In my experience, any major event with The Narcissist was stress inducing… holidays, anniversaries, and most definitely birthdays. Over the years that we spent together the impending doom of this birthday month became something that created so much stress and anxiety for me. It became one of the many hoops that I had to jump through […]
I ran two marathons while I was married to The Narcissist. A marathon is an accomplishment at any rate, but it feels extra monumental for me. I was not a runner… I was pretty much the opposite of a runner when I met The Narcissist. I had never run more than a 1/2 mile in […]
This weekend I had the pleasure of participating in the Boston Women’s March for America, and found the entire experience to be deeply moving. I’ve been on a kick of empowerment lately which has been awesome – and that is the best word that I can think of to describe participating in the march… empowering! […]
Life with The Narcissist had me on a constant quest for perfection. I was living in a state of always feeling like I wasn’t enough in some way, shape or form.

Today I also celebrate a brand new chapter at work… with the confidence that I have […]
Since the very first time I came across the terms Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Narcissistic abuse, I have spent a great deal of time doing research on these topics. I strongly believe that knowledge is power and I have found that understanding exactly what was going on in my marriage has been the key to […]
My Narcissist was a black hole of neediness. He required that I constantly be pouring love, affection, confirmation, etc. etc. at him. He needed constant proof and evidence that he was the most important thing to me. He was exhausting in every sense of the word… and he literally sucked the life out of me. […]
I realized last night that the Narcissist even controlled which side of the bed I slept on and how I slept. You see the Narcissist had this crazy need to always sleep on the side of the bed that was furthest away from the door. This meant that regardless of which side of the bed […]
I saw a news story the other day about a boy who died after his girlfriend gave him a hickey. Apparently his girlfriend’s love bite caused a blood cot which traveled to his brain and he had a stroke and died. The story is horrifying and very sad, but the hickey topic jogged some memories […]
