“My memory begins with my anger.”
― Jacqueline Harpman, I Who Have Never Known Men

“There is no “old Marco” and “new Marco.” Marco was always an illusion; the best magic trick I’ve ever seen.”
― Jen Waite, A Beautiful, Terrible Thing: A Memoir of Marriage and Betrayal

“Now I understand why sociopaths are dubbed “human heroin.” I have been shooting pure, unadulterated psychopathic love into my bloodstream for five years. I am coming down from a drug I didn’t even know I was on, and the withdrawal has knocked me on my fucking ass.”

“Anyone involved in a relationship with a psychopath goes through a long period of something called cognitive dissonance. It is a period of time during which you are trying to merge two realities: that the person you thought was your best friend and the love of your life is actually nothing but an illusion; his sole objective was to build you up so that he could destroy you in the worst way possible.”
― Jen Waite, A Beautiful, Terrible Thing: A Memoir of Marriage and Betrayal
