Character Outs

STORY: kim


Listen Later

Join me as I read Kim's story.

Kim is a survivor of a toxic family, including the emotional abuse of her narcissistic mother.

Abandonment, triangulation with her younger brother at the hands of her narcissistic mother, the loss of her father, the lifetime effort to try and make it work, along with periods of no contact. All leading to the moment she realized her worth and said no more.

The moment of no contact is where her healing journey and search to make up for lost time began.

Kim is single, child free and works a corporate job. In her spare time, she writes fiction books that are either historical or contemporary lead by a strong female character, most of which have a family of choice (don't you love that-normalizing this no contact journey through fiction literature-amazing.) The overriding theme of her books features people being raised in less-than-ideal situations and triumphing later in life (sounds a lot like you dear friend.)

Kim's writing is like therapy, and she wouldn't be who she is without it. She also has a love for old cars and vintage aircraft. When she is not writing she enjoys photography and attending air and car shows.

Kim, thank you for trusting me with your story. Keep on walking friend.
