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

Bwhahaha. Oh my, his note is rich! As I read his reply I thought, “Well, at least he’s not some scamming scammer asking you to send him a Western Union money gram. And bless you, Carrie, your reply rocked. l especially loved the bit about you bringing your two protective dogs along with you. BTW, I’ve recently heard people refer to that dating site as OKStupid, which I also find quite funny. I have to think that the next guy who gets any chance of getting to know me is gonna have to bring a stack of reference letters, a verified background check, a clean bill of health and be fully approved by three very good friends before I would go out with him.

O. Me too, I told a friend that I want 3 character references, fingerprints, a criminal record check, blood test, and his financial statement and I want to talk to his exs. If he stick around for all that I might date him. Oh yeah he has to love my dog but not have any of his own. and be taller than 5’10” and any kids have to be grown and not living with him. But i am not picky.

Good list. Think I will also add your criteria of ‘must love my dogs but not have any of his own, taller than 5’10” and any kids have to be grown and not living with him’ to my own list. And I’m not feeling that I’m being picky either, just being practical & well-grounded in the understanding of what will work for me now that I’ve gone thru what I’ve gone thru with my ex.
