Sadly, this happens.
Discernment is key.

Do NOT stay silent.

Inspiration right there!
Keep speaking up.
Not just for you but for our Next Generation.

In 1860, Elizabeth Packard had been married for 21 years and was raising six children when her husband did something unthinkable: he had her committed to an asylum.
Not because she was violent. Not because she was unstable. But because she dared to think differently. She questioned his strict Calvinist beliefs, and in Illinois at the time, a husband could institutionalize his wife without trial, proof, or consent.
Inside the asylum, Elizabeth quickly discovered the truth: many women there weren’t “mad” at all. They were wives who resisted, daughters who disobeyed, women who refused to be silent. Instead of breaking, Elizabeth wrote, observed, and waited.
After three years, she stood in court, defended her right to her own thoughts, and won her freedom. But she didn’t stop there. She wrote books exposing wrongful confinement, lobbied lawmakers, and pushed through reforms that made it harder for women to be silenced under the label of insanity.
Elizabeth Packard chose truth over silence. Her fight cost her nearly everything — but gave countless women the protection she was denied.

Sad but this happens. 🥺
More often than we think. 😢

If you notice red flags popping up, find someone who has lived experience with Narcissistic behaviours and find a way to slide out of the life you thought you were creating as carefully and strategically as possible.

Lived experience: “As soon as I found out I was being abused psychologically and financially after my psychologist taught me what NPD was and showed me what to look out for, I was in denial for a while and then one day I just dropped it. I said I was leaving without thinking how the bomb would blow up in my face.
If I were to do it all over again, I would do it differently and with better support systems to help me from being sucked into the family court system for over 6 years, pouring over $200,000 down the drain.

I would have done things very differently. Please don’t let it happen to you too. Find the right supports and advice before leaving and keep those supports until you’re completely cut off and healing.

It’s your season now!”

The news today got me thinking… If you knew you would die by the end of the month, what would you do, say or be before then?
