Narcissists purposely violate your boundaries
If you ask a narcissist not to do something that violates your boundaries, they will keep doing it, and every time they will act surprised when you still don’t like it.

You don’t have to be in a hurry to be a survivor

When the system fails your child, who will help?
After my abuser assaulted me, I gave him another chance because he promised to get help. Soon after, he assaulted my child. I called the police to make a report and kicked the abuser out of my home for good. The police decided that since there were no marks on my child, I was lying. … Read more
