YES!Who belongs on WoN?
You do! At least we hope you make WoN your home away from home! 
The WoN community is a learning place for anyone whose life has been impacted by someone with a narcissistic personality. Our membership is comprised of people who were raised by narcissistic parents, people who partnered with narcissists, those who work
with or
for narcissists, people choosing to stay in narcissistic relationships, and for people dealing with any other narcissistic relationship causing distress and confusion in their lives.
We do not have a medical or psychological staff qualified to assist people with a narcissistic personality disorder. There are better venues for people with NPD. If you have a narcissistic personality disorder, we ask that you respect forum member's healing process and refrain from posting messages on the WoN forum.
Our intent and purpose on WoN is to support the people who have been
or are impacted by the narcissist. WoN is the right community for you if your personal values align with the following statements:
You want to learn about pathological narcissism
You have read our Mission Statement and willingly respect WoN guidelines
Your life has become unmanageable and you want to end the chaos
You want to get better, feel better, and be better
You are willing to ask for help
You are willing to give help
You are willing to learn about and practice self-regulation
You are interested in creating a support network for yourself
You value reciprocally nurturing relationships and interdependence
You are willing to treat others (and yourself) with respect and dignity
You want to create healthier boundaries for yourself

Group collaboration is key to achieving our collective and individual goal: restoring peace and sanity in our lives. Understanding the narcissistic pathology allows us to separate ourselves from unhealthy enmeshment by creating healthier boundaries. We also practice emotional self-regulation. As a group, we support one another’s efforts to learn, unlearn and relearn healthier ways of living. We also encourage one another to stop trying to change the narcissist or control his or her behavior; we help each other keep the focus on ourselves by remembering that the only power we have to change anyone
is with ourselves.Joining a supportive community facilitates our recovery process. We hope WoN is the perfect fit and that you'll feel comfortable helping us build a safe place for people to learn about narcissistic relationships. We know how hard it is to feel good in our skin again, to trust other people again, to resist the urge to isolate ourselves for fear of being rejected, ridiculed or shamed. We understand because each of us has felt similar emotions. But you CAN feel better. You CAN regain control over your life. You CAN become the person you want to be...one step at a time.
Or on WoN, we might say: One Message At A Time
Love,
Charlotte
