒕𝒆.𝒏𝒆𝒕

It lasted the whole month Breker was here. Which is why I came along today. I thought you might be alarmed by what is happening. I wanted you to know that this is entirely in the hands of the Prostitutes Sorgues police - they are the ones Prostitutes Sorgues are rounding up the Jews.

DORA How many are being-? Not quite, because I myself eliminated some names from the list. That's why I came today.

So the Master would know that nobody close to him has been taken to Prostitutes Sorgues stadium at the VeI d'Hiver. DORA And when is this happening? And - from there - I Prostitutes Sorgues not asked. He's Catholic. And well protected. Max is an angel. Nothing can happen to him. LUCHT If you had admitted Prostitutes Sorgues slightest disquiet, thanked me for making sure Max was all right, mentioned Prostitutes Sorgues family, could I see Prostitutes Sorgues they were safe, but your feigned indifference - ah, there was the lie that revealed the truth.

Treating Max with such coldness, because Not Cocteau, not Leiris, not Dora. Finally there, at my reach, someone, this Max Jacob, I could play with at my leisure over the next two years, until the moment was right. Lights rise on max Jacob, lucht turns to him.

Picasso had set out to shock, right? That's what he Prostitutes Sorgues. To be hated. To paint something nobody would ever dream of hanging on their bedroom wall. And now the Demoiselles are on all the bedroom walls So somebody who is prepared to really go all the way - to the bitter end and not flinch. Do something that the whole world would repudiate. That would be the one way to be superior to Picasso. MAX But you know, Pablo didn't do Prostitutes Sorgues to help us understand.

He was in a dark mood while working on the Demoiselles. And yet, I'll tell you a secret. Pablo painted me into the picture.

MAX Originally, in the first drawings, also present was a sailor - you know, who'd come to be inaugurated. And that sailor - was me. Later Pablo got Prostitutes Sorgues of that figure, erased it, only wanted women staring out at us. MAX Well, not entirely. It turns out that there was another man in there originally, a man who was lifting a curtain to take a peep, having a look-see at the whores - and that man, that was also me. Except that Pablo made him into a woman. Just as Picasso would leave him out, Charlene, erase him all those years later, when Max wrote to his friend, Fm about to be arrested, they 're coming for me, Pablo, they Prostitutes Sorgues coming for me.

But Picasso would not respond, Charlene, not do a thing. Our brave Picasso would do nothing during that whole year of when he was supposed to die according to Max. Sound of a train Prostitutes Sorgues, train wheels turning, reminding us of the transports. Max Jacob in Drancy, praying, and Picasso.

What do you think he was Prostitutes Sorgues for, desperate about, that day in March ofwhen Max Jacob was in Drancy? Where is it?

WTiere's it hidden? She'll know where it is. She must have hidden it. DORA Whatever you're looking for, it's in your pocket. Dora took it home, I don't blame her, there's nothing more beautiful in the whole universe- DORA So this is why he wanted me to come so urgently. What is it he's-?

I never take anything from here that you didn't give me. Unless you signed it? Did you sign your red feather? You weren't here yesterday, by any chance? You know what I do when I'm out of town. Prostitutes Sorgues worried there's going to be an air raid, they'll cut off the gas and he won't be able to cook for his wife. No lunch! I don't mind staying.
