Love Bombing
Understanding the Narcissist Love, affection, kindness and gifts are all really normal aspects in a healthy relationship, which is why it’s so hard to distinguish when it’s actually the toxic love bombing of the narcissist instead.

Gaslighting
Understanding the Narcissist I don’t know about you, but I hear this word a lot more these days. I’m in a lot of different parenting groups on social media and quite often you’ll see mums posting frustrated rants about their partner who is driving them crazy. Usually, it’s a justified rant, she blows off steam, […]

Weaponised Incompetence
Understanding the Narcissist You know when you’re building an Ikea flat-pack and you reach the point where you just want to hang yourself because the instructions don’t make sense, the pieces don’t align and quite frankly you can’t picture subjecting yourself to this torture for a single moment longer?

Chaos Continues
In the chaos that cycled around her, just for a moment she surrendered. Shoulders slumped, eyelids heavy, reality suspended. The world trickled off her like a rain shower in the spring. Instinct dragged her towards him, all her resistance dissolved. His hand, a slow pressure on her lower back. The warmth of him. Rough fingertips […]

The Dressmaker’s Room
After unbuckling him from his car seat, I expected Benny to launch himself across the gravel path with his usual buoyancy. Instead, a small hand slipped into my own as he stayed beside me. I was startled to see my fearless five-year-old looking suddenly so small and still. “Skellington house.” I found my gaze drawn […]

Writing Prompt – you wake up and are surrounded by aliens. Max 500 words.
I knew instantly that they were there, I didn’t need to open my eyes. “Go away…” I grumbled. There was a sharp intake of breath, followed by the flurry and fluster of narrow feet on the wood floor as they scuttled out of the room. I tried to go back to sleep, but my brain […]

#3 Things I shouldn’t have tolerated, in no particular order A question has tortured me for years. Driven me close to madness, in fact. Does he know – does he UNDERSTAND what he has done to me? Does he care? Is it intentional? It doesn’t come to you as a question at first, not second, […]

Tommy Stone of Castle Ruin
“Is it alive?” “I can’t tell.” “Looks like it’s breathing!” “There’s just so much mud.” Tommy peered over the crumbling stone wall at the two girls crouching over what appeared to be a mound of dirty leaves from where he stood. They had their backs to him and clearly hadn’t noticed him on their way […]
