I been trained to be a doormat all my life. I walked away last month on both my narcissists dad and brother for good. I just got exhausted from either being judged, not being supported when I needed help and sacrificing myself to be there for them. I have felt for the past 7 years my dad has used his Parkinson's to get away from mistreating me. I gived up 4 separate weeks of family time to sort 2 decades of hoarding in my dad old flat as he had to be moved to new place after falling on his hoarding in old place. My brother told me to pull my wait as my dad ended up in hospital again and he told me was going to cut me off if I kept going on about his hoarding. I am glad I walked away. Still feeling rough about it.

For me it was when I swallowed my truth to keep the peace. I had no idea that would lead to a very slippery slope of self-abandonment. Never again.💞

For me, I was around 5 years old and it persisted through most of my life. I'm now 63 and have been diagnosed with CPTSD and an autoimmune disease. I have completely isolated myself. Other than going to work, I just stay inside of my home and watch the same movies over and over and do my handcrafting. It is the first time in my life that I have had any real peace. I'm just so tired and just trying to get through this life the best I can.

Let me ask you something…
When did you stop trusting yourself?
— The first time someone made you feel like your needs didn’t matter?
— The first time you swallowed your truth to keep the
peace?
— The first time you felt guilty for putting yourself first?
You were trained to shrink yourself.
To over-explain.
To prioritize everyone else’s comfort over your own.
And it’s costing you your peace, your energy, and your power.
That stops now.
I’m hosting a 6-week live program to show you how to break free from the patterns of self-abandonment and reclaim your confidence.
Boundary Brilliance Live is starting soon. Are you ready to choose yourself?
