Escaping a Narcissist: How I fled an emotional abuser, healed and found real happiness

by Katerina Guerra

When Katerina Guerra left her long-term partner, she thought the relationship had disintegrated because they had grown apart over many years. She soon learned her ex was suffering from narcissistic personality disorder, characterised by an extreme sense of entitlement, lack of empathy, dishonest, manipulative behaviour and a very fragile sense of self.
What Katerina had thought were the regular ups and downs of a relationship was in fact a toxic pattern of verbal and emotional abuse. This is her day-by-day account of identifying the problem, the break-up and the aftermath of leaving a narcissist—the harassment, the lengthy legal battle to separate their assets, the emotional ups and downs of making sense of everything that had happened and ultimately finding genuine happiness.
