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

Yesterday at the gym one of the TVs was showing the news where they were talking about this ad. From the treadmill, I watched a guy stop on his way to the change room, look up at the picture of the woman, pause, sort of nod and then keep walking. I thought, ‘well there you go, at least it’s getting people’s attention.’ Kudos to Salvation Army for moving so quickly wtih this one.

I never bought into the brew-haha about that stupid dress. I do, however, fully support the Salvation Army’s very wise use of an ad campaign. This is one that may actually save a lot of lives out there, love it.
