@darrengingrascommonsense: We love to believe we’re “good people” because we’re kind to strangers. But the real test of character isn’t how you treat the barista or the delivery driver. It’s how you speak to the people who live with the real you. Strangers don’t carry your history. Strangers don’t activate your wounds. Strangers don’t mirror the parts of you you still haven’t dealt with. Your spouse does. Your kids do. Your home does. If you can only be gentle when it costs you nothing, that’s not kindness. That’s image management. Kindness in public builds a persona. Kindness at home builds a marriage. Marriages don’t fall apart from one big explosion. They erode from the daily absence of basic decency. Tone. Patience. Tenderness. Respect. Being kind everywhere except home isn’t kindness. It’s performance. And the people closest to you feel the difference.   #MarriageTruth #MarriageAdvice #RelationshipWisdom #RealCharacter #AttachmentAwareness

😢😢😢🙏🏼✨️Thank you for summarizing eleven years of pleading, arguing, and defending my love and boundaries, needs I repeatedly begged him to meet and he willfully ignored. Instead, he denied or blamed me for every emotional, psychological, physical, and soul-deep wound he intentionally inflicted, fueled by his self-hatred and his obsession with controlling his image and curating the life, wife, and narrative he wanted others to accept as truth. The five protection orders, multiple arrests and violations, and his being legally established as the aggressor in our divorce are not fake, they are facts. They exist and help to explain, to others and even to myself, why recovery from domestic violence is neither quick nor simple. Believe survivors. By the time they finally speak up, they have already lost immeasurably (and their children as well), having only then fully recognized the gravity and lasting impact of the harm inflicted... 😢🙏🏼🙌🏼✨️

This is for all of the narcissistic parents we had to heal from! My Nana used to say, " House Devil, Street Angel"💔

💯 There is a heavy hitting reminder here. Before we can "love our neighbor" (random stranger) we must actually love our family, friends, and co-workers first. Otherwise, it's just largely performance.

Thank you for this. All this time, the ex made me feel crazy when he thought I insinuated his actions were ‘performative.’ Yet this is the man who was kind to other women, and was less patient when it came to me
