Survivor Stories

You are not the only one.

Real stories from people who have lived through toxic relationships, narcissistic abuse, and cults. Every story is read personally and shared only with permission.

Be the first to share.

Every story here will start with one person brave enough to say, "This happened to me." Yours could be the one that helps someone else finally see what's happening, and know they are not alone.

Share it publicly or privately. Anonymous is always an option.

Share Your Story

Your story could help someone see sooner.

Whether it happened in a relationship, a family, a friendship, a workplace, a church, or a group, your experience can help someone else recognize what is happening to them.

Every story is read personally. You choose whether it's shared on this site or sent only to Sarah and James. Shared stories may be shortened or have details removed to protect you and others, and you decide whether your first name appears or you stay anonymous.
