Final Blog (For Now)
My life has been busy, a little too busy for blogging. Having a website also costs money and as I have been saying lately about any extra costs, “in this economy?” I don’t make money from my blogs, they are free. They take time and effort to write. Time is hard to come by. (Side…

The Craziest Part of Narcissistic Abuse
It has been a minute since I’ve been able to write. I’ve been busy (in a good way). I want to take a moment to write about the craziest part of narcissistic abuse- feeling crazy. The one thing that I haven’t been able to shake has been feeling crazy. I’m not sure how to explain…

One Year of Blogging
It is crazy to think that one year ago I started my blog. An entire year full of healing, sharing my healing and focusing on self-love. After going no contact, I spent the first six months resting, writing and figuring out exactly how to heal. At first, I didn’t necessarily know that I needed to…

Introducing: The MIL
After I survived a year of emotional abuse, I felt like I needed to document what happened to me in some way. At first I thought I would start a blog, but I didn’t want to spend the money to start one up. I was also nervous of the “what if’s” that ran through my…

Life is so strange after trauma. I’ve been on my healing journey for over a year now and although it shows, it doesn’t always feel like it. Healing has so many ups and downs. I know that I have crossed oceans, but the hard days are still hard. The worst part is that time feels…

Abusers with Power
Today is November 6th, 2024 and not my favorite day. Although, I’ve lived through much worse days. I have been so stressed about this presidential election. Some days, it has eaten me alive. I couldn’t see myself being okay if trump was to win. I am not going to lie, it did break my heart.…

The Dark Side of Emotional/Narcissistic Abuse Recovery
By the time that this blog goes live, it will be the end of October so this is a pretty spooky topic for Halloween. It is currently the end of August as I am typing. I am ahead of schedule with my blogs and am pretty proud of myself. Being ahead gives me time to…

Protecting Your Kids From Toxic Family
“But they’re family…” That is a phrase that will end with me. I think that family is important. To me, nothing is more important than my child and my husband. I love the rest of my family as well. I just am focused on my immediate family first and foremost. I am so grateful to…

Can You Bully Me After Postpartum? Thanks
Within one year, I experienced giving birth, becoming a mom, postpartum healing and emotional abuse. That last one, the emotional abuse, was the one that really seemed to suck the life out of me during that year. Sleep deprivation, learning to be a parent, recovering from giving birth, postpartum, you name it, was all a…
