…but he’s never hit me: intro

Hi, it’s been a while! I know I’ve been MIA on here for quite a while this time, but creativity has really hit bedrock. I have ideas, but no way to form the words.

Anyway, I sit here tonight to start something new. This platform has been my little escape and a way for me to express my feelings through poetry. But for right now, I have something else in mind. For you long term followers of mine, you’ll understand a little bit of why my poetry (especially in the beginning) was so deep and emotional, even a bit sad.

For anyone new who reads this series, thank you for stopping in, I hope I don’t send you running!

This new series is going to be me opening up about my personal experience of living in a narcissistic abusive relationship.

I decided to write this because I know how hard it has been for me, (and still is, I am still in it) and how isolating and lonely it gets after so long. I want to raise awareness so that other people can say, hey that sounds like my life, and it’s not ok, but thank god it’s not just me. Trust me you’re not crazy.

This first little post here is just my intro to the series. This is not pre written or planned out, this will just be me writing my experiences. I will be putting trigger warnings just in case what I talk about is too sensitive a topic, you’ll be able to skip that story and maybe read on a different part. If for some reason this ends up being helpful, who knows, I may make it a book and share it with more people.

For now, thank you for sticking around ( I hope you do, anyway) stay safe, stay vigilant, you are loved.
