When Love Becomes Control: The Mental Health Toll of a Manipulative Partner

Image
When Love Becomes Control: The Mental Health Toll of a Manipulative Partner We all want love that feels safe, love that nurtures, respects, and uplifts. But what happens when love starts to feel like a trap? When words meant to comfort slowly confuse, and affection becomes a tool for control? Many people find themselves in relationships where manipulation is disguised as love. It can be subtle at first—so subtle you might even question if it’s real. But over time, this emotional manipulation can deeply damage your mental health and sense of self. What Is a Manipulative Partner? A manipulative partner isn’t always loud or aggressive. They might be charming in public, attentive in small ways, or even act like a victim to guilt you into staying. But their patterns tell the truth: They twist your words. They make you feel like you’re always wrong. They isolate you from people who care. They gaslight you, denying things they clearly did. They use love as a reward system: ...

How Journaling Helped Me Heal

How Journaling Helped Me Heal: From Chaos to Clarity There was a time in my life when my mind felt like a storm I couldn’t escape. I was in therapy, trying to understand myself, trying to breathe through the weight of emotions I didn’t yet have the tools to manage. That’s when I started journaling—not because I knew what I was doing, but because I needed somewhere to put all the noise. At first, I wrote down everything. Every negative thought, every fear, every spiral that pulled me under. My journal became the place where I could be brutally honest, messy, and completely unfiltered. I wasn’t writing to be wise or poetic—I was writing to survive. Writing Without Judgment I gave myself permission to put anything on the page. No edits. No shame. Even if the thoughts were dark or irrational, they had to come out. Strangely, the more I wrote, the lighter I began to feel. It was like pulling weeds from a garden—I had to see them clearly before I could understand what needed to be cleare...

"Am I Asking Too Much?”: A Mother’s Silent Pain and the Moment I Broke

Image
“Am I Asking Too Much?”: A Mother’s Silent Pain and the Moment I Broke There was once a mother who raised her daughter all alone. She gave up everything, her dreams, her peace, her joy, to make sure her daughter had everything she needed, and more. She put her own happiness on hold so her daughter could build a better life. Now her daughter is standing on the edge of adulthood. But somewhere along the way, something shifted. All the mother ever asked for in return was something simple. Respect. Not money. Not gifts. Just to be spoken to with kindness. Just to be treated like someone who mattered. But instead of respect, she’s often met with pride. Her daughter refuses to apologize, even when she knows she’s in the wrong. Her words are sharp. Her tone is cold. And it hurts in ways no one can see, because it’s not just disrespect, it’s betrayal. Of all the sacrifices. Of all the sleepless nights. Of all the love. One day, the mother broke. Her daughter spoke to her with su...

The Silent Weight I Carried: My Journey Working Abroad and Searching for Life at 37

The Silent Weight I Carried: My Journey Working Abroad and Searching for Life at 37 This is me talking, at 37 years old.  At 36, I made a big decision, I moved to Canada to work and start a new life. I left my career, my mother, my brother, ash & coco, and everything familiar behind, hoping to build something better, something lasting. Now, I’m here in Canada, still fighting to find life for me . For the past 14 years, I’ve lived a life divided between duty and distance. Working abroad, far away from my daughter, I dedicated myself to building a better future for her. I worked hard. I survived. I sacrificed. I endured. But in the process of showing up for everyone else, I stopped showing up for myself. To many, I’m fortunate. I have a decent job. I own a house. I have food, and security. I’m grateful for everything I’ve achieved. But even gratitude doesn’t cancel out the quiet exhaustion that lives in me. The kind that builds slowly over years of loneliness, responsibility,...
