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 build a life that feels lighter — and finally mine.

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 go — they discard, but they don’t detach. And I’m left here, still picking up the pieces.

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 into someone you’re not. Only in hindsight do the patterns become clear, the red flags unmistakable, and the lessons about yourself impossible to ignore. This is my reflection on recognising covert narcissism and reclaiming who I truly am.

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 leave without rewriting the story. Recognising that has helped me detach, set boundaries, and focus on my own peace

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 refine them—but always, writing helps me be honest with myself.

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 this chapter is nearly over. No more contact, no more excuses. Just done. Looking back, it still amazes me how quickly everything collapsed. One moment we were “fine,” the next I was being treated like the worst person she’d ever met. I’ll never fully understand it, except to say her behaviour was classic narcissism — gaslighting, projection, control, casting me…

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 challenges, but I’m determined not to let the past define me — instead, I’m using it to grow stronger.

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 time. Under its current leadership, it has become a centre-ground party, a watered-down version of the Conservatives, seemingly more concerned with appeasing hostile media outlets than representing the working class. Calling today’s Labour “the left” is an exercise in nostalgia, not accuracy.

A personal statement about truth, lived experience, and why speaking honestly about pain matters even when others would rather look away.

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 helped bring them up. I provided and nurtured. When the relationship broke down and she convinced me I was the problem, I let her stay in what was originally my home, because that was the right thing to do by the kids. I went and looked for somewhere else to live, I started again so she didn’t have too. All…
