Welcome to Season 7!  Signs of a narcissistic mother, effects of narcissistic abuse, signs of gaslighting, effects of gaslighting


From a very young age, Melissa suffered physical abuse at the hands of her mother. Melissa’s father was absent for work much of the time and Melissa’s parents marriage was highly volatile and chaotic. (**Trigger Warning**) The chaos reached a devastating peak when, at the age of 3 1/2, Melissa’s father murdered her mother. From that moment, Melissa was deeply traumatised. She had lost both her parents, her home, and was thrust into the midst of a highly sensationalised murder trial, and this was only the beginning of Melissa’s trauma. Melissa was placed with a new family who subjected her to years of shame and humiliation, encompassing many forms of abuse—physical, emotional, social, mental, and spiritual. As a young adult, Melissa was completely broken. However, this is not just a story of deep devastation and despair, this is a story of true resilience and empowerment. This is the story of one incredible human's decision to reclaim control of her life and create her own destiny. You can find Melissa at https://www.instagram.com/letmeglowyamind
