Toxic

I was in a 6-year on-and-off relationship with a narc man. I got hooked but he had a reckless lifestyle, heavy drinking, drugs, abusive/narc traits, never processed his dad’s suicide, and several failed relationships (incl. a court case with an ex gf). I knew something was off but I ignored it. I was loyal, never liked his behaviour, but kept compromising, hoping he’d change. But I never felt like he really loved me.

He was "nice" but he also lied, cheated, kicked me out several times, threatened, humiliated me, forced sex while intoxicated a few times, never appreciated me or my help. We'd always argue. I swept things under the rug until the night he strangled me. He was arrested. And I left him.

He smeared me, played the victim, afterwards. Typical. He's been hunting on SM for a few months, and now he’s on a swingers site chasing supplies. I was in a trauma bond, blind. Then I saw things clearly, but I still feel shaken sometimes. How do I finally detach emotionally from all this?

I called the Crisis Hotline and was told, "I understand that you are having suicidal ideation and that they are bad but everyone is going through things and you need to be greatful because things could be worse as someone else has it." I discontinue the call because my situation was never understood or address.

hey everyone..its been awhile since ive been on the mighty.. I've been going through some very painful events in my life..i mean im really going through it..but im making it..i recently decided to finally leave a 20 year toxic relationship who i thought i loved that i used with..its been hard..

today i am one month and exactly one day clean from cocaine..thanks to my doc putting me on topamax..never thought that med would be so helpful for cocaine dependency but its been a miracle and im loosing weight also..i am starting to love myself more and more each day and taking my time w everything that i do..

i enjoy work now..enjoy life in general..no my life is not perfect but its better!!! it has gotten so much better..i dont have to worry about other females that he has had in his life..dont have to worry about him at all..

its such a relief..im healing in my own little way and it may have taken me to isolate and push people away for me to heal but thats just me..i didn't wanna put my problems onto others and feel like a burden or get judged..i also bought me my own little kitten..a 2 month old black and fluffy female kitten..named her passion bc i was so passionate about getting her..

and she has helped me so much..i have only had her for a week but feel like thats all i need..shes so precious and im stress free..oh its been hell this past month going through cocaine withdrawals but the meds my docs got me on cut out the cravings and now when i microdose i release the held in pain..

Value friends. Sisters are toxic especially when you're the middle human and they've been placed on a pedal store our whole life.

I went cold on a neighbor that moved away last October.. She was unbelievable and so toxic. Everyday she would show up at my house and I felt bad and let her in. Her children, grown, hate her and her husband had moved out of the bedroom almost a decade ago. She is a toxic lier! Telling her entire family she has MS and for 10 years she had everyone fooled she saw a doctor and was medicated. An emergency revealed she lied. The lies were enormous! So I felt bad for her because her husband filed for divorce, but he did catch her cheating when she got caught having sex with her married boss and they both got fired!
Here's my problem, number one, I'm a scapegoat, 2 I'm an empath and my heart is huge but I know I should not be talking with her at all and she just called after a year! She's almost homeless! And I know id never let her move in here but she needs my help. I did her divorce for her in 2022! And neglected myself!! I know I shouldn't answer the phone if she calls again!!! I know my new therapist would be very upset I decided to take 2 calls from her after a year! I'm mad at myself!! Do I answer again and explain again I need to take care of me, my husband and home or do I never answer again? I'm the daughter of a narcissistic mother and the scapegoat of the family. So you know where my heart is always at!! Thanks guys for your help!!! #Toxic #CPTSD #Anxiety #mood disorder #scapegoat #Childhood abuse #Bipolor #Daughter of a narcissistic mother

My mom calling my dad an Effing Coward, them calling each other names my mom especially putting him now, sister and mom fighting, me and my mom lately not getting along either or avoiding each other. It’s a little hard.

Gave it my all, but took a mighty fall,
Love's grip so tight, it claimed my soul's thrall.
Now my mind seeks solace for the void within,
Aching heart, searching for ways to begin.

Emptiness and darkness, pain's ceaseless rain,
A struggle to comprehend, accommodate, restrain.
Who knew a friendship could be so toxic and bleak,
Leaving my body anoxic, longing to seek

Survival, I found, by grace of the divine,
Hustling for a life where my spirit can finally shine.
No more hurt, no more tears to spill,
I won't neglect those who uplift and instill

Belief in me, true friends who stay,
Unyielding in love, even when skies turn gray.
Those who stand strong through life's hardest test,
They are the ones who deserve my best.

Pushing away those who truly care,
Leaves one gasping for air, lost and unaware.
I've been through it, and now it's your turn,
May you learn from mistakes and the bridges you burn.

But through it all, I'll still be there,
With abundant love and genuine care to share.
I know the pain of abandonment's sting,
But fear not, my support is no fleeting fling.

My heart is pure, my intentions sincere,
No prey to lure, no hidden agenda to adhere.
For humanity's sake, my mission's aim,
Fiery ambition runs deep in my veins.

Forgiveness and love, I choose to embrace,
No room for hatred, no enemy to chase.
So here's to the next chapter, the story's sequel,
Counting blessings, ensuring your path sees the sun's golden sheen.

No foes shall I keep, for all are equal,
Cheers to a life where compassion is fecal.
With open arms, I welcome what's in store,
A new journey awaits, and my heart's ready to explore.
