    What’s Really Wrong With Them? A Spiritual Look at Narcissists and the Soulless Walking Wounds Among Us… I’ve talked a lot lately about narcissists – the gaslighting, the manipulation, the lies, the endless games.

    Message from Beyond: On Healing (Granny Frass Unfiltered)… Ah now, look at you, pet – healing in yer own sideways, sweary, half-sarcastic way. Who says it has to be all incense, deep breaths, and kumbaya? I see these folk lighting candles the size of small children, chanting about letting it go, and good luck to…

    Raw. Reflective. With a Dash of Gallows Humor… Some mornings I wake up and think: ‘How in the name of God am I still standing?’ I didn’t ask to be in a family feud. I didn’t ask to be gaslighted, stonewalled, lied to, or dragged through years of probate purgatory. And yet – here I…

    The family that claimed close contact – but kept their distance just fine. Ah, the pandemic. A time for reflection, banana bread, and discovering just how far people would go to avoid pulling their weight. Some families grew closer during lock-down. Mine? They discovered a goldmine of excuses that even the CDC would struggle to…

    Well now, darlings… it’s your old Granny Frass here, leaning in through the veil with a mug of something warm and a word or two for whoever needs it. Seems like the world’s still overrun with small-minded folk pulling petty tricks and calling it ‘helping out.’ Same old game, different day. I was watching from…

    You know what people rarely talk about when it comes to family dysfunction?The pettiness. The sneaky, petty little acts that aren’t big enough to scream about but leave a bruise all the same. The acts that, over time, tell you everything you need to know about someone’s need for control. I’ve lived this. I still…
