Bunny, read your OP and just wanted to give you the biggest hug. Whether you wanted it or not!!
From my reading of it, you did share the celebration with your family, and it is hard when the things we would love most in our lives are missing. Crying is a really natural response, and a release that allows us to carry on with the next bit of life. We none of us know what is going to happen next, all we can do is keep putting on foot in front of the other, and deal with things as they come.
Wishing you well, and be gentle with yourself.

I think when a person starts to wonder if they are a narcissist, then they are really not a narcissist, or if they were, then they are not anymore.
My favorite 12 step quote of all times: "We're not bad people trying to become good, we're sick people trying to become well."
Be kind to yourself.

I hope this thought helps. I got this from a friend at an AA meeting. We were discussing our weaknesses and the concept of envy. To me at least this was a very enlightening thought. John said that he often wondered why he was such a screwed up person. Then he realized that he was comparing his inside thoughts and fears to everyone else’s outside façade that tried to hide all their defects from the world. Perhaps this applies to your situation too? At least speaking from my personal experience I have all sorts of dark thoughts that I would never share openly.
What’s “normal” anyway?

Bunny, you haven't done anything wrong. Nobody is free from sin or anger or negative thoughts... I am a Christian, and not a fluffy one, but I don't want to get too deep in to "Jesus talk" here because I don't want my posts deleted. Lean on the Word of God, that's what you can trust. We can't trust our own feelings to tell us what to do. We simply can't. We also shouldn't rush spiritual maturity or aim for perfection, we will always fall short, no matter how long we work on ourselves. That's why we study and go to church to be ministered to and why we pray, because we need that guidance, always.

There's a school of thought that all the radiation from ultrasounds and mammograms can actually CAUSE cancer as well. All things I will need to research on. I said I was going to get this test done a year ago...it took me a year. My sponsor kept telling me to live in reality. We are sober, we deal with reality. We face things. That doesn't make it easy though..........
BUNNY How are you???
