I am also a survivor of narcissistic abuse and have experienced the narc abuse cycle in multiple relationships. I have battled and healed from the codependency that results from having an abusive childhood.    QUIZZES: I have developed customized quizzes for you to identify traits of neurodiversity as well as toxic personality traits in partners.
