Understanding My Painful Past
My life has been excruciating since the day I was born. I was born with a disability, and my mother was a bipolar narcissist. She was cruel to me. She called me names and told me I wasn’t good enough. I felt unloved and unwanted. Growing up, I battled depression, thinking something was wrong with me.
At the age of five, I faced a traumatic experience that I didn’t understand at the time. I had to get braces for my legs and wear them to school. The other kids called me stupid and a retard. On top of that, I had epilepsy and was experiencing seizures. I missed a lot of school because of them. My head hurt so badly, and I didn’t know what seizures were or if they would kill me. The doctors spoke to my parents, but no one talked to me. I felt scared and alone, unsure of what was happening. They tried different medications to help with the seizures. Eventually, the doctors had to put me on the strongest medication available for a child. My headaches were worse than any migraine you could imagine.
A Turning Point: My Alter Ego
Then, one positive thing happened. My alter ego stepped up and said, "I will be here for you. I will help you stand up for yourself and be strong." When I was weak, she was strong. Together, we would get through this! Over the years, I relied on her to help me be brave, courageous, and strong. We slayed dragons together. This inner strength worked for me time after time when life threw hard challenges my way!
The Illusion of Love
I thought I had finally met the man of my dreams. At first, he was funny, kind, and caring. He bought me flowers and made me feel special. I felt like he was my soulmate! But after we were married for a year, everything changed. He flipped the switch. He became unloving and always caused drama. He sought attention when I wasn’t with him. He would create fights, accuse me of cheating, and degrade me. Nothing I did was ever good enough.
I felt like a third-world-country wife. I was just a slave to him. I worked full-time, did all the cooking and cleaning, and anytime I asked for help, it was a BIG NO. He gaslighted, manipulated, and controlled every moment of my day. If I was too tired to help him, I was selfish. He didn’t care that he was slowly killing me—physically, mentally, and emotionally. He drained the life out of me, and all I wanted was out. I thought about killing myself or him. But I decided to LEAVE instead.
The Best Decision of My Life
Leaving was the best decision of my life. I moved in with my daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter. My life felt shattered. I wasn’t sure I would survive all the abuse, trauma, and pain he caused me. But I did! Before I left, I went into therapy. My therapist helped me see what was going on. I started doing my own research and discovered that he was a bipolar narcissist, just like my mother. The lies and gaslighting were extreme. He would deny his own lies and never took accountability for his actions.
