Healing from Narcissistic Abuse is like grieving a death…your own.
I count the entire ‘relationship’ as part of my healing process as well…because the ‘nonsense’ started in the first month…the rest was just further eroding of my emotional wellbeing.
Start to finish almost 6 years of a very tough journey.
2 years of a very emotionally damaging experience and almost 4 years in actual recovery…that is not a good ratio.
Our life is a journey of learning from our experiences.
I had spent 55 years of my life just going through the motions…being directed and redirected by other people’s life, wants and desires.
This tough cycle made me learn to be present in my own life.
The person I was no longer exists…that is the only way I could survive.
I was able to still hold on to my goodness…which was a miracle in itself…while I got rid of my own mental junk that allowed the entry of such a person and experience into my life to begin with.
That kind of an experience cannot and will not be repeated again.
It is an impossibility for any of that to be repeated again…after I know what I know.
I am not that same person anymore…I’m a super version of myself
Healing….it’s a life long journey.
