Loving a Narcissist
So how do I tell a story about the authentic me, if I’ve only just gained the knowledge of who she is? Aah. Where do I even begin? Do I begin with my childhood? Do I begin by explaining how I was severely emotionally neglected by my mother as a child? Should I mention my absent father? Do I start with my first long term relationship with the father of my 19-year-old daughter? An overt narcissist. Or do I begin at my very recent divorce (after 9 years) to a covert narcissist? I suppose I’ll begin with telling a bit about myself.

I HATE IT HEEEEERE!!
1:04 PM MONDAY AFTERNOON “The price on the tag says $3.99! I have eyes and can read very well!” That is what a rude customer just said to me. “Ma’am, you’re reading the wrong tag. I promise you that $4.99 is the correct price. Maybe the item was in the wrong spot.” That is me responding to the rude customer in my very best customer service voice, all the while seething inside. A day in the life of Layla Robinson, age 20. Nothing but irritations, frustrations and disappointments. But at least it’s time for my break (actually 4 minutes past my allotted time) and I can call the manager away from his TV show to come cover me. Off to the “break room”. My life.

Losing Your Husband to the Prison System
I wanted to tell my story for any who have ever wondered about the reality of a family who had a husband and father who is then suddenly stripped away to the prison system. It's such a taboo topic. I am here to shed light on it. That picture is a collage I made of me after a visit when he was in county jail on the top, him in a federal facility after he left county jail, and us together on a vacation a year before he was arrested.
