  I know you’re exhausted. I know you’ve been screaming in silence, hoping someone anyone will see you, hear you, save you. You’ve given everything. You’ve loved with every ounce of your soul. And yet, here you are, shattered, discarded, questioning whether you were ever worthy of love in the first place. Let me tell you something that I wish someone had told me when I was drowning in that same darkness: This is not your fault. You were not too much. You were not too needy, too sensitive, or too difficult to love. You were not unworthy. The way they treated you the gaslighting, the manipulation, the endless cycles of cruelty and false hope was never about you. It was about control. It was about power. It was about keeping you in a world where they were the sun, and you were only allowed to exist in their shadow. I know that voice in your head the one that whispers you’re nothing without them, that no one will believe you, that you’ll never be free. But that voice? That’s not your v...

 To the One Who Feels Trapped and Left with Nothing You Are Not Alone I know what it feels like to be discarded like you never mattered. To give everything your love, your loyalty, your soulbonly to be thrown away like you were nothing. I know what it feels like to watch the person who once swore they loved you turn cold, heartless, as if you were just a phase they grew tired of. It feels like dying while you're still breathing. And if you're still in it if you’re stuck, walking on eggshells, playing a role just to survive I know that pain too. The way you have to be careful with every word, every breath, because one wrong move could set them off. How you have to hide your real thoughts, your real plans, because if they knew you wanted out, they'd make you pay for it. How you feel like you’re in a prison with invisible walls, and no one on the outside can see that you’re trapped. But listen to me you can get out. You have to get out. It doesn’t matter if you lose your house...

If you grew up in a narcissistic family, I don’t have to explain what it feels like to be the scapegoat the one blamed for everything, the one who was never enough no matter how hard you tried. You know what it’s like to be gaslit by the people who were supposed to love you. To be told your feelings aren’t real, your pain is an overreaction, your truth is just “being dramatic.” You’ve spent your whole life wondering what’s wrong with you. Why you never felt truly safe, why love always came with conditions, why every time you tried to stand up for yourself, you were met with rage, silent treatment, or guilt so heavy it crushed you back into submission. But let me tell you something that took me far too long to learn: It was never you. It was always them. A narcissistic family system is built on control. They need a scapegoat to blame so they never have to look in the mirror. They need an enabler to smooth things over and keep the peace. They need flying monkeys to do their dirty work. A...

 Surviving the Unseen War: The Reality of Narcissistic Abuse I have stared death in the face more times than I can count. Not in the way most imagine no car crash, no sudden illness, no fleeting moment of tragedy. No, my near-death experiences were methodical, slow, and crafted by someone who claimed to love me. They didn’t pull the trigger or tie the noose but they handed me the weapon and whispered, “The world would be better without you.” This is what narcissistic abuse looks like. It isn’t just manipulation. It isn’t just control. It’s psychological warfare, a relentless assault designed to strip you of everything your identity, your reality, your will to live. By the time you see the truth, you're already too weak to fight back. And if you dare fight, the punishment only grows worse. The Horror of Living in Their World Narcissistic abuse isn’t something most people can understand. There are no bruises to show, no police reports to validate your pain. The wounds they inflict ar...
