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.

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

Have you read that book ‘Why Does He Do That?’ by Lundy Bancroft.
It helped me decode my Narcissist’s emotional abuse.
I Highly recommend it. The author worked with men who were physically and or emotionally abusive for years and I was surprised to see every tactic my Narcissist used to control, and disrespect me in the book, and learned that it was his value system, which is pretty much condoned by the media, which allowed him feel it was ok to do what he was doing in order to get control and avoid responsibility.
The last quote reminded me of my N. Because he wanted me t be jealous of other women AND have other women be jealous of me. Essentially, he likes to play women off of each other. Which was also in the book. I highly encourage EVERY WOMAN to check this book out.

There are moments when you realize you may have hurt another, not from intent but because the things in life that you both desired seemed to take separate paths. Or that the love you thought you felt was not fully the love it should of been. Or you had unrealistic expectations of yourself or of the other person. It does not make you a bad person. It simply makes you a flawed human. And I for one am flawed.

Lonelyheart,
I used to say to my ex all the time. There is no crime in falling out of love with someone. If you don’t love me any more I will go away, I don’t want to be with someone who doesn’t want to be with me. The crime is when you know a person loves you and you don’t love that person yet you don’t leave, you stay and blame the other person, tell them that you love them but they have to change this or that and it is never good enough. THEN you are wrong. I have broken a few hearts in my day, you fall out of love or the other person loves you more than you love them, shit happens and it hurts but the person moves on. With a narcissist they systematically destroy the person they say they love, they use emotional, mental, physical and financial abuse to literally destroy a person. That is not simply “falling out of love”.
