About this listen
Within every community, toxic people can be found hiding in families, couples, companies, and places of worship. The cryptic nature of psychological abuse involves repetitious mind games played by one individual or a group of people. Psychological abuse leaves no bruises. There are no broken bones. There are no holes in the walls. The bruises, brokenness, and holes are held tightly within the target of the abuse.

Lit truly was revelational
I still find myself emotionally wanting to get sucked back in
But now I know why it happens in the sheer fact that I know why it’s giving me the strength not to get sucked back in
And it’s all because of your writings that brought it to light
