Hello Yaffa: Your words moved me. I am very sad that you have endured these difficult experiences. It sounds like we are talking about the same "man" (tall, quiet, religious, fake intelligence, immediately grooming the next victim). Yes, he devastated me and his children.

You do know me. It is because we share a bond. We are part of a strong sorority and community of women and men who are willing to support each other and stand for what is right.

I am happy that you escaped and are learning and investing in and caring for yourself. I understand the compulsion to learn and study.

May I share with you my favorite resources? Shahida Arabi book: "Becoming the Narcissist’s Nightmare; Dr. Ramani - youtube videos (she is so good for so many reasons); Shannon Thomas - one of her books is Healing From Hidden Abuse.

You read "Letter To GF" also. Your words are strong and encouraging!

I can see your strength. It is amazing to be able to connect and share experiences with you and others like us.

Thank you for reading, connecting and sharing.
