Life of Jenny Mac

Ive been reading a very insightful book recently called "Why Does He Do That?" by Lundy Bancroft. It has shocked me how much my experience relates to what is in this book and I'd like to share some excerpts.  There were things in this book that absolutely shook me, took me by surprise and made me realize ive been in an abusive relationship. Some other things in this book seemed VERY firmiliar, making me say "yes, i knew this was not on" and i feel vindicated in my thinking after being gaslit for so long.  It took me a while to finish this book because i kept getting angry or anxious reliving my own experiences through its pages. But i do really recommend it to anyone who think they might have an abusive man (in any respect) in their life. This book covers the different archetypes of abusive men and it covers abuse in regards to physical, emotional, financial, psychological, sexual....It goes through the way abusive men think, how they work in relationships, how ...

Jenny has had a makeover....new blog. New reclaiming of name/identity. New look! New haircut even! So.... ALLOW ME TO Re-INTRODUCE MYSELF:  I'm Jenny, currently 32 years old and mother to a wonderful little human being. I grew up in California, but was Naturalised as a British Citizen just this year, although ive been living here since 2011. I've spent the last decade in an abusive relationship and im proud to say that a finalised divorce is on the horizon.  Most of 'old Jenny's' hobbies are the same (Disney, dancing, films, cats, cuddles, fantasy, ren faire, sci-fi, Halloween, dressing up, Pirates, crafting, Nanowrimo, recreational writing, etc)....  I've been building on my interests and rediscovering the things I love, but i have surpressed and kept away from for so long.  I am a practicing Witch.  I believe in nature as the divine.  I believe in my own intuition to guide me. I love the smell of Sage. I like burning candles and incense.  I believe c...

Welcome all,  Here's a brief explaination of why there is a new blog for Life of Jenny Mac:  Even though divorce is still an ongoing process, I have decided to reclaim my identity and migrate my online presence back to my maiden name, McClellan. Part of doing so has meant that my email, google account and everything attached to it (including my old blog), have gone dorment because there is no way to merge google accounts (that I know of).  So new google email address -->  new google acount -->  new blog.  I will still be keeping the old google account in case I need to migrate something I've forgotten over. My old blog in all it's untouched glory can still be found here , but I will be carrying on with future blogs from this new version2. It's been 281 days since Rob moved out of the house and I'm still finding my way back to myself. I'm rediscovering who I am, coming to terms with what I've gone through and hopefully moving forward to provide a happi...
