The past year.
I just needed to get this out there for someone other then myself to see. It’s about a family member (ex grandmother) who moved us across the country for “a better life and a promise to gain her company to “help our future””... and boy was that a bad idea but here is the update after about a whole year of listening to her lies and following her narcissistic control.
I have two daughters. My toddler now is in counseling because of this girl (she doesn’t deserve to even be called a woman because she is far from it). The things my toddler witness was not ok by any means but we couldn’t leave... we had no where to turn to (or we thought we didn’t) she made us believe we had no where to go. She kicked us out and then watched another man she had living in her property about punch my fiancé as he was holding our toddler, and punch me (I was 35 weeks pregnant at the time). She watched this and still accused us of being in the wrong . But claims to “love” my daughter. She put her hand around my throat that same night and my toddler screamed and cried because she was so afraid... and yet we where in the wrong they weren’t... it is something my toddler still talks about and she is three... this happened 2 1/2 months ago... my toddler is afraid of “the monsters, grandma and papi”... they mentally hurt my child but will sit there and claim to “still love her”. So there’s a little back story but here is the update 2 1/2 -3 months later...
Looking at life now... I don’t ever want to go back. It’s so great right now. We finally for once in our lives are financially stable. We have a home, like a home home (it’s still hitting me that it’s really ours). We have two beautiful little girls who are generally overall happy and healthy. We are finally making more friends. We are finally getting our lives back but we aren’t just getting our lives back. We are getting our lives back that is even better then before. We are finally in control. We aren’t listening to others and what they are telling us to do. We aren’t letting them control our lives. We are in control and let me tell you what it feels amazing. The weight of the past year has finally been replaced with freedom. This past year has been rough and has taught us a lot. But oh man let me tell you what, it is absolutely great now. So to the ones who brought us out here. thank you for the lessons learned and the opportunity you offered but we will pass on it... FOR GOOD. 😊🤷🏼♀️ I’ll take what the Lord is offering us and take it with all it entitles because I know at the end of the day he won’t turn his back on me and my family like you did. 😊 #Narcissiticabuse #PTSD #physicalabuse #overcomings #brighterdaysahead
