Showing results for "how to walk away" in Relationships, Parenting & Personal Development

What do you do when you start to feel a shift and must decide if it’s time to make a change? When it comes to navigating big decisions about when to stay and go, how can we know for sure when the time is right? Though we enter and exit many rooms over the course of our life—jobs, relationships, communities, life stages—knowing how and when it’s time to leave is a decision that rarely has a clear answer.

I am happy to say that I am no longer a victim, but a true survivor of narcissistic and emotional abuse. Let me start by saying that walking away from my toxic 30-year relationship with my now ex-husband was one of the hardest things I had to do. The result of walking away turned out to be the best thing I've ever done. I wish there had been a book like this that told me how to recognize narcissists and emotional abusers back when I met my ex-husband 30 years ago. What I know now about toxic people and emotional abuse may have saved my life.
