You are here

Making my way

So I got back on here after a couple of years taking a break and it's nice to see people being kind. When I joined it was a blood bath when I posted so I wanted to share how much my life changed and be careful of the haters on here.

I was married and was a step parent to one child  for ten years. We also had a child together. My ex husband and I entered therapy towards the middle of our marriage and he was diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder. It was a terrible ride of a marriage and very abusive. The therapist we saw recc to me finding a chat group. I found this place and decided to blog and try and find people to talk to and to vent.  Unfortunately, I was not treated very well and got off due to being basicly told off and that I was the crazy one. With that being said we divorced and I am so very happy! So for those haters on here just know you weren't very nice in a time of great need emotionally for me. You made me feel worse. And your not doing anything for people who try and vent and talk on here. Your making the situation for that person worse. Please know any one of you that if you share your story and someone goes out to hurt you that says more about them then what you are going thru. Now that I am past that time in my life (almost two years) I wanted to share you can find kindness and it will be ok. Being a step parent was the hardest thing I could have done. Not because of the child but because of the abusive individual I chose. I am still a step parent in some ways to that child and now have a much better relationship with him.  I should have ended the marriage years before and I stayed and wanted to make things better however it took ending the marriage to make things better for all of us...well except him....hes still a miserable person.... but going thru Covid 19 alone is much better without him. I hope someone can find hope to not listen to the haters and to keep their chin up. 
Have a great Thursday!

Yes It was. I had the website take the bad conversations off and I got off for a couple of years.

Feeling as you do, I'm surprised you wanted to come back but I hope it's a happier experience this time around.

ON your new life and success in getting out of a really terrible marriage.

Yes, I truly believe being alone is far better than being with a narc.

I'm very proud you have left your last relationship! Especially with a narc! They are very evil and yet very cohesive with there words. I'm proud of you. I wasn't on here years ago but happy to see you decided to come back and tell the story for a positive outcome for the betterment of you and your sanity!

 

major kudos to you and at blessing

Ugh.  My exH was diagnosed with NPD (and HPD and OCPD).  I'm glad you got away.  I hope you recover from the trauma eventually.
