life’s a Muzikal (We can't hear the Music) - February 23rd, 2021 - Still sober two years later🙏🏼☯️

Our sons mom, Mandie Starets-Foote, is still making horrendous allegations, [Lies], (new ones), almost 3 years after she had Us, (Son’s Father), legally removed. [She didn’t provide 1 exhibit in court to back up any of her claims - & she still got the order] -Leaving Our 7 month old son in her emotionally cold hands… Causing Us to get passionately involved with #FathersRights

Video dated February 23rd, 2021

The following was published on March 17th, 2023.
Waiting 2 years to publish it - (3 years away from alcahol & any non prescribed substances) - wasnt a conscious decision … in fact, nothing was truly conscious until we broke thru the narcissistic spell We didnt know was manipulating Our life.
Hearing myself defend her character here in this video only brings clearer & clearer the extent of psychological abuse that transpired. This woman drove me to a psychiatric breakdown, lied to my family & friends saying We relapsed & unjustly robbed Our son of his dad.

*This video was one month before the restraining order & 5 months before the rape allegations…

*🙏🏼 3 years of periodically writing the ongoing narrative, #RecoveryIsDiscoveryIsRecovery - 5 years since We dropped the first #DaamnTalk video - 2 years fighting a #DUI; a “DUI” that occurred days after our 1 year sobriety birthday… (2 years since Our son became the weapon of choice for his mother)… yes, Recovery IS discovery…

*Many people are a little narcissistic, especially addicts like Us! -some more than others & some are a truly diagnosable #narcissist, #Narcissistic Personality : a disconnect between emotion & action. More specifically, folks with NPD are more prone to sufficiently ‘mirror’ people into liking them (‘mirroring’ is an act of imitating the behaviors one believes the other to find desirable in themselves), causing them to unknowingly ‘fall in love with themself.) So much has become clear since escaping her manipulative strong hold.
Those with NPD have trouble identifying their own role in things, seeing how their behavior emotionally effects those around them, tracing real-life ‘effects’ back to any particular ‘causes’. Often compartmentalize &/or use some aspect, some ‘facet in fact’, to manipulate the creation of an ongoing false narrative. (Sprinkle it with truth so it’ll go down as such.) However elaborate, a large majority of what We’ve read/seen/heard from her (about Us) -is not true!
Plain & simple; We’ve stayed quiet because there was not much point in the alternative (with his mother). Consequent information in new light; Our son is being raised by a very, ‘spiritually sick’ person & to not speak out would be to enable her neglect & abuse towards Muzik. Shes called Us, her sons dad, a “rapist”… To even put that out there!?-now for Our son & who knows what he’ll ever be able to fully believe when he eventually asks. His mother has already had him diagnosed with Autism & it’s our inclination that she’s setting up a ‘parental neglect excuse card’, “Our son is challenged, it has nothing to do with my mothering.” It’s all too familiar, as we lived within her castle of chaos for nearly 3 years.
That - was nearly year(s) ago now, as Muzik will be 3 in August of this year, 2023. Recovery has taught Us much over the last trio of sober years, We get to uncover on the daily what life is actually like without our crutch, absent Our cure. Psychiatric wards, therapy, counseling & meetings. Medication-assisted-treatments… Blessed to engage In It all.
We became the brand new dad to a Muzikal baby boy- In recovery! - We then Got a lesson on the power of #narcissisticabuse, During our Recovery. We were diagnosed with #schizo #Bipolar & #IED while in Recovery. We also Became the new dad to a beautiful baby girl - forever changing the Kaydance to Our daily program. Real, open communication with a life partner that was first a best friend- participating in Truthful, Honest dialogue and working towards the betterment of a new life We created out of Love - while in Recovery!

It’d be a lie to say All of this Joy isn’t diluted by the knowledge that we’ve left Our Boy with the closest thing to an evil sociopath that we’ve ever crossed. Still working relentlessnessly to document her lies, while flirting with the prospect of publishing Our own documented evidence of the Truth, past & present. (Especially past.)

No doubt the hatefully fueled messages will Increase as a result of this publication… Ourself & even Our parents having received countless PM’s from Mandie’s ‘narcissistic supply’. Having built up a following from a foundation of lies, her thousands of ‘friends’ only serve to further solidify the delusional narrative she’s probably convinced even herself of. A narrative that continues to place her own ‘emotional’ needs - above the needs of her own children.

The gratitude. The resentment. The Love. The Love. Thanks for Our time, We hope to Talk with you on Our locals.com Community, thatDaamnTalkspot.locals.com
