This was a journey of mental illness, game playing, and deceit, turning into a journey of acceptance, insight, forgiveness, and eventual peace. Some good from a bad situation I am strong. I am fierce. I am a survivor. I am me. I won the hardest game of my life by refusing to play anymore, and I have never been happier since. I continue to use my experience to empathise and support people through their journeys through this minefield called life, to educate and inform others of their own strength and power to reject narcissism and game-playing.
