LoyalToMe

“I’ve never been the kind of woman who gives up easily on people I love. Which is why I spent almost 5 very long years trying to get my ‘family’ to see that the way we process our trauma is toxic. It was always my intention for us to heal after having this uncomfortable conversation because I never wanted to know what life was like without them. But narcissists can’t be negotiated with. You either bend to their will or suffer the consequences of choosing not to. Learning to live without them took a minute for me to do because loyalty is coded in my DNA. Learning how to be loyal to myself, first, was the lesson though. So now I approach life with the understanding that it doesn’t matter who you are…if my peace is disturbed by your presence…ion want it.”
