You can thrive beyond a toxic relationship

I’ve lived and survived a toxic relationship. I remember comments like -“If I’m such a nasty person, you should be grateful I never beat you”, “Why do you think I always get you so drunk when we go out, alcohol is a truth serum” — these off the cuff comments hurt and overtime built up until they became part of my truth and reality.

When we hear these kinds of words come from those you are meant to love us without condition you start to believe them. They start to eat you up from the inside out, until they become toxic.

The “conditioning” you receive from a toxic person is a slow drip to chip away any confidence or self esteem you had. With each comment they belittle, berate, shame and gaslight you into believing you are not going to survive life without them. But I’m here to remind you that not only can you survive without them but thrive in ways that maybe you never imagined before.

I know from my own experience we can become a dumping ground for their projection of misery, which can swallow you up. This doesn’t have to be true for you, you don’t need to adjust your own truths and beliefs to theirs, you are allowed to stand tall and hold your personal power.

A toxic person will still try and convince you that you are worthless and useless, despite everything in your life indicating otherwise………….

CUT ALL CONTACT.

DO NOT allow their scare tactics to drag you back into their pit of misery.

Remember this, a TOXIC person’s accusations are ACTUALLY their CONFESSIONS!!!!!!!!!

Tap into your heart, feel the power that is beating within you and ask for guidance and help. I know the work can feel hard, but I also know that you can do it.

I’ve done the work to break through the heartache and restore my soul. I will continue to work on myself, as I know it benefits me and those around me. I hope that this gives you the strength to move forward and create your path towards love and joy. You can thrive beyond a toxic relationship
