Stop Making Me Cry: A Journey Through Emotional Pain
All Grace ever wanted was the normal things in a happy marriage, a big house, and a loving family. She never imagined her life would turn out so differently. The submissive Christian life she was asked to live left her totally dominated, oppressed, and depressed by her aggressive, controlling, and manipulative husband. She and her children were systematically crushed, and their will to thrive was snuffed out at every turn. She had no idea how to handle the insults and abuse from her husband or the isolation from her family. She never thought she’d lose her faith in God or plunge into such depths of despair. This powerful, heart-wrenching, true story of living every day with an abuser will educate readers on the serious nature of abuse, and it will show how Grace received healing and restoration after going through years of emotional abuse. It was only through God that she was able to find the strength to stand up for herself. Don’t miss out on this gripping narrative which is for anyone who has experienced emotional pain and is familiar with feelings of sadness, and who wants to find peace, joy and freedom.

I happen to know the author of this book personally and I know that she herself is a narcissist who likes to gaslight. She left out the part where she cheated on her husband by selling herself as a prostitute to clients that she was supposed to be helping under the pretense that she was providing healthcare for these patients. But she was making extra money on the side by prostituting herself and her husband found out she had to play the victim to cover her tracks. She has become a professional at playing the victim and she is an sympathy addict. Do not believe everything you read!!!

This is such a great book of healing for emotional pain. When you face physical abuse and mental abuse, I find there are more tools out there to help you combat that. But when it come to emotional abuse, it is so hard to reach out for that help. This book beings comfort to all those who deal with this type of abuse and helps you to find your voice and strength once more. I highly recommend this book.

What a good book! Because of the abuse behind her story and my own journey, I found myself at some times so raw, so hurt, so angry, that I had to lay the book down at some points and walk away while those feelings inside me rattled around. The pain of the situation hits you and rolls on over. Thank you for sharing your story. I know I am not alone.

Narcissistic personality disorder: a true story
This book is a true, first-hand account of a young lady who unknowingly married a man with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Her story relates, in detail, the insidiously slow and stealthy way the man with this disorder wreaked havoc on her (the innocent unsuspecting partner) and eventually the children. If you're like I was, you probably didn't know much about this disorder. Reading this book helped me see what was happening in my own life! I discovered that I wasn't crazy and that my experiences had an explanation called Narcissistic Personality Disorder! My situation is less severe than the author's was, and now I know better what to look for, what to avoid, and how to deal with things better because I know what to research and understand what's happening with my husband. More importantly, I know I'm not crazy and that I do have value. For those who have had these experiences, reading this book may trigger severe emotional reactions. Some people may think the author exaggerated or skewed the facts. I believe her implicitly. Those who have experienced any level of this can verify the truth of this kind of craziness. But that isn't all there is to this story. It didn't end there. It also speaks of the author's ingenuity and strength and perseverance through horrendously grievous times. It tells how she preserves herself and her family. It is a story of hope and restoration. I am thankful I read it.
