A short book, that tells a story of a toxic family and friends, divorce isn't easy, and most people think of it between a man and woman. But you can divorce your family and friends, it's hard, but it can be done, divorcing a toxic family it's not only smart but healthy, who wants to be the pawn in a narcissistic mother and sisters' game, or a brother or fake friends, that were never really friends in the first place. Better yet in laws, in laws that were toxic from beginning, and slowly showed their true colors. backstabbers, phony condolences, pretending to be concerned. People that make everything about them, and make you the scapegoat, the poison pen writers, and the bloggers that put themselves first above family, in situations that they bring on themselves, they never listen to you, but they will listen to fake advice, family that puts others on pedestals that don't deserve it. A mother so toxic and abusive, you couldn't wait to leave home, then you get the blame for not being there. All these examples of why you can divorce your kids, family friends, and in-laws.
There are a lot of things you don't really think about until they happen to you. Take rape, for instance. I always thought, "That won't happen to me. I have a boyfriend. I trust him. He would never take advantage of me like that..." I couldn't have been more wrong.
Love in this day and age is often confused for manipulation and abuse. The warning signs are here. The things we say will tell us everything that is wrong. You are worth more than what you think you are. It's not your fault. If they tell you otherwise, get out. Burn the bridge.
Always remember someone is waiting for you to walk into their life. Someone needs you. Someone loves you.
Getting away from all of the wrong people and finding the right ones could save you.
I can promise you right now that it saved me.
These are the journal entries and selected poems from my first experience of love that left a unpleasant taste in my mouth- quite literally. I am putting this out for the whole world to see because I hope everyone will learn from my experience. People can see.
We have no excuses to continue living our lives in ignorance.
