It has been a month since I 'broke up' with my narcissistic mom and therefore with my parents.

I have been feeling al lot better since then: I'm happier, I have more energy and I don't miss them at all.

On the other hand, I still get these little moments in which I feel suddenly anxious without any valid reason. I think my body is 'resetting', like some sort of rehab.

Last night I joined a fraternity. My parents used to hate everything about the university life, but I absolutely love it. After being a member of a low level student association for over a year, I feel like I am ready to take this step. I am excited as heck.

So kids: saying a final goodbye to your parents is hard, but sometimes the only solution. You are valid, you deserve better and you are not the cause of the mistakes your parents make/have made.
