This week on the show, I have a single mum, Julia, sharing her story.
Julia has been a single mum since 2018 and is a part of my Thrive Tribe community.
When Julia met her partner, their relationship progressed quite quickly and they soon moved in together. In 2013, she gave birth to their first baby which was the beginning of a spiral of trauma for Julia. Julia also suffered from PND after the birth, which was when her partner's narcissistic tendencies started showing up.
Julia and her partner were married shortly before their second son was born a few years later.
Gradually over the years, Julia's husband started showing some strange behavior. He lied, he was very deceptive, and he had trouble sleeping. He was also starting to get involved in violent situations with strangers.
Concerned about these things, his mood swings and paranoia, and because he was starting to get sores all over his body, Julia spoke to a doctor.
Not long after, Julia's husband confessed to her that he was a drug addict. Julia tried to support him but eventually she told him to leave while he sobered up after he had a psychotic episode and hit her.
In 2018, Julia took their kids on a holiday, and when they returned, he had emptied the house of his belongings and moved to Queensland.
