Pleasure: the knowing of some of the amazing things survivors of narcissistic abuse go on to cook and write (i.e., express/value in a fundamental way), and just do in-general. The firmness in the boundaries they set with people. Y’know, they’ll develop a refined air for cleaning (they might’ve just been relatively average cleaners overall), they’ll advocate for the marginalised and themselves all-the-more, they’ll make the best bumbleberry pie, they’ll write books, they’ll start new businesses, they’ll go back to uni. and get another Master’s. The alchemy of trauma can be deeply rewarding to see, as they step into a better version of themselves in Christ (in a metaphysical, not deeply religious, sense).
