  Have you ever wondered what different colors represent or mean? I’ve been hooked on purple lately, because the purple ribbon is a symbol for domestic violence awareness. Domestic violence awareness month is October and the World Narcissistic Abuse Awareness Day (WNAAD) is June 1st every year. It’s a time to come together and show support.   I’ve always loved the color purple. I searched the internet and found these facts about the color and I wanted to share a few: Sources: https://psychologily.com/color-purple-in-psychology/ and Quotena.com Purple was often associated with royalty, power ..read more

ON A SERIOUS NOTE…

Though I love using analogies when shedding light on narcissism, I thought I would share some information to help those in need currently. Those that don’t know what to do, safely. Narcissists are dangerous, and if you leave you are most in danger over the first three weeks. Remember, narcissists need to control you, and you leaving takes that control away. Here is a website that provides information about domestic violence, whengeorgiasmiled.org. There’s an app for domestic violence prevention called the Aspire News App. It allows victims to call for help immediately. On the website there’s a ..read more

Emotional punching bag

  Are you feeling beat up? You don’t have to have visible bruises to be “beat up.” Emotional abuse is real and just as damaging. I was asked one time if there were visible bruises and when I said no I knew just what this battle was going to be. A battle that was forever uphill.   As victims, we almost wish for black and blue marks just so we are believed. How silly is this? Imagine a world and more importantly the court systems that recognize emotional abuse as a severe crime against our rights. What’s the answer? The uphill battle of he said she said is tortuous, long, and draining. We aren ..read more

But, that’s how it’s supposed to be

  We all have expectations about life, people, and circumstances. We have a “norm” that we point our moral compass to. We usually don’t even think about it unless something happens out of the “norm” and it catches our attention. Even then we still might not sit and ponder the events like we should in order to get to the truth. The tugging of how it should be keeps us in a toxic relationship for too long and keeps us from digging deeper into what reality is and what we deserve.    Making excuses for a narcissist is very common. I did it. ”Oh he is sick today. It will get better. He is just hav ..read more

It’s like a tunnel

  Entering a relationship with a narcissist is like entering a tunnel. There’s an excitement at the beginning because it’s a new journey. A journey that you assume will be safe, fun, new, and adventurous. Well, it’s a journey for sure. There is some excitement and lots of surprises along the way, but it’s not what you think. Not at all.   A lot of us don’t realize what we are getting ourselves into when we start a relationship with a narcissist. Most of us don’t even know the true meaning of the word, let alone know what’s in store for us. As we enter into the relationship further, the bright ..read more

  I’m so grateful to be alive today, to share with you once again from my heart. This is my zone of service to all of you who are interested in narcissism and who are survivors of their abuse. It’s a deep connection we have and one that needs to continue and be shared with others.   Narcissists are calculated individuals. They plan their attack on their victims with never-ending energy that exhibits no boundaries. The damage goes in every direction and the clean up can take a long time unless you are empowered with knowledge. This is where I come in. :-)   Narcissists are good at setting you ..read more

  Are you around someone who you feel like you have to cross reference what they are saying? Do you find out later the truth about a topic that you were lied to about? Are you constantly wondering if you are being told the truth? Do they talk about the same thing over and over again to make their point so you totally “understand them?” Well, maybe you are around a narcissist. It’s worth researching and understanding why you feel so confused, doubtful, and suspicious.   A narcissist uses people as their supply for their insecurities and their games. Creating confusion gives them a leg up on yo ..read more

Chameleons, Colorful but Ubiquitous

Thank you narcsaremykryptonite for your support of my blog!!    Some of you may have read my fictional novel, The Chameleons Among Us. I so enjoyed writing the book, because it had such a strong purpose which was to shed light on the ubiquitous problem of narcissism highlighting the chameleon-like behavior that they exhibit.    Narcissists can be camouflaged at least for awhile as they perform underhanded tactics that seem so subtle sometimes, that us healthy people don’t put it together right away. They can somewhat adapt to their environment like a chameleon changing colors and stay hidden ..read more

A shout out to Stella who always likes my posts!!! Thank you so much. It motivates me to keep writing. :-)   Imagine a world where red meant go, green was stop, the sky was green, the grass was blue, black was white, and white was black. It would be a little bit to get used to, a little strange, and to say the least it just wouldn’t feel right. If you are a victim of narcissistic abuse, this altered reality might be your norm and you don’t even realize it.    Dealing with a narcissist is like a land of opposites. The opposite of what they say is probably the truth. I didn’t catch onto this ri ..read more

  One of the effects of being around a narcissist is being a victim of their relentless invalidation of your identity. This is one of the worst things that a narcissist can do especially to a young person. What are the effects of this you ask? Well, it can change your life’s trajectory by eliminating your ability to live in reality and cope with everything that life can bring. It can lead to a life of complete turmoil.   A narcissist has many tactics that are used to invalidate your thoughts, your dreams, and even your identity. Feelings of not mattering or not being important are devastating ..read more
