I Was the Strong One Until It Broke Me
For as long as I can remember, people have seen me as “the strong one.” The dependable friend. The sibling who always listens. The co-worker who steps up when things fall apart.

The Last Broadcast

Going No Contact: Why I 'Divorced' My Narcissistic Mother
I Finally Divorced My Mother This was not an act of anger. It was the final, radical act of my own preservation. To "divorce" your mother is a jarring concept.
