These writers not only write about freedom given up or taken away in their relationships with narcissists, but about the difficult but worthwhile path into self-liberation. - Kerry Neville, author of Remember to Forget Me and Necessary Lies
This book mines the sharp line where love becomes weaponized against the sincere, money is a trap, and cars create a threat of violence even as they offer freedom. A must-read and great companion for anyone who has felt the weight of trying to escape emotional abuse and the exploitation of the very human drive toward intimacy. - Monica Drake, author of Clown Girls, The Stud Book, and The Folly of Loving Life
Must-read book for all those who have gone through emotional trauma due to a relationship with narcissist.
Mind-blowing.
