Survival Tactics and Thoughts on the World
Welcome to my blog. If you would like to subscribe, please do so at the bottom of the page. You can either scroll down or click the link at the top right. I'll be primarily writing about my experience in identifying and healing from narcissistic abuse and the web of correlated issues that come with it. It's a lot. Psychological abuse is everywhere and yet most people have no idea what it looks like. I want to change that by exposing what it looked like for me. There will also be some really bad film criticism and political takes. My apologies in advance for those. Unfortunately, politics has become inseparable from my experience. We will all need to heal in the coming years from what's been done to us. I hope to provide some illumination. It's been a while since I've written so my posts are more like rough drafts. I tinker with them a lot. You can follow me on Twitter @ChrisVL.
