After five years of enduring a toxic relationship with a narcissistic and abusive partner I've finally reached my breaking point.The emotional and physical abuse I suffered at his hands left deep scars and despite my patience and hopes for change our relationship never improved.I've come to realize that I deserve better and I'm taking steps to heal and move forward.Today, I choose myself – my well-being my happiness and my freedom.

this is me.. 4 years with a physically violent and narcissistic man and yet I stayed. The amounts of times I was called a wh***e will take years to reprogram my brain to feel like I’m not one when I speak to a platonic male friend. I still hear him in my head when I so badly want his control to just be gone. He’s physically gone out of my life for almost 60 days now because I got a restraining order but he’s not out of my head. We got this though.. and the pain will eventually subside. Honestly Psalm 91 has really really helped me when I begin replaying things in my head because for me it has been a spiritual protector to those thoughts. Narcs have demons attached to them that will kill and destroy everything in our lives but if we are armored with spiritual weapons the enemy will not win by placing those things in our hearts and heads to poison us. We are so early into our healing but know that you are not alone.
dating a abusive partner can ruin your mental health.i think you need to see a psychologist so that you heal ❤️

his made me think of how she used to talk about her scars like they were normal. it was only when she left that she realized how much she had accepted as everyday life.
my partner was really controlling, but one day i accidentally emotionally threatened them about this relationship and they left me.
freedom is weird, its relieving and excruciating.
dating someone who is controlling it's painful because you can't tell them about how you feel
i stayed way too long too. the day i finally walked out felt shaky but also like i could breathe again. it takes so much to choose yourself after all that, i just want to say i see how strong that is.
And it is a hard decision to take. sometimes you feel like you took a wrong decision by choosing yourself
the day i stopped waiting for him to change. i hated myself for staying that long. five years felt like i threw my whole twenties away. even now i get mad thinking about the times i begged for scraps.
I know this feeling i regret each and everyday why i stayed long in this relationship.now i have a anger that i can't control I don't have patience in everything i do
I completely relate to you. I was in the same situation as well. leaving such a toxic relationship is the hardest thing to ever do especially with a narcissist. im so proud of you. choosing yourself over anyone is the best thing you can do for you. hang in there. it’s hard but we got this.
