All of My Articles On Being Raised By Narcissists (and put through trans conversion therapy)
I’m okay now.

I PUT MY ARMOR ON SO I COULD FINALLY PUT MY SWORD DOWN

Hi! My fellow survivors healing from narcissistic abuse have helped me a lot over the years. For most of my life, I kept my story to myself. I only told the lies my family insisted I tell. The ones that served them are the ones that kept their abuse and the impact of that abuse hidden.
Keeping their secrets was killing me one day at a time.
Thankfully, there is hope. There is healing. There is recovery.
These are my articles that deal directly with narcissism and what it was like for me to be raised by (and escape from) my family. The F&F links get you past any paywalls if you came here first and can’t afford to subscribe (you only get three free reads).
These are hard to read. Most of them aren’t about what my life is like now. I’m okay now. Or getting there :)
I hope these stories of hope and recovery help you tell the next part of yours ❤
