Hello and welcome to my blog. I want to share my experience in loving a narcissistic abuser, an addict, and later paranoid schizophrenic, hereinafter referred to as Mr. X. My hopes and goals for Surviving Mr. X are to offer an avenue of support to those who might have gone through, or are currently going through a similar experience in their life.
Talking about abuse is not easy in any scenario. For me it took time after the end of my relationship to even recognize the abuse I had undergone. Even now, two years out, I'm just coming to terms with the fact that I'm traumatized. The abuse I endured was never physical in nature but instead was narcissistic (verbal, mental, emotional, psychological) and financial. A big part of me wishes that it had been physical so I would have recognized the abuse for what it was and left the relationship much earlier. Wishing things were different will never change the past, but perhaps offering an avenue of support will not only help others in need but also aid in my own healing and growth.
I will be documenting my experience in a general chronological order, starting with a glimpse into my childhood. This will give you an understanding of my background and life prior to Mr. X. I hope you will follow along as I embark on this journey of reflection and healing.
Please consider donating to my GoFundMe campaign titled 'Help Holly Recover from Abuse.' If you're unable to donate, sharing the link below with your network would be greatly appreciated. I hope to raise funds to pay down the $100k+ debt left to me by Mr. X to alleviate some of my financial stress so I can focus on processing and healing from the trauma. I have always been fiercely independent and struggle to ask for help but I am overwhelmed and exhausted. I truly need help with this financial burden.
