He made my life a living nightmare and I called it Love.
My Story
I got trapped in Switzerland, in a marriage I got into by an irrational and impulsive decision with a person who turned out to be an abusive narcissist. I lived in lies and depression. I was trying to find ways to get out of marriage, out of financial debts, and out of the country I did not fit in. I fell into a circle without a way out. I felt like my life wasn't worth living with hundreds of sleepless nights, crying and worrying about how to get out of everything, knowing I couldn't live like that anymore.
5 years later, I was able to pay off my debts which allowed me to leave my husband and plan my future. I escaped to London, completely broke and mentally broken. I started to work at a shop, but later, I got into a University, started my own business, and returned to my artistic self. I had to rebuild myself through therapy, mindfulness, and new goals to lose fear and become a new woman. I suffered from a lot of trauma and PTSD and when I was almost healed, there was a new obstacle. A relationship with my dad... I healed that too and closed doors to those toxic men. I realized, that I was just a vessel to a family pattern in which many women in my family fell into an abusive relationship. They never spoke about it but I feel it's my responsibility to shed light on it. For me, my family, and all the other people who said, 'No!', I won't allow this.
How did I heal? What did I do to change the circumstances?
I changed the environment
I started therapy
I educated myself about narcissism, manipulation, mental health
Self-development became my new degree
I joined communities with similar issues
I jumped into everything I was scared of
I created new positive habits
What's the one thing I learned?
If someone wants to marry you in a rush. Don't do it!
Where am I now?
Happily divorced and stronger than ever. He took everything away from me and 9 years later, I took it back. All the struggles made me even more powerful over time. I learned to always trust my intuition.
Now I'm giving a voice to others with heartbreaking but inspiring stories.
'He made my life a living nightmare and I called it Love.'
I made a book and I'm excited to share it with you.
My path to freedom, overcoming PTSD, dealing with toxic relationships, and a journey to self-love.
