If Mommy or Daddy have to separate

You Are Not Alone: A Love Letter to Moms and Dads Leaving the Storm

To the mom hiding her tears from her babies,
To the dad feeling like there’s no way out—

I see you. I know how heavy your heart feels right now. Some days, you wonder if you’re strong enough. You question how long you can endure. You’ve mastered the art of pretending—pretending for your family, your kids, your friends. You’ve become a pro at hiding bruises, both the ones on your body and the invisible ones that ache even more.

But here’s the truth: You are stronger than you know. You have survived every moment leading up to today, and that is no small victory. Even in the darkest moments, there is a small spark of light inside you—a whisper reminding you that you deserve safety, joy, and peace.

If you feel trapped, remember that there are people who will help you find your way out. Leaving might seem impossible, but you are capable of doing hard things. You are worthy of a life without fear. You are worthy of love that doesn’t hurt. Your children deserve to see you safe and free, and most importantly—they deserve to see you happy.

One step at a time. One breath at a time. Reach out, even if it feels scary. When you’re ready, there’s a whole world waiting to embrace you.

13 rules for exiting a invalidating relationship with narcissists/sociopaths/abusers.

1. Accept that some people have no conscience.
2. Always trust your first instinct.
3. Practice the 3 strikes/offenses and you are out game rules for social engagement.
4. Always question authority.
5. Suspect flattery. Flattery/love bomb appeals to the ego.
6. Only kind respectful people deserve respect. Distrust people who lead with fear/power/control.
7. No banter/arguing.
8. Avoid Avoid Avoid.
9. Question someone who begins a conversation with a sob story. Question the tendency to pity. Someone who has a history of hurting others but wants your pity is a victim; they will want to victimize others.
10. Severely challenge the need to be polite in all situations. Has this person lied to and or back stabbed you? They have broken social law and don't require your "common courtesy".
11. Don't try to save or redeem the unredeemable. The job of God is already taken.
12. Remember that most people are actually good.
13. Living well is the best revenge.

If this post resonates with you I want you to stay safe. Remember to do something nice for yourself today ✨❤️😘. All my love friends.
