Narcissistic abuse is real! If you experienced this you’ll need a lot of support healing-be gentle, educate yourself. Help is near!

ℹ️🌿 NARCISSISTIC ABUSE | ***TRIGGER WARNING***
They didn't just hurt you; they tried to erase you. It could be your parents or your ex. The invisible wounds they left made your body and mind shut down to survive the gaslighting and blame. They wired you to think that love is all about them and their selfish needs.
Narcissistic abuse is a hammer meant to destroy your sense of self, and you get ensnared in a cycle of blame and self-protectiveness.

Narcissistic abuse may crush your boundaries, leaving you frozen in self-doubt and constant demands. You are left to navigate distrust, chronic shame, and a nervous system wired for danger.

Healing begins by unmasking these tactics and reclaiming your narrative through therapy. Learn to identify the red flags. By unmasking the manipulator and reclaiming your story, you heal.

You are not 'crazy'—you are a warrior awakening to your strength. Your strength returns with a 'no,’ and your pain becomes your armor. Step into your power, one boundary at a time.

I love this poem about grief by the incredible John Roedel - A short writer.
Grief is a coral reef ❤️❤️❤️

when somebody else tries
to tell you how you should grieve

smile and forgive them
through your watering eyes

and then imagine
how lonely it must be
to be the person who
audits the tears
of other people

the well intended
will tell you how
long you should miss
your beloved

but

you take your time

grief is a hedge maze
and being lost inside of it

is more than okay

don't race through
your heartache

because you might
just miss a miracle
or two

in the teardrops rolling
down your face

don't grieve quickly
just to make somebody
else feel better

if you need to,
let your grief
become a coral reef

let the algae of your hurt
slowly form over the years
into the softest violet hue of heaven

it can take two lifetimes to recover

when our beloved becomes
an empty chair

it's okay

take as much time
as you need

your healing is your healing

and the scars of absence
will itch longer than you can imagine

but that is because you
risked to love so deeply

and that is far better than
the alternative

I am proud of you

and the courage it
takes for you to grieve
so fearlessly

don't listen to those
who want you to go back
to normal

normal will never exist again
for those of us who have
lost a part of our heart

if the moon broke in half
would it feel normal?

~ to hell with normal

normal was their scent on your collar
normal was their voice resting in your ear
normal was their touch on your skin

you have a new normal now

it's looking at the shape of clouds
for messages from the great beyond
that your beloved is fine

you have a new normal now

it's building a cabin in
the woods of your memory
where you and your beloved
can meet for lunch

you have a new normal now

it's crying and laughing
at the same time
whenever their favorite
song plays on the radio

grief isn't the enemy
of life

numbness is

don't become numb to your suffering

welcome your grief
inside and let it wrap you
up like a blanket
whenever shows up
at your door

~ it's okay

I swear

~ it's okay

your beloved misses you just
as much as you miss them

and someday
you two will
get all tangled up
together again

someday
you two will
push each on a
swing again under
a shower of falling blooms

and someday
you two will ride
comets together
on the edge of everything

and someday
you two will giggle
at all of the people
who tried to tell you

how to grieve

I love this idea so much. I still have my mom’s cell phone number listed as DAD. She took over his phone and I still can’t bear to change it in my phone. It’s been 19 years!
Love you dad! Aleays will!
