Struggle Session

Existing in a narcissistic relationship is living in hell. I wrote this book to offer company to those who are where I’ve been. For 12 years, my reality was nonstop gaslighting, emotional abuse, confusion and self-doubt. It’s a lonely experience because the narcissist slowly isolates you from family and friends, and you don’t even know how to explain to anyone what’s going on. A narcissist doesn’t always yell. They badger you and push your buttons until you react in a way you wish you hadn’t, and because you’re disappointed that you let them get to you, you believe them when they tell you that you are a bad person. They exploit you because you are the kind of person who wants to have a good relationship, to understand, to listen and not be reactive. I wrote this book for people who are going through or have gotten out of a narcissistic or otherwise abusive relationship. I wrote it so they have company and feel less alone, and maybe to spark the courage to start making a plan to free themselves.
