About Me

After decades of being gaslighted, lied to, manipulated - with every major achievement belittled and every failure rejoiced in, not in a way that was obvious, but with gaslighting.  Just when I thought my mother couldn’t say anything else to devastate me she sent me an email asking me if I wished she was dead.

So I researched online and here we are.  I looked for real life stories, found many helpful articles and even bought a couple of ebooks, on how to identify a narssistic parent,  and how to start the healing process.

One suggestion was to write about the experiences, horror and trauma.  I tried, but doing this put me into a depression spiral lasting nearly 3 weeks.  Then I thought … Blog.  I can add a little every day or every couple of days and still be able to tell my story without becoming overwhelmed. 

So here we are.  I hope if you are reading this, that it can help you in some small way.  I hope too to heal through this process but it’s obviously important I remain anonymous.   My mother, if identified would destroy me, and that‘s not an exaggeration.
