@hope.and.joy.unhi: Expect manipulation, love bombing, guilt trips, and prepare for the trauma bond.” Manipulation? I’ve been living with that shit for years. Love bombing? Guilt trips? Nothing new. But the trauma bond? There is no preparing for that monster. You can read every book. Watch every video. Join every support group. And it will still hit differently when it’s your trauma bond. The list also says: “Make a healing plan.” My brain wasn’t capable of making a grocery list, much less a healing plan. I wasn’t healing. I was surviving. And that’s where I agree with Number 50: Survival is not failure. But don’t worry if it takes a long damn time before you actually believe it.#fyp #narcissist #healing #sahm #viral @vada hope
