This is an open letter to my narcissistic mother for Mother’s Day. I have found all of the Mother’s Day advertising this past week to be really triggering. Writing this and making this video was very cathartic for me. I have been no contact with most of my family of origin for 7 months now. […]
I had a lot of fun making this video. I hope you learn something new and enjoy. 🙂 Symptoms of CPTSD (click the link for a downloadable word document of the video Transcript) Symptoms of CPTSD: Emotional Flashbacks (typically do not have a visual component): These involve negative feelings such as Anger, Shame, Humiliation, Abandonment, […]

I tried to go no contact with my narc mom and narc golden child sister. I thought it would be good for me to stay away for a while. Then, I decided I’m too sentimental to do that to my family. Maybe I’m wrong about them. I love them so much and the 3 of […]
