Author Joanna Moore–Narcissistic Abuse Survivor
I often wonder why the narcopath picked ME to marry when he was a lifelong bachelor at nearly 60 year old. (Although I have some bits of evidence that he was married to others….) As far as I know for sure, he had never been married. He had been with hundreds and hundreds of women, … Read more
If you have spent much time in support groups for abuse survivors, you probably already know this: good parents often lose custody of their children to their abusers. It is sickening, but it is true.

My narcopath ex has a sugar mama. Yes. For real! He used to brag about her to me when we were married, and he told me that there was a rich old woman who loved him and would marry him and support him any time he said the word. Gee, sure sounds like he appreciates … Read more
I had to deal with the sociopath today because he visited my son this weekend. I hate those weekends! Sociopath has been testing boundaries lately by calling my phone to inform me of his visitation plans. Our court approved mediation states that he must email me by Wednesday and is not allowed to call me…so … Read more
Some time back, I wrote a blog about how my father threw me aside like trash while raising his second daughter with every thing she needed and more. Despite having the same dad, our lives were extremely different. I became a statistic of divorce and she was raised by both of her parents. When … Read more
I haven’t been posting much lately because I have been in a great place in life. However, this post is going to be filled with frustrations. It’s not a happy post, but it is reality. There are a lot of us out there who are living with genuine terror, PTSD, anxiety, depression and more after … Read more
