My first husband and the father of my first two children is a narcissist. Due to constant gaslighting, control, and narcissistic emotional abuse, I stayed in a miserable marriage for seven years. When I was finally ready to make the change that I had known for so long was needed, Lē ensured that me and my boys had a safe place to stay while I separated from my husband. They helped me retain legal counsel and explained to me my rights as a stay-at-home mom and more than once stepped in with a protective hand when my soon-to-be ex-husband tried to use his manipulations to leave me with far less than my fair share of our marital assets. During the separation, they taught me rituals and strategies for getting in touch with the deepest part of my heart, a place that had been buried for safety for so long. They gave me above all the gift of safe space to hear my own inner voice. That was a few years ago. Today I am remarried to a man who treats me like a queen, and I have rediscovered myself.
