the AFTERMATH

It has been a year since I left my narcissistic ex-husband who gaslit, manipulated, lied, and physically, verbally, and mentally abused me throughout our marriage. Since then, the abusive emails and texts have stopped, but the false accusations and poisoning my step-kids against me continues. I recently found out he was somehow monitoring my conversations and texts to my friends while I was living in our old house. I feel so invaded and disgusted that I let this person in my life. Thank The Lord that I moved out of that place! I’ve had more than 80 counseling sessions in the last year on how to move past his abusiveness and take my power back and its working! The good news, he has become a non-issue to me. I just don’t care about him anymore. Yes, I have scars, but the wounds have healed, and my mind is in a much better place. The only thing I care about is my step kids and 2 of the 3 have come back into my life in a big way! There is a light at the end of the tunnel. It takes courage to recognize signs of narcissistic abuse and make the decision to remove it from your life. But, from my experience, I can say it was totally worth it. I feel like my old self again and am no longer afraid of my own shadow.
