Dynamics of an Abuser's New Relationship (article) by Marcia B. Roberts on AuthorsDen

Dynamics of an Abuser’s New Relationship (article) by Marcia B. Roberts on AuthorsDen

Dynamics of an Abuser’s New Relationship Excellent quick read for anyone in recovery from abuse that grapples and deals with harassment by a former partner’s newest partner, or for any “neutral” parties involved with the DV dynamic. When my then-husband’s fourth (yes, you read that correctly) mistress took it upon herself to get my phone number and reach out to me to ‘introduce herself’ and tell…

Yes Virginia, there is a Swatch the Mood Dog.

Oh what brilliant hearts were bursting the moment this pic was taken! A very happy little designerista-fashionista was able to meet Swatch the Project Runway Mood dog when we last visited the store. Sewing and creating are (or can be) modestly priced hobbies that I am thrilled to be able to see take root in the minds of the little ones I love. It’s starting to dawn on us here how much closer we…

Road Trips and House Hunting

How do you keep priorities in check and your cash balance steady when road trips and house hunting are on the horizon? Well, as a family that has chosen to live with less so that our time and resources can be better invested in life experiences, when a move to an extremely high priced real estate market is in the hopper, we can count our b-lessings that compact living is now our preference. I may…

Man Shows Off Incredible Transformation Of 258-Square-Foot Apartment | SF Globe

I am absolutely in love with this Lego Like Abode. Granted, the price tag is bound to be a little more than modest, but oh my how lovely a concept! If there was a kiddo room tacked on, I believe 450sf would suit us just fine with that type of beautiful efficiency and scenery!

"Decluttering as a catalyst for narcissistic abuse recovery"

“Decluttering as a catalyst for narcissistic abuse recovery”

Decluttering as a Catlyst for narcissistic abuse recovery is SUCH an excellent article, and a concept I try very hard to remind myself to put into action everyday when continuing on my path to recovery. Healing from narcissistic abuse is a daunting task, and when there are multiple years and layers of unraveling from your #FOO to an #NPD spouse to deal with, it can be nearly crushing with the…

7 Signs You Are a Victim of Gaslighting

Does anyone wonder what exactly long-term (subjective) emotional abuse can present itself as? “7 Signs You Are a Victim of Gaslighting” is a great resource. If you have a curiosity, feel free to read this article. I’m planning on adding a new section to this blog devoted strictly to recovery from abuse as it seems to be a topic that is in need of coverage, unfortunately. And for full…

“Get Over It.” Wow. I bet that is exactly what he will tell our child if they ever agree to see him again, despite them remembering incidents even I am foggy on because there was so much pain caused in his addict tempered rages that in his mind they “never happened” and my PTSD blurred them together into one nightmare. Gaslighting, 101. I’ve stayed silent for long, but when people come into MY…

Stalkers

Why don’t I show my face on here? Or my children? Because despite being a business owner, writer, returning to college for an advanced degree survivor, to some people I am just a target. Why? Because I am all of those things mentioned above and it burns them up that I won’t let them in on my failures or successes firsthand. So, stalkers that don’t deserve to be named – leave us alone, and stop…

Indoor Trapeze Artistry and Other Great Heights

Santa brought a sensory pod that was installed on a beam that runs between the diminutive dining room and living room. It was meant to act as a cozy cocoon for both grown-ups and little ones alike here at the new home, but it seems to have been taken over by a very thrilled H.J. in her quest to become a “trapezist!” She recalls me taking an aerial arts class when she was a toddler and life was…

I love You, my bug. I will always wave flags proudly, loud and proud however you wish.

We have been through SO much, my little love, and you are so relevant and cogent in your personhood – so when you choose to pick up your rainbow flag, fully understanding the symbolism, and saying to anyone that will listen, “my gender is not your business, I know that I love, and one day it won’t matter to you WHO I love,” my damn heart nearly breaks with fear and pride at the same time. You are…
