My blog is not technical, I am not a counselor or mental health professional in any way. I am a survivor of domestic abuse by someone I consider to be a psychopath/narcissist. I had no idea what had happened to me, I have shared every step of my recovery and every bit of information I have found on narcissists and psychopaths; good and bad, in hopes it helps someone else. I try to provide factual information and verify any information I share.
Please do not use it as a substitute for professional help and if you are suicidal or fear for you safety please seek professional help.
This blog is meant to raise awareness about an epidemic that will affect 1 in 3 women in their lifetime, globally. In North America at least one woman a day dies at the hands of her intimate partner. They don't have stats on how many children or other family members die because of domestic abuse. There is a recent increase in mass shooting in the US, with an alarming percentage of the shooters having recent reports of domestic violence.
Domestic Homicide is one of the leading causes of female deaths beating out car accidents or attacks by strangers.
55% of female murders are committed by their intimate partner compared to 5% of male murders. And only 16% of female murders were committed by a stranger.
Personally, I had never been in an abusive relationship prior to my ex and I did not understand the dynamics of an abusive relationship, that is why I will continue to have this blog in an attempt to raise awareness and hopefully save lives.
Namaste
Carrie
Almost daily I receive email or messages on one of my other social media from a victim of narcissistic abuse requesting to speak with me privately.
As much as I would love to be independently wealthy and able to help everyone free of charge I just can not.
I don't have any secrets that I only share privately, everything I know about narcissists I share here for free. But if you feel you need one on one consultation I can be reached at reimerc@outlook.com to make arrangements for personal, private support for a fee.
Please email me to discuss rates and what your needs are. I look forward to working with you on your journey back to the land of the living! There is life and light after the narcissist, I promise!!
Talk to you soon.
Carrie

Ok, here’s how I feel about swearing. Did I miss something? I didn’t read yesterday, except one post I think. Anyway, do you know Natalie Lue? Baggage Reclaim? Um, she swears on her posts. I don’t see upheaval and moral self righteousness attached to her stuff, in fact, she’s more popular than ever.
If someone doesn’t like swearing and their ‘offended’ they can go elsewhere. Sometimes, we swear when we’re angry, especially when it comes to pathological behavior. I see NOTHING wrong with this AT ALL. I see too many writer’s being accused of being ‘narcs’ because they swear. I mean think about this: swearing so SO SUPERFICIAL. What is in the MESSAGE in that the swearing is included?
Swear away, honey. I’m listening. You’re a damned good writer. Oh, oops!

Kelli, no one complained but someone apologized for swearing and i thought I’d add some humor to the blog today, a lot of people have been having a tough time with their ex’s lately.
But thank you for the compliment!! I’ve been known to throw the F bomb around more than once and never had a complaint. Some times no other word would do.

LOLOL!! Thank goodness! I LOVE the F-bomb. I am also fond of the word “shit”…in reference to the N of course. There’s lots of words I like to use, but wasn’t sure if it would be offensive. I swear a lot when I’m alone. Nurses are notorious for swearing. Lol….. thanks Carrie and company!

LOL Connie ………………you should have seen MY face!!LOL I found it while searching to see if he had put the video’s he’d taken of us having sex (without my knowledge) on the internet. It was a very old pic of him but it sure looked like him but he had dark glasses on and a lot more hair LOL his profile sure sounded like him, we had just gotten back together and the area he was from fit. I kept it to myself for a few days and then I said to his sister who was living with us, “I found something on the internet I want to show you and I don’t know what to do”. I showed her and asked if she thought it was him and she said the same thing I was thinking, It could be. A light bulb went on I remembered seeing an old photo album of his in the bedroom so I went and got it to see if we could find an old pic of him. Well I opened it randomly and it opened on THAT picture. I screamed and slammed it shut. she had her hands up and her head turned away and she kept saying I don’t want to see it I don’t want to see it!!
Yet, you know, I still didn’t want to leave him I still missed him, still had sex with him. Bizarre.

I also say swear away! Interesting note on this that shows we’re not terribly imaginative swears. This aspect of our English language has actually been studied to count just how many swear words we commonly use…..we have just 26 actual swear words out of thousands of words floating out there! 26. Hmm… seems like we could surely come with more instead of using those same 26 over and over again in an endless loop. LOL. Okay, I enjoy little trivia like that. One of the best is the F bomb meaning: Fornicating Under Consent of King. Can you imagine having to get royal permission to do the deed? Swear on Ladies! Onward and Upward or up and down as the case may be!

I posted yesterday. Can’t remember cursing except for the “asshat” word, but then as a lady above said, “Nurses are notorious for cursing”, LMAO! That’s the truth. However, I see my post is gone, so I am wondering if you think I am a mole or I actually said something wrong. If I did, I apologize. BTW, because I didn’t get a confirmation letter on this account for a week, I set up another account, and now I think I have 2 accounts. I’m confused, and sick of everything in my life right now. Sorry…. 🙂

Kim, you didn’t say any thing wrong I am sure. All first time commenters go to be moderated, once a person has commented and been approved the first the rest of their posts will appear immediately. Unfortunately my ex was coming in under different aliases so I had to start moderating comments. But sometimes the spam filter will move a comment to the spam folder. I will go and have a peek.
