Why it worked

Original caption

I was terrified to tell my parents how bad it was. When I finally found the courage to leave, he ran a smear campaign against me and my own family didn’t believe me. But who were the first people to assault me, berate me, and make me shrink as a child? Whatever is happening to you, I believe you. You don’t need your family to stand by you to get your life back. And mine lost access to me by how they handled all of it. 🖤 #narcissisticabuse #domesticviolencesurvivor #divorce #toxicfamily #HealingJourney

But who were the first people to assault me, berate me, and make me shrink as a child? Whatever is happening to you, I believe you. You don’t need your family to stand by you to get your life back. And mine lost access to me by how they handled all of it. 🖤
