I’ve been thinking this week about the leading news story regarding the young woman who was found dead and her boyfriend is missing. It’s bothered me and triggered some pain for me due to being a survivor from a narcissist relationship(s). When I see the video of her crying, the “meltdown”, I know he crossedContinue reading “Why the Narcissist Crossed the Road”

Trouble doesn’t last but the trauma doesn’t stop. I heard someone say that quote and it resonated with me. We’ve all had our share of trouble. Everyone has experienced something. Childhood trauma, abandonment, emotional, physical, sexual abuse, death of a loved one, a job loss, a break-up or divorce, a health issue, trouble with theContinue reading “Trouble Doesn’t Last but the Trauma Doesn’t Stop”

I was talking with a friend in my tribe. I was basically having a one on one session about childhood abandonment, narcissist, and boundaries. I told a story about when a family member asked me for something and I told them “no”.

If you or someone you know is physically or emotionally abandoned as a child, your perception isContinue reading “Abandonment Robs You”

I believe I’ve used up all my words this week. I have done a lot of talking but I’ve also done a lot of listening. Not just listening to business needs but listening to personal issues. I’ve met several people that have talked to me on a personal level. I’ve heard about bad breakups, aContinue reading “Listen to me”

I would like to share information and educate everyone from an adult’s perspective on what happens to a child that is abandoned. When a child no longer has their mother or father either physically or emotionally, it is not for that period that it affects the child. It continues to affect the child until theContinue reading “A is for Abandonment as an Adult”

Jealousy and envy are not words I identify with easily. I’m generally always happy for someone who has more than me or is doing better than me. I’ve always viewed it as I was fortunate to be their friend so they could share their blessing with me. So when I speak on this subject ofContinue reading “Hey Jealousy”
