I am so sorry...

I had to walk away...But they didn't want me anyways. I have been the black sheep since I was born. It was for my safety, my girls safety,my sanity. I was always full of stress and anxiety being around or talking to my mother or family, so it was best to walk away. The stuff they put me through and no child should have to go through at any age... I am finally free, it'll be 2 years at the end of December. I miss the person, the picture of her I had in my head, the person I wish she was.... I've never had a mother, never knew what love was from a mother....

... Read moreWalking away from family due to narcissistic abuse can be one of the most challenging decisions for an individual. It often stems from long-term emotional distress, manipulation, and a lack of parental love and support. Many people find themselves feeling like the 'black sheep' of the family, resulting in mental health issues such as anxiety and stress. In order to heal, breaking these toxic connections can be crucial. Survivors of domestic abuse often report feelings of guilt and sadness when they decide to separate from their family members, despite knowing that it is necessary for their mental well-being. This decision does not come lightly; it is often accompanied by a sense of loss for the person that could have been. Support is essential during this healing process. Many resources and communities offer guidance to navigate these complicated feelings. Connecting with fellow survivors helps to validate experiences and provide solace. In addition to support groups, therapeutic interventions like counseling can play a significant role in recovery. It’s important for survivors to acknowledge their feelings and work through them with the help of professionals. This enables them to build healthier relationships and develop a better understanding of self-love. Empowering oneself to break free from abuse can lead to a fulfilling life filled with self-discovery and emotional stability. Overall, this journey is not just about walking away; it's about stepping into a life of freedom and healing.

How to Apologize the Right Way
So many people confuse an apology with simply saying “sorry.” But a real apology goes way deeper than that. It’s not just about checking a box — it’s about owning up, holding space for the other person’s experience, and choosing to grow from it. We ALL mess up sometimes. You’re not weak, dra
