Inner Bruises

Please indulge me. I am in an abusive marriage (everything BUT physical). This is going to be my therapy outlet until I get a real therapist...and divorce. 🙏🏻

@picklemedic22 Where do you live (state). I can try to help you do some research. Do you have a lawyer (re: the Modest Means statement)? Could you qualify for Legal Aid? If he is military, you can contact his commander.

@peaceblitz This is what my Narc is doing right now. At every one of his family get togethers. Probably at work too.

@GaslightingEfct This is almost too close to home to read. Almost a trigger for grief for me. But 1000% true

@CaseyRu26061106 Me me me me. I spent years being embarrassed, especially when I find out after I was in their company. That’s hideousnand he is hideous

#narcissisticabuse we were stupid, tricked, groomed and lost the best years of our life. We have to forgive ourselves for being sold an empty box.

@GaslightingEfct Again...mine to a T

[Move Through To Thriving @MThriving]

* Important * Read this a few times; really let it sink IN. The #narcissist RELIES on OUR continued efforts at holding THEM together - our denial of their disordered thoughts & destructive behavior is the foundation from which abuse continues. Break the ILLUSION; accept truth.

[Inner Bruises @InnerBruises]

@CaseyRu26061106 Me too. From the DAY he moved out. We didn’t have to walk on eggshells or wonder who is coming home - the nice one or the angry one.

[Inner Bruises @InnerBruises]

@GaslightingEfct OH MY GOD. This is mine to a T

Abusers leave lasting impressions but they do not get to define you.

Nobody gets to tell you who you can be.

Nobody gets to decide you don't matter.

Nobody gets to silence you forever.

@NarcAbuseRecvry Oh sweetie. I know the torment of dreams. Sometimes I wake up gasping for air. I need to take melatonin and Trazadone TO sleep. I e read about these new meditation apps that tell grown up bed time stories. Google that & try. Keep a happy pic on your nightstand. 😘❤️👍🏻🤞🏻

Realize.......1. Realize the difference between someone loving you and loving what you do for them. 2. Realize the difference between someone wanting what is best for you and wanting you to do what is best for them. 3. Realize the difference between respect and self-respect.

The officer I wrote a thank you note for thanked ME for the feedback and told me he appreciated it because they often don’t get thank you notes. If an officer is helpful in your DV situation, tell them. They need to know. It’ll help future victims💜 #domesticviolence

[MindScars @mindthrivellc]

What makes them feel powerful? ANY reaction from you.

What's their greatest fear? That they don't matter. To be irrelevant.

[Things @HeSays2me]

I think I'm finally starting to understand how this gut instinct thing works. If something doesn't feel quite right but you can't quite put your finger on it, it's probably your gut telling you it isn't right.

[Inner Bruises @InnerBruises]

@picklemedic22 Bring doctor notes documenting the various abuse. Type up a page of possible witnesses. I didn’t qualify for Legal Aid but instead for a category called “Modest Means”. $20 consultation, hourly fee $150 vs $375 and a low retainer.

@bgdadyspnkbtm All the time
