This story is true and was a snapshot of my life while married and trying to escape and survive the punishment of a narcissistic marriage. It started in 2016 and went for a full two years, just about destroying myself and my children. I discovered what the term Narcissist was before the term was as popular as it is today. There was also a large spiritual presence that took place leading up to and throughout the ordeal that I know was something beyond this realm. Knowing what I do now, I would do things so much different, so if this book can help someone recognize and leave a relationship or marriage a healthier way, I hope it does. As soon as I was divorced in 2018, I wrote this manuscript in order to incapsulate and document what transpired. My children wanted me to wait to finish publishing it while they were still in school locally. Now they've all gone off to college, I decided to complete what I started. I'm honest with myself, reality and the truth of this story. It was the best therapy moving forward in life.
