Healing is not linear.

I can not tell you the lengths I had to go thru to reach this moment-new years eve to be able to share about finally exiting from the npd cycle of abuse before the clock strikes 12 as we enter a new year. Full of promise, hope, change etc. Add on-it's a new year, right? Love, peace. happiness, health, security on and on it goes.
Nevertheless,  I made  it. I obtained the goal to be able to set up a new blog and begin posting since  taking that first step on loose gravel in my childhood to finding steady ground after learning I was  born into the npd cycle of abuse, as I exited the devaluation cycle during a reverse discard when I dismissed a red flag in the love bomb  stage with a narcopath.
There had been several red flags mixed in with the love bombing. The issue is my discernment was overrun by  the love bomb. That was the last time I would lose my footing on unstable ground and fall. The days and months that followed left me and my dogs at risk on a daily basis until I had enough resources in place to leave.
February 10,2026-will be two years  since I broke the cycle I was trapped in most of my life. That's another blog post I will post about another time.
