Recently, I’ve been thinking a lot about, and trying to heal from, ugly things people have said to me. I’ve always been told I’m overly sensitive or that I take things too personally. When I was younger, I remembered adults always chiming “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me” when my classmates or I experienced someone saying something rude to us or about us.
The thing is, as God has recently revealed to me, that phrase is not biblical.
Now let me show you why it isn’t, and why this phrase is actually a harmful one to teach children who have experienced verbal bullying.
12 years ago, On the Flip Side was just an idea floating around in my head, and now it’s actual ink on paper! Join me in celebrating my 7th published book’s release day!
Unlike, The Ballad of Emery Brooks trilogy, On the Flip Side isn’t about a music-loving protagonist. Even so, I couldn’t help but compile a massive playlist for this book based off its themes, as I’ve come across so many songs that relate to what the Oliver twins go through!
So, please sit back and enjoy all the moody tunes from my upcoming release!
As someone who witnessed first-hand how much damage a narcissist can do to a loved one years ago, like Katie Oliver in my next release, On the Flip Side, I learned the hard way what not to say to someone who is in a toxic relationship. It was an extremely painful period of my life, as the narcissist isolated my loved one from everyone else who loved them and, as a result, caused friction between me and my loved one to the point where we barely spoke to one another.
If you’re currently in a similar situation, watching a loved one date (or remain married to) someone who constantly belittles them, abuses them, or engages in secret, illegal or immoral activity that harms your loved one and have no idea how to talk to them anymore, this post is for you.
