Singular Insanity was one woman’s story of awakening.  Awakening from a long dream, where she believed herself content, having it all, yet vaguely dissatisfied with her life.

As her life unravelled, piece by painful piece, she began doubting her own sanity.  With time she came to realise and accept that her insanity was the result of meticulous, subtle and insidious psychological and emotional abuse.

I am that woman.  And this is my story.

If you are new here, you might like to read these posts to get to know my back story.

Prologue – my first ever post

Just an ordinary Thursday – the day my home was raided by the Federal Police

The Truth Is – the facts and nothing but the facts

No, I wasn’t OK – the consequences of abuse

Such a fool am I – acknowledging what I lost

Why am I sad? – acknowledging the sadness

Sad and disconnected – I write about the long road to recovery

Not all abuse leaves a bruise – the impact of psychological abuse on my sanity

I married a chameleon – acknowledging the insanity in my relationship

Seven Habits of Highly Sociopathic Husbands – the actions of a sociopath

With these words, I unmarry you – I use words to sever the bond

In a few weeks, I will be finally working full time in Geelong and living close to the beach.

Cheers!

Sam and I went to see a couple of houses in Geelon Sam and I went to see a couple of houses in Geelong today and in between we visited Eastern Beach. It's like a little St Kilda, without the cake shops. Or at least we didn't find any.

This house hunting business is exhausting, when you have to travel so far. Three more trips next week. At least Sam is proving to be a fun companion.

It stopped being reliable for me a while ago, due to lack of care, due to lack of money. Now off to another family and another life.
