Author Joanna Moore–Narcissistic Abuse Survivor
I’m going to outright say that, I do not like the police. I don’t trust them, and I wouldn’t call them for an emergency. Never again. I tried calling the police a few times when my narcopath ex was raging and going crazy. I never got any help. One officer in particular had it in … Read more
A few years ago, I wrote about a former “friend” of mine that started to show me red flags. He later killed his wife and then himself. When it happened, I was stunned that he’d gone so far, but at the same time, I wasn’t totally surprised because I had started to see through him … Read more
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
Dear judge, today a sociopath entered your court room and took you for a ride. He played you for a fool. He got one over on you. You got conned. Don’t worry, you aren’t the first. You aren’t even the first judge. You aren’t even the first judge *this month.* You see, this person has … Read more

Directly after I left the narcissist, I realized that I couldn’t trust any of our mutual friends. Immediately, my world got smaller. From the very start, I didn’t have many people I trusted. I’d already come from a narcissistic family, which was why I’d been so vulnerable to another abuser. I already had very few to … Read more
Narcissists want to control every little detail of your life. Even if it does them no good, they must be in charge. Even if it makes no sense, they must be in charge. No matter what you do, they want to be the ones pulling your strings. I used to find that my narcopath ex would … Read more
I do not believe that mass shootings are a mental health issue. In fact, I think that is a slap in the face to millions of people who would never think to kill anyone! (For the record, I don’t think they can be fixed with gun control either, but that’s not really the point of … Read more
In case you haven’t heard, Harvey Weinstein is a Hollywood producer who has been sexually harassing, molesting and raping rising actresses for years. It was a well-known “secret,” but women are starting to come out publicly now. Lots of women…including some of Hollywood’s most famous actresses.
