| Introduction | I am a survivor of narcissistic abuse, a mother who fought to reclaim her life, and a woman who finally found freedom. For years, I lived under the control of someone who twisted love into fear, using manipulation, gaslighting, and cruelty to keep me trapped. I thought I was protecting my children by staying, but in reality, we were all drowning in a nightmare I refused to see for what it was. Breaking free wasn’t easy—it was terrifying. But the moment I stepped away, I saw my life and my children’s pain with heartbreaking clarity. I had been surviving, not living. And they had been suffering, not thriving. Now, I’m remarried to a man who loves with kindness, not control. I’ve rebuilt a life where my children can finally feel safe, and where I can breathe without fear. Monster Behind the Mask: Surviving Mr. Hyde is my raw, unfiltered account of what I endured, how I escaped, and what I’ve learned about healing after years of emotional and psychological abuse. If you’re reading this and feel trapped, know this: you are not crazy, you are not weak, and you are not alone. There is life after abuse. There is healing. And most of all, there is hope. |
