The Woman Who Saved Me: Donielle Jolie Yanez and the Power of Healing Loudly

To the One Who Feels Broken, Lost, and Invisible This Is for You

 


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 voice. That’s them. That’s the conditioning of a master manipulator who built a cage around your mind and convinced you it was your home.


But here’s what they don’t want you to know: You are already free.


They don’t own you. They never did. Their approval was never the measure of your worth. You existed before them, and you will exist long after they’re gone. You are still here, still breathing, still holding on despite every storm they’ve thrown your way. That is strength. That is power. That is proof that you are not weak you are a survivor.


Right now, I know the pain feels unbearable. I know the weight of it is crushing, and the idea of another day feels impossible. But I promise you, there is a future beyond this moment. There is a life waiting for you that is filled with light, love, and people who will cherish you for exactly who you are. There is healing. There is peace.


I know because I was where you are. I was drowning in the same abyss, convinced I was nothing, convinced I had no way out. But I was wrong. And if I had given in, if I had let that darkness take me, I would have never known the life that was waiting for me beyond the pain. I would have never known what it feels like to wake up without fear, to laugh without guilt, to love without walking on eggshells.


You are not alone. I see you. I believe you. I am fighting for you. And if you are reading this, please, stay. Stay one more minute. One more hour. One more day. Stay until you can see what I see in youa survivor, a warrior, a soul that was never meant to be dimmed by someone else's cruelty.


You are enough. You always were. And you always will be.


With all the love in my heart,

Daniel Ryan Cotler

Toxic traits of covert narcissists

 Welcome to the Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Community Blog and Podcast. Today, we delve into a critical topic that affects many people: the toxic behaviors of covert narcissists. Covert narcissists are often more challenging to identify than their overt counterparts because they hide their narcissism behind a façade of concern and care. This concealment makes their toxic behaviors particularly insidious. Understanding these behaviors is essential for recognizing and protecting yourself from their harmful effects. The first toxic behavior of covert narcissists is hiding and concealing their true identity. They present themselves as caring and concerned individuals, but this is merely a manipulation tactic. Their apparent concern often feels phony or forced. Many targets of narcissists are empaths, who can detect this lack of genuineness through gut instincts and intuition. If you feel that something about their concern is off, it’s likely because it is. Recognizing this false concer...

Why do narcissist’s discard their partners

Narcissists discard their partners cruelly due to several psychological factors rooted in their personality disorder. Understanding these factors can shed light on their behavior and provide some clarity for those who have experienced such treatment. Lack of empathy is one of the defining traits of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). Narcissists often struggle to understand or care about the feelings of others. This makes it easy for them to discard partners without considering the emotional pain they cause. Objectification of partners is another common behavior. Narcissists typically view their partners not as individuals with their own needs and emotions but as objects that serve a purpose. When a partner no longer fulfills the narcissist’s needs—whether it be admiration, validation, or control—they are seen as disposable. Narcissists have a strong need for control. Discarding a partner cruelly can be a way for the narcissist to assert dominance and control. By leaving in a hars...

From Silence to Justice: My Journey Through Narcissistic Abuse, Survival, and Fighting Back

 From Silence to Justice: My Journey Through Narcissistic Abuse, Survival, and Fighting Back There was a moment one I will never forget when I stood on the edge of existence, nearly becoming another nameless statistic of suicide due to narcissistic abuse. The weight of betrayal, gaslighting, and psychological warfare had nearly consumed me. My abuser, Francis Zerella, did everything in his power to destroy me, from relentless smear campaigns to false accusations meant to silence me. But I refused to disappear. This is my story. Not just of survival, but of reclaiming my voice, turning my pain into purpose, and now, fighting for justice with the upcoming Voiceless Justice Act petition a movement that will demand real change for victims of narcissistic abuse. The Breaking Point: When Silence Almost Took Me Narcissistic abuse doesn’t just break hearts it breaks minds, spirits, and lives. It is not just emotional pain; it is psychological warfare, designed to dismantle its victims piec...
