Month: August 2025

  • Boundaries aren’t just about keeping others out. They’re about giving myself permission to heal, focus on what matters, and surround myself with people who respect me.

    Taking Back My Space
  • Healing isn’t a straight line. Some days I function, but only in body. Some days the thoughts creep back in. This is an honest account of the last three days—acknowledging the struggle, owning what’s mine, and refusing to carry someone…

    When Healing Feels Like Floating: Owning My Struggles, Not Theirs
  • Healing after a breakup isn’t about pointing fingers. It’s about honesty—looking inward at your own flaws, while recognising the patterns you can’t change in others. Only when you accept both can you truly grow and avoid repeating the same mistakes.

    Honesty in Healing After a Breakup
  • Healing isn’t a straight line. Some days still spiral, but with each one, the sting softens a little. Today reminded me that even when I slip, I can step back, reset, and keep moving forward.

    When Healing Feels Like a Spiral
  • A reflection on divorce delays, manipulation, and reclaiming peace by refusing to stay trapped in someone else’s need for control.

    The Illusion of Control
  • When a narcissist calls you a narcissist, it’s projection—an attempt to rewrite history and keep you trapped in their narrative. The urge to defend yourself is strong, but the truth is they don’t care, and nothing you say will ever…

    The Power of Silence: Breaking Free from a Narcissist’s Grip
  • Some days I can laugh at the narrative being spread about me, other days it stings. But with resilience, distance, and a focus on my own growth, I’m finding freedom. Work wins, good friends, and real laughter are helping me…

    From Grief to Relief: Finding Strength, Peace, and a Sense of Normality
  • She claims she’s over me. She says she’s “upgraded.” Yet she still reads my blog, still references me, still rewrites the story. If she were truly secure in her choices, she wouldn’t need to. The reality? Narcissists never fully let…

    Why Narcissists Never Fully Let Go
  • In the early stages of a breakup, it’s easy to focus only on the love, the laughs, and the memories you’re losing. What you don’t see is the bad—the manipulation, the confusion, the ways a partner can subtly turn you…

    Covert Narcissism in Hindsight: What I Learned
  • Sometimes, it takes hearing your own words through someone else’s struggle to finally see things clearly. A conversation with a colleague reminded me that breakups don’t always have to be toxic — but when a narcissist is involved, they rarely…

    Seeing Myself Through Someone Else’s Story
  • Writing is my therapy—a way to untangle the chaos in my head. It lets me process emotions, make sense of my thoughts, and find clarity when life feels overwhelming. Sometimes the words pour out raw and messy, other times I…

    What Do I Enjoy Most About Writing?
  • I got some great news yesterday — it seems my ex has finally put the wheels in motion for the divorce, and the caravan has now been listed. Honestly, I can’t put into words how good it feels to know…

    The Divorce is in Motion
  • The past few weeks have been a turning point. I’m calmer, happier, and starting to feel like myself again. I’ve been reconnecting with people, building stronger bonds with my daughter, and even pushing forward at work. Life still has its…

    Progress
  • When Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana announced they were forming a new political party, the predictable response from political commentators was to warn of “splitting the left vote.” But here’s the thing — Labour hasn’t been left-wing for a long…

    A New Force on the Left: Why Corbyn & Sultana’s Movement Could Change the Political Landscape
  • A personal statement about truth, lived experience, and why speaking honestly about pain matters even when others would rather look away.

    The Thing About the Truth
  • Despite what stories she wants to tell people to justify what she did. I’m a good fucking person. I’m not the monster she wants to frame me as. I took her on with a newborn child and a toddler. I…

    I’m Not the Monster in Her Story
  • There’s a funny thing that happens when you tell your side of a story — especially when it doesn’t paint someone in the best light. People who once claimed to stand for truth, fairness, or loyalty suddenly become very selective…

    When Truth Makes People Uncomfortable
  • Looks like one of my posts struck a nerve — someone’s been using bots or automated tools to review bomb my blog with 1-star ratings.

  • I’m at a point now where I both love her and hate her. And the part of me that still loves her? I fucking hate that too. Because yeah, she had good qualities. She was amazing at planning things —…

    I Still Love Her. And I Fucking Hate Her Too.
