Breaking Up With Evil

by Jennifer Smith, Daria Grigoryan (Editor)

Breaking Up with Escaping Coercive Control is a page-turning collection of five women’s true stories of recognizing and leaving narcissistic abuse and coercive control. Think five Dirty John stories or a collection of Tinder Swindlers. Are you escaping coercive control? You’re not alone. These mind-bending trips through the looking glass don't happen because there’s something wrong with you, but because these people of no conscience and malignant intent exist. Each of these courageous women, of different backgrounds and circumstances leaves nothing unsaid in sharing the tale of their fall from paradise and promises into a terrifying hell of confusion, pain, and danger. In journal-like entries, they paint clear images of their realizations and discoveries in their odysseys of awakening to who it is they fell in love with, and their triumph in breaking the spell of narcissistic abuse and coercive control. Take a ride through the surreal real-life stories of discovering the truth of a predator wearing a mask of Prince Charming, and boldly taking back their lives in breaking up with evil.

[Darlene Nolin · Rating 5 out of 5]

Five compelling true stories of false love gone terribly wrong. The lives of these five women are shaken by preditors who use them for their own gain for power and control. All five women triumphantly detach from their toxic relationships to find the light at the end of the tunnel. There is life after toxic partners and it's a wonderful life.

[Piper · Rating 5 out of 5]

A riveting collection of stories about women who escaped men who held them in cult-like control and abused them. Absolutely difficult but fascinating read. Highly recommend.
