Would Mostly Recommend

Well written. Would recommend for basic information about having a Narcissistic Father. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is due to my own disagreement about the possibility of continuing to attempt to have a relationship with a Narcissistic parent.
I feel when dealing with any Narcissist, immediate and lasting "No Contact" is best.

This book was very misleading. I had originally thought this was a book written by a therapist when I bought it, but it's written by a daughter of a narcissist. I appreciate the perspective of someone whom has experienced this dynamic, however, I don't think it's appropriate that the book was written as if she is a therapist giving clinical information and suggestions when she doesn't have the clinical training or license to do so.

A recommended resource!

This is an uncomplicated yet thorough book that addresses everything about having a Narcissist if Father. From traits shown to the impact it has childhood an adult life this is full of clear, helpful information.

I related to so much and gained new knowledge and validation that it's not my fault. The section on how to interact as an adult or the choice to disconnect is brilliant. The truth of his this abuse leads to choosing Narcissist partners i relate to. PTSD is described and treatment options.

I have read a lot of books on this topic and recommend this to you without hesitation. A very easy book to digest. Be strong and be healed.

OY the grammar

This book is a good baseline to learn more about narcissistic fathers. It’s written ok. Definitely not the best self help book I’ve ever read. The grammar is pretty bad, but not the worst. Again, if you’re looking for a quick read to get a fast understanding on how to move on from a narcissist father, then this is an ok start.
