I was criticised during childhood and later in life I had gone through manipulation, gaslight and severe narcissism. My self esteem went to lower level. From a confidential and free souI, I became completely dependent on others. It took me sometime to realise that I am actually used as an object. I started gathering knowledge on narcissism and toxic individuals. Now I am thriver against abuse.

Growing up in a joint family in the 1980s, my sisters and I were never made to feel important in the household. There were no restrictions whatsoever, but we were constantly made aware of being girls. My inner self would never accept that, and I’d often speak out against such attitude. Because I was vocal, I was considered rude, loud and a rebel of sorts. Even my father, who remained supportive all his life, disapproved of my behaviour. His silence led to me being silent at home, and I started to look for people outside. I met quite a few dark personalities; one among them being a narcissist. I was manipulated to the extent that I forgot my own self. That made me understand trauma bond and abuse. And today, I am a thriver against psychological abuse and a voice for abuse victims.
