A must read if you even think your relationship is in trouble.
Definitely a five star reading experience. It said and explained a lot of things that were a problem in my relationship. Page after page I saw the problems. Oh how I wish this information in its easy to read and understand format had been available 15 years ago!
I believe when a person is ready to hear the truth about narcissistic abuse, this type of personal, easy to read straight forward information and encouragement is going to help many struggling souls to see the light at the end of their tunnel.
This book about life with a narcissist was personable and entertaining while discussing a dark and destructive relationship dynamic which occurs more often than we realize.
This "book" is really more of a super long blog post explaining how easy it is to get taken in by a narcissist, how to get yourself out of the relationship, and the importance of loving yourself and embracing your own worth.
I read it in about an hour (less than 60 pages on the Kindle cloud feature). It's a great start for someone who had no idea they were dealing with a narcissist, or who does not know how to identify one. This had a lot of errors that could have been caught by a professional proofreader though, which is why it lost a star in my review.
Recommended for the teen children of narcissists actually, because it doesn't have any bad words, it's easy to understand, and there aren't any books targeted to the abused teen child of narcissists.
I’m just getting out of a failed marriage. I’m left feeling insane and like everything is my fault. This book pretty much just spelled out my whole marriage. It gave me a great sense of relief. I now feel even more like I know what I need to do and that I made the right decision. Thank you!
Truer words were never spoken. A well written book about a very hard subject. If you only get one thing from this, let it be this: you are worthy and deserve accordingly. It saddens me that so many people go through this on a daily basis and I praise the author for having the guts to talk about it and the bravery to reach out to others in hopes of helping them.
Finally! Someone Brave enough to say it all. Wonderfully written with a creative flair. This book made me feel better as well as shined some light on such a depressing subject. I have read many books on narcissistic abuse but this one is different. .Thank You Jennifer.
An Invaluable Read Those Living With Narcissistic "Others"
This easy-to-read book is a must-read for people finding themselves with narcissistic spouses/significant others who tear them down. I loved this writer's style and voice and her forthright manner.
Just what I needed right now. The "flying monkey circus" is the perfect analogy for the gossip and crap against me, and I'm glad to have some validation that I'm not alone. Healing is a process but I'm on my way.
I needed to read that. four years is enough. I'm going to be me again. That goofy crazy silly woman I've always been. I'm gilded and beautiful. Thank you.
So nice to be validated. That I'm not the crazy one or the person who just can't have a relationship with anyone. (His words) Best part is the author is right. You can and will survive and eventually pieces of your real self will return.
