Divorcing and Healing from a Narcissist: Emotional and Narcissistic Abuse Recovery. Co-parenting after an Emotionally destructive Marriage and Splitting up with with a toxic ex

Rate this book

A life changing book for anyone trapped in an unhealthy marriage or relationship.
Divorce isn’t such a tragedy. A tragedy is staying in an unhappy marriage, teaching your children the wrong things about love. Nobody ever died of divorce.

Does any of this sound familiar?

- Do you try to calmly talk with them about basic things, only for it to end up in an argument?
- Were they once incredibly charming and said all the right things, but now they are mean, apathetic, or passive aggressive?
- Have you tried to change yourself or your feelings, because you know they refuse to change, merely because they don’t think they have to?
- Do you feel incredibly alone, like no one will understand, because to everyone else they are perfect?
- Have you been cheated on yet somehow they make it your fault?
- Or perhaps you have already broken up, yet you are constantly sucked back in by their begging, promises to change, or even threats?
- Have you promised yourself that you will end the relationship, only to find yourself going back to them because you feel guilty, sorry for them, or afraid of being alone or good?

You are in a relationship with a narcissist, and if you haven’t figured it out already, they will never, ever change. It is difficult to get divorced or break up with a narcissist without someone who has been through the same experiences you have. Otherwise, you may make costly financial mistakes by hiring the wrong attorney or giving away your assets, all because you don’t know any better.

You can stay in the relationship and be unhappy, or you can choose to break free. But how do you actually break free? It is not easy, I know. Because I have been there. I was you.

WHAT YOU NEED NOW:

-Someone who has been through the same experiences you have and understands them from the inside.
-Someone who has the knowledge, training, education and experience working on himself and others to lead you through the emotional sh*tstorm that breaking with a narcissist can create.

I can’t promise you that reading to this book is going to be a “total cure”, but I can promise that if you APPLY YOURSELF DILLIGENTLY, take notes, read and re-read the chapters, follow all instructions to the letter, with a  tenacious resolve to get better you will feel an instant decrease in anxiety within the first 24 hours and should see huge improvements within the first 3 days.
This is not hype, this is what my audience commonly report

What’s Holding You Back?

-“What if they find out I’m taking this book?”
You can read this book on any mobile device and download the audio version and listen it when you are away from your home.

-“I’m afraid of really hearing the truth.”
My book is designed with YOU in mind, and all of the information is delivered to you in a loving, gentle manner. You will never be put down by me, and I will never make you feel bad about all that you have endured. In fact, you will learn strategies on how to overcome your fears as well as have real scripts on how to talk to your narcissist, your lawyer, your family and children. You will not only feel heard, but you will feel confident and supported!

- “I’m not ready to do anything just yet. I’ll sign up when I’m ready to take action.”
This book doesn’t force you to do anything you’re not ready to do. You have all the time in the world to complete it, and you do it on your terms and at your speed.

I tend to find most self help style books to be full of non-actionable empty platitudes designed to fill pages while telling you over and over that “you can do it!” often forgoing the actual “it” that you can do.

That being said, this book did have some helpful insights and provided clarity regarding many of the things I had experienced with my ex. The way the book was broken down was extremely helpful, though I felt like more help could have provided with regarding to the coparenting aspect.

On the negative side, the language was often repetitive and the book could have stood a good edit from a developmental and proofreading perspective. The entire book is also left aligned instead of justified, which gives it an amateurish quality. If you can overlook these issues, you’ll find a few helpful answers here.

Help you heal and move on

This book is great for those in a troubled relationship. I liked that the author does not make any judgements. She speaks from a place of compassions, empathy, and understanding. She will help you recognize the signs of a narcissist, as they offer a special set of circumstances to overcome. And then she will help you heal from the damage that can happen in a relationship with a narcissist. Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone who is going through divirce, but especially those in relationships with a narcissist.

A definitive read for anyone contemplating leaving and intending to divorce a narcissist. Empowering to show that there is a much better life on the other side and definitely worth the journey to get a new and amazing life.

Highly recommend to any victim of narcissistic abuse to get free and have the best life. A great positive read.

Great book.

For a long time I questioned why my ex husband couldn’t love me, while I gave 200% to preserve our marriage. After reading this book I realized and understood the Narcissistic behavior and mentality. This book helped me understand what really happened between us. Great book!!!

The Great Escape

This book as a great tool and resource for those that are or have been married to a narcissist. Divorce and coparenting are challenging under normal circumstances, but and in an narcissist, and they can seem impossible. This book will help guide you through the process.

Some good bits in here about recognising behaviors that reaffirm what the reader by now knowa. I was disappointed that the only resolution was only vaguely about healing recentering yourself. There was no mention of co-parenting at all or how to navigate parenting specifically with a narrsassist, pre or post break up.

Amazing book

It is not easy to distance yourself from a narcissist but it can be done. However, once separated, the feelings and emotions are still there. This book was very helpful in identifying and offering suggestions on dealing with the fall out and emotions from a divorce.

I love the way this book gives a fairly simple explanation of what a narcissist is like in a relationship and then gives very direct keys to healing. There were some very relevant quotable lines that leaped out at me.

Helpful, clinical, memorable, and kind

Was able to give the clinical information with enough anecdote and personal experience dividing the sections to make it digestible and easily accessible.

4.5 rounding up. If you’re wondering if you should read this, read this. Simple, digestible, non-judgmental, practical. Not the most profound book, but short and to the point enough to be effective. Will inspire you to take action to heal yourself.

Very helpful realistic and practical advice and insights in to the mind set of a narcissistic partner

Explains how and most importantly why you need to deal with a manipulative and controlling partner in a certain way to free yourself from them.
Helped me through divorce and the year following the divorce reinforcing my self belief when tested to the limit by my ex-husband

Not a well written book.

Lots of typos and vague dialogue with repetitive and overlapping information. I could not recommend this book in lieu of therapy.
