It is time
Sometimes it takes time to find beauty in struggle. Abuse has been a surreal experience for me. The trauma, the confusion, the pain & the growth have lead me on the path of discovering what purpose means to me. I am grateful for the experiences in my life that have brought me here. Here, it is my hope, that you might find some inspiration, validation & knowledge that give meaning & hope in your life as well.
Bravery"You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. Do the thing you think you cannot do." -Eleanor Roosevelt |
Narcissistic Abuse Awareness 1. Love bombing: A repetitive cycle of intense praise followed by verbal/emotional abuse. 2. Gaslighting: Comments and/or behavior that is made to have you question reality or your sanity. (I never said/did that) 3. Villainizing your feelings & reactions. (Calling you crazy) 4. Constantly avoiding responsibility for their actions. ("I'm sorry you feel that way" or "I don't think I did anything wrong") 5. Having a lack of interest in you as a person. (& even telling YOU who you are; pushing a false narrative) 6. Entitlement. You owe them. This can be especially damaging in the form of sexual coercion. |
HopeYou're not a victim for sharing your story. You are a survivor setting the world on fire with your truth. And you never know who needs your light, your warmth and raging courage. -Alex Elle |
This is a place to share my personal story of life experience, abuse & healing in the hope of helping others relating to similar experiences. Everyone has their own experiences, truths & interpretations of abuse. There is no right or wrong in a healing journey. Opinions are my own. I am not a therapist or licensed expert in diagnosis of personality disorders.
