Kirsten, and I met six months ago writing on Quora. I was on the tail end of breaking trauma bond to what I believe was some form of Cluster B abuse, and Kirsten was still in the midst of battling hers.

Our first interaction took place a little over a year ago when she commented on one of my Quora answers. Then shortly after my YouTube Channel. She was doing just as I had three years ago. appearing and disappearing on Quora.

Her writings were raw and in your face, just as I write. I times I’d have to check and make sure it wasn’t me who had wrote it!

I would write, vent, and start to feel better only to get sucked back into the vicious cycle of what I believed to have been Narcissists abuse. It took me a total of six years to clearly break free, and I am still healing. Not from my ex’s abuse, but from what I learned about myself in the relationship.

If you heal correctly from one of these relationships you will find more out about yourself than you care to know. And you will adopt a new level of accountability that you didn’t knew existed, at least for me that’s the case. I have learned a lot about myself…
