Save Yourself
Over the course of our relationship the blame was always laid on my shoulders. As is the norm when you are living with a narcissist, and that doesn't change when you leave either. They still feel that they are in control of what you do and it will take a very long time, if ever, for you to actually keep them out of your life.

Take the Power Back
When you leave a narcissistic partner be very aware that the abuse will not stop there. They will continue to do everything in their power to try and control you. This is where you must find your strength to continue speaking your truth. The rage that you have witnessed during your time with them is nothing compared to a narcissist who feels that you are a threat to them. You are one of the rare people who have seen the true person who resides inside them and they will stop at nothing to prevent the truth from getting out.

I am Forever Sorry
From the bottom of my soul, I apologize to you. You may never know how much I hurt for the things that I allowed to happen to you because the old you has vanished into thin air and a new version has appeared. If I could simply go back and change that one day we would have never been faced with the hell that we survived. We would have walked the other way and not reached out to grab his hand and he rode by and pulled us up unto his nightmare. I may never forgive myself for letting his smoke and mirrors fool me into allowing him into our lives. For it was that one action that changed who we are forever. 7 years we spent with him and the carnage that he left in his wake will sit inside us for the rest of our days.

You were right about one thing.
In the beginning you always told me that we had some sort of connection that could never be broken. You were always sending me quotes about soulmates and saying that you had never been in love before me. You were so damn romantic and I had never felt so good about myself. You did everything you possibly could to make me feel loved and wanted. You sent long love letters through emails and text. You would send me videos of you singing love songs to me. How could I not fall hard for you?

She's Magic, Fire, and Peace
Go quietly, please don't make a big deal of this." He thought in his head as he picked up the phone to end a 7 year relationship with a text message. "I'm done with you. I've taken all I can from you and now you're showing strength that I can't handle."

The Princess and The Pandemic
First, I would like to start off by saying that yes, I understand that the pandemic is here and there is not much that we can do except follow protocol and let it run its course. I am by no means diminishing any of the efforts made by the frontline workers who are dealing with the impact of this virus daily. Nor am I diminishing the impact this virus is having on the unfortunate people who have contracted it. I have always had and will always have the utmost respect for frontline workers. I do my part to not catch or spread the virus the same as I always have with even the common flu.

Did My Dog Just Save Me from Disaster?
Something happened to me the other night that has made me realize that my world may not be as safe as I was letting myself believe. This has also raised many questions in my mind about if men understand what it is like to grow up learning how to always be on guard no matter where you are at. Maybe I overreacted but that leaves me to question if, like animals, our instincts as women are passed down from the female line which we come.
