It happens when we witness events, situations or experience challenges that go against our values, ethics, morals, when we have to act against what we know is “right” or we have to follow a policy that is not morally in the best interests of the individuals we are helping. Moral injury also happens when we are forced to abide by policy, regulations or the “red tape” because of management despite what is inherently best or ethically right.

Did you know that if you were exposed to some form of narcissistic abuse growing up, either a narcissistic parent or a narcissistic sibling, that this may place you at a higher risk for getting into a romantic relationship with a narcissist? 

 If you have ever had to grow up in any sort of narcissistic environment, this often leaves deep wounds and permanent scars and can shape your relationships that you have in the future.

How does this work? Because growing up in a  narcissistic environment usually is the pre curser to struggles with low self esteem, low self worth which is the primer and sets the stage for often accepting the bare minimum and for being an easy target for the romantic narcissist. Because the romantic narcissist is able to see that deep inner wound from when you were a child, and somehow has that e-ray vision and can see right through you, & this then sets their stage for their playbook.

Moving into the summer solstice means letting go of all the things that no longer serve us and letting go of all the things that we had to struggle, endure, battle and overcome and have held so much weight.

I never knew any of these things were characteristics of love bombing or were the red flags that I was too quick to ignore. In the beginning, I felt like I was on cloud nine. I finally felt like I had met the man of my dreams and that all the hardships and past difficult relationships were finally worth it. Now, with perspective, I have the insight that these tactics and strategies were moves that he had calculated right from the very beginning.

Trying to navigate seeking justice against narcissistic abuse is challenging and can be draining, but know that you are not alone in the pursuit of justice. This can be challenging in that there are numerous obstacles and barriers and can be extremely oppressive to survivors, but it can also be rewarding in the sense that you are speaking your voice and your voice matters! Your story MATTERS!
