Hey ladies/men**, I left my abusive narcissist about a year ago and I've been working on my healing process but still struggle with a couple things. I'm wondering, how did you all get over the mental block of dating someone new? I've talked to other people & dated a bit, but it's hard for me to differentiate seeing a red flag vs someone having typical flaws or just making harmless mistakes. I never know if i'm overthinking something or not nowadays. Any advice? I know patterns are obvious signs, but i'm nervous to wait around again & see if it will be a pattern at the same time. that's how I got caught in the cycle

When someone comes out of the gate and identifies with being miss treated that is a huge red flag. They are most likely trying to get their foot in the door by playing on your emotions. We should all feel safe in our connections to be able to share our truths and our experience, but we should never use those experiences to play on one's emotions. I would never dream of ever telling anyone about my misfortunes in life as I am getting to know them because I don't want the foundation of that connection based on misfortune. Plus, I own all my experiences even the uncomfortable ones and I see them as lessons and part of my growth after all I was a willing participant in most if not all the things I encountered in my life. I have never been a victim because I've always been the student and I'm here to learn. I do agree though at some point we a very deep bond is formed that everyone should feel safe expressing their discomfort and struggles with their most intimate connections whomever that may be.

I have a confession to be made. Should I end my toxic relationship? As I am in a toxic relationship with my husband currently. We used be a ideal couple who cared and loved eachother, however my Husband is not the same person I used to know. He has totally changed over the time, he became more possessive and controlling. He always want to where I was with and what I am doing. He became more toxic over the years, accusing me of cheating him even if I was talking with male friends. he would go through my phone and social media account. So I am confused and lost in my life I dont know what to do with my toxic relationship with my husband.

I used to believe that domestic violence only happened to womens and girls before. Not until i have met few guys who have also experineced it. I have cried with them while hearing their stories. The inhumane treatment that they have faced. I think that most of the people should also be aware of the fact that male can also be one of the victims.

Would also like to thank the students of kanglung primary school. Domestic violence affects people of all genders and backgrounds, and we need to come together to end this cycle of abuse.

In this article, we're using the inspirational experiences of abuse survivors to inspire others who are currently experiencing abuse. Although their experiences are tragically not exceptional.
