As the years went by his mood swings were more frequent, threats to hit me and grab me became a normal part of life, damage to the house, cheating, storming off, not returning home and the lies.

When I had my son I finally listened to my gut, I couldn’t ignore it now as it wasn’t just me being affected. I started talking to my family. They listened, comforted me and then I finally left my husband.

Physically leaving a narcissist was hard but I underestimated how much he would still live inside my head. I went to support groups, counselling, courses on narcissists and domestic abuse but nothing was helping me get him out of my head. The mind games and abuse continued after we separated.

I did a Quantum Freedom Healing workshop but I didn’t know if I was ready to let go of all the anger and resentment.

I now know the abuse was not my fault. I lost my business, friendships, savings, left with debt and a broken Soul from the emotional, psychological and sexual abuse.

I have learnt how important it is to take the time to do the inner work. I thought it was selfish to work on my healing when my son is also suffering from the actions of my ex-husband but there is nothing selfish about it. If anything it’s crucial to work on your own healing to become a stronger parent and person.

I felt a difference after the first NARP module. I am currently fighting to protect my son against his narcissistic dad but whilst I am I know my worth and to not blame myself for what has happened.

I’ve been doing NARP for a year and know freedom of abuse is possible and I am so close to getting there.
