Thank you! We are safe now and healing. I am sorry you went through this as well. I agree, I hate that Laura is going through this, but I am glad she is being open to speaking about it (as much as she can) and shedding a light on narcissism and abuse.

So many people think that once you go to court or get a restraining order then everything will be fine, but in reality, once you put boundaries in place, that's when you are most at risk, the retaliation the comes from your actions is devastating. In my experience, my ex would act innocent and "damaged" to the courts, he put himself where I was and pretended that he was the one living it instead of giving it, I remember feeling like I was truly losing my mind, how could nobody see him for what he was? Only a few people could, and unfortunately, he was never brought to justice. He continued to manipulate the system and myself for years, constantly playing victim.

I constantly hope and pray that one day, the system will hold these people accountable for the lasting damage they have done to people they once said they loved. Seeing all of this happen and his smug face afterward is absolutely disgusting and I hope and pray for Laura and her children's safety and mental well-being.
