66. Good Boundaries & Goodbyes: Protecting Your Peace From a Narcissistic Ex

Leaving a narcissistic relationship is hard. But sometimes, leaving is only the beginning. If you're a Christian mom who has left a toxic or narcissistic husband, you may be facing more than just the logistics of starting over. You may be questioning yourself, struggling to trust your own decisions, feeling guilty about your family, or wondering how you're ever going to feel like you again. In this episode of Her Healing Season, Bethany gets personal about her own experience of leaving her first husband with two young children and the difficult season of leaving, coming back, questioning herself, and learning to trust her decisions again. She shares two things God taught her along the way: GOOD BOUNDARIES — Learning to let your yes be yes and your no be no, refusing to be talked out of decisions you know are right, and protecting yourself from unhealthy patterns without becoming consumed by conflict. GOODBYES — Learning that it's okay to let go of people, things, expectations, old identities, and even the future you thought you were going to have. Sometimes healing means releasing what God is asking you to release so you can move forward into what He has for you. Together, we'll look at Scripture including Matthew 5:37, 1 Kings 18:21, Proverbs 22:24–25, John 15, 1 Corinthians 15:33, Philippians 3:13–14, and Matthew 10. If you're struggling with healing after leaving a narcissistic husband, setting boundaries, rebuilding your peace, trusting yourself again, or letting go of the past, this episode is for you.
