Cynthia Bailey-Rug · From The Desk Of Cynthia Bailey-Rug…
I haven’t watched all of your videos, mainly because my husband is a night owl, which means he sleeps during the day, and I have to turn the sound up loud in order to hear with my hearing loss. Also, when I have the sound too loud, it gets our dogs riled up.
But I watched this one just now, because of the title. I was thinking “Goodbye? Is Cynthia shutting down her blog? NOOO!”
I’m glad you aren’t shutting down your blog!! I’m still a little sad that you aren’t planning to do any more videos, because even though I haven’t watched all of them, I have gotten a lot out of the ones that I have watched. Watching your videos feels a lot like having a conversation with a friend. But I want you to do whatever is comfortable for you. And I can still go back and watch the videos that I have missed.
I feel super self-conscious when it comes to being photographed or on video, so I get it. The legacy of growing up with a narcissistic parent. 😦

I can certainly understand that! No point in watching them if it’ll upset the furbabies or wake hubby! Pretty much the videos are the same info as this blog anyway.
That is so sweet.. thank you! I’m glad you feel that way about my videos.
Yea, that legacy is something special, isn’t it? My word… thanks for that narc parents.

Your video and blog have helped me so much and I’ll continue to follow your blog. I applaud you for setting boundaries (hard for children of narcs) and stopping something that was not in your best interest right now.
I also don’t like seeing myself on video.

Thank you so much for your comment. I truly appreciate it. ❤
Seems not liking to see yourself on video is a very common thing among children of narcissists, sadly.

I will miss your wisdom. I certainly understand, as I also hate my voice and image. I’m not hideous looking or sounding either so im not sure why other than some of my family are the same, I do know it makes me feel very exposed and raw. I make myself get over it long enough to smile for the family photos but more then that well, you have been very brave. Really what I want to say is thank you very much. Many many times your words were just what i needed to hear. Knowing those words came at a price to you makes those words and you even more respected. Thank you

That seems to be something so many children of narcissistic parents deal with, hating hearing & seeing ourselves, & forcing ourselves to go through with pictures even when we don’t want to. I’m so sorry you deal with that as well.
Thank you so much for what you said. I greatly appreciate it ❤

It’s wonderful that you’ll leave them up and, especially, that you will continue to write! Your insights and wisdom are like a warm embrace from a loving friend ❤ 🙂
