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

Narcissistic abuse Survivor Stories

 SURVIVOR STORIES



“Her Truth Didn’t Die With Her”

Submitted to the Heal Loudly Movement. Name changed for privacy.


Some stories come in and leave a mark on your soul and this one carved itself in deep.


A survivor recently reached out after watching one of our videos about emotional murder. Her message hit like lightning: painfully honest, deeply moving, and tragically familiar to far too many of us.


She lost her mother to suicide.

But it wasn’t just suicide.

It was emotional murder.


 “The day I lost my mother, I knew how, why, and who was responsible.”




This survivor watched her mother suffer at the hands of a narcissistic abuser for years until it broke her spirit. She tried everything: speaking out, pleading with family, friends, even the police. But no one listened. Not really. Not enough.


They closed the case. Wrote it off as mental illness.

But they never asked what caused that illness.

They never questioned who cultivated the despair that killed her.


Her father her mother’s abuser still walks free. Still wears the costume of a good man. He even has the churches fooled. But behind closed doors, this man orchestrated the slow and steady destruction of a woman’s will to live.


  “I can’t tell you how many times I’ve tried to explain it what he did to her. What he put her through. But people don’t want to see it. He plays the part too well.”




This survivor is done being silent. And she’s right to be. She called it what it is: a public safety hazard. Because when abusers are never held accountable, they don’t stop. They just move on to the next victim.


And we we who see it we have a responsibility to expose it.


 “I truly believe if we got enough people’s stories out into the world, it would make a difference.”


She’s not wrong. That’s the heart of the Heal Loudly Movement. Her story and her mother’s story deserve to be heard, honored, and remembered as more than a statistic or a quiet tragedy.


Because her mother didn’t die because she was “mentally ill.”

She died because she was emotionally tortured.

By a narcissist who still pretends to be the victim.

And that that is the epidemic no one wants to name.


But we will.

And we’ll keep naming it.

Loudly.


“Her truth didn’t die with her. Not on my watch.”



ORIGINAL LETTER (Unedited)


> I was truly so moved by your video, the day I lost my mother I knew how, why and who was responsible. I watched my mother live a sad life of torture until it ultimately cost her her life. I can’t tell you how many times I've tried to express what you did in your video to loved ones, friends, anyone who would listen to me to expose her abuser and try to hold him accountable for this unforgivable treatment to my mother. I pleaded! With the police to listen to me and they closed my mother’s case and chalked it up to mental illness without realizing who, what, and why her mental health deteriorated resulting in her taking her own life.


The pain this monster has inflicted on me and my mother will unfortunately never stop because he paints himself as this perfect man on the outside to everyone—he even has the churches fooled.


I wanted to reach out because this is something I’m extremely passionate about. When you said it was emotional shmerder... That's literally!! What it is and it won’t stop if we don’t spread awareness to others. In my opinion it’s a true and valid safety hazard to society that monsters like that walk around and just continue to their next victims with no repercussions!


My mother did take her own life but the truth and facts are so much deeper than that. The horrendous actions of my father is and should be held responsible.


If I can help in any way! Whatsoever to the message you're trying to send, I'm all in! I truly believe if we got enough people’s stories and what they went through out there in the world it would make a difference. So again please let me know. I’ve finally come to a place mentally where I’m ready to share my mother’s story, her truth. No one should ever! Go through narc. abuse.


If you’ve read this and made it this far, thank you so much! Your video made me realize I’m not alone and what my mother went through is very real. So again thank you! For all you do!

Too many survivors die before they’re believed.

Too many abusers walk free, hiding behind charm, status, and false smiles.

And too often, the truth is buried with the victim.


This is not “just” suicide.

It’s psychological homicide.

It's emotional murder.

And it's happening every single day.


Victims of narcissistic abuse aren’t just “sad.”

They’re systematically broken down isolated, gaslit, manipulated, and driven to believe death is their only escape.

This epidemic is real. It’s silent. And it’s deadly.


The Voiceless Justice Act is a federal petition to recognize narcissistic abuse as the lethal psychological warfare that it is and to hold abusers legally accountable when their victims are driven to suicide.


No more silence. No more dismissal. No more pretending narcissistic abuse isn’t fatal.

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.
