Titanium: Strength After A Narcissist

by Susan Williams

Your ordeal with the narcissist is finally finished for good? You longed for it to be over and you know you should be relieved but instead you feel even more lost, hurt, angry and betrayed?

It’s not easy when you realize that your entire relationship was built on a lie and that the man you loved wasn’t genuine. It’s even harder when you find out that he has quite possibly moved straight on to someone else. After the final final breakup with a narcissistic you will have times where you may feel so bruised and shattered that it seems like you are merely existing in the world, rather than participating in it. At first you may experience a brief period of freedom and release that the ordeal is finally over but like finally giving birth after a long pregnancy, there will come a point where you realize that the real work has only just now begun. Whereas before you were clinging on for dear life and survival, now you need to find ways to recover and move on. This will include having to undo some less than healthy relationship patterns that you may have been carrying around with you for your entire life.

Titanium is the third and final book in my true story series. It is written for the women who come out of this type of relationship feeling so traumatized that they don’t know where to begin to start to pick up the pieces. This book is not about blaming or shaming, it is about understanding both sides of the dynamic so that you may find peace and happiness and forgiveness. It is written to give faith that no matter how hard it has been, there is a way through and out the other side of narcissistic abuse.

About the author

I am a writer, animal lover and reluctant exerciser. Childhood conditioning (an emotionally unavailable father, a younger brother with schizoaffective disorder) led me to develop various relationships throughout my life with increasingly difficult and narcissistic men, until I encountered the ultimate ‘wolf in sheep’s clothing’ personality, which although a traumatic experience forced me to finally make some necessary changes in my life and in myself.

Up until these books I had mostly written for other people throughout my career, never getting around to writing the book/s I had always intended to write. This series, The Love Games, came about almost by accident from journaling the painful moments throughout my final toxic relationship before I finally 'got the lesson' and moved on to attracting better people and situations into my life. It's ironic that such a painful experience would be the catalyst to finally making me sit down and write.

I share my own personal story in the hope of empowering others through witnessing the mistakes I made and the subsequent lessons I learned about relationships, boundaries, forgiveness and self love.
