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

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.

There were some reviews regarding the author and his/her credentials, which I could careless about, this book was spot-on to the actions of my narcissistic husband that I am in the middle of a divorce with right now. I have been so clueless for so many years on the issues until I began to read and understand. I haven't been happy in years, and he has mentally brainwashed me to live and do by his ways while ruining every event we ever went to. Constant arguing and me defending myself, the accusations, the constant negative remarks - it all makes so much sense now. I finished this book in two days. I am re-reading to make myself familiar with some key points to remember as I adjust my life to break this trauma bond. To those women/men going thru this and they are trying to pull you back in - stay strong and take care of YOU for once.

Most of this is an excuse to justify not looking at the relationship as a whole. Being married to a narcissist for years, I think we both are! Although I don’t see any orientation to this to set a standard for true healing of the narcissist or self centered aspect of most of humanity!One thing is clear that taking care of yourself, setting boundaries, loving yourself, those are what any spiritual person does already. It’s almost as if narcissism is addressing someone who can’t and won’t take responsibility for their side of the street.My wife is a narcissist who is in denial of alcoholism in her family and has shamed me for years by keeping me isolated and confused. I nearly took my life to escape her venom. This book doesn’t address addiction and it’s effects on the family. Or some of the broader issues of faith and spiritual living. It’s helpful, and my faith community has become my first line of defense like the book suggests!I just try to pray for her (my wife) rather than label her a narcissist. I don’t know, I guess that’s why I’m the empath! Ha!

Fantastic book! Very, very insightful. Helped with understanding an extremely difficult person.

So helpful and educational I look forward to getting to use these techniques and ideas to create a better future

This book was full of useful information about narcissist personalities, but read like a college research report. It had no “life” and was so full of facts, that it seemed repetitive and dry. I did find it helpful in understanding my narcissistic ex, as well as why I was personally stuck in the relationship for so long, but the suggestions on how to move forward were a little lacking, as if the author did thorough research, but had no first hand experience...

I want to thank to authorize about topic is help me understand completely. I’m divorced and Domestic Violence from EX. I was confused and upset (Don’t understand myself). My therapy suggested me to read this whole. I felt better and resources about this book. Thank you!

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

I bought this for a friend going through this situation and they love it. I read about half of it, and I cam see why. It's an easy read. Talks in everyday terms, and very little fluff. Would definitely recommend

I gave it as a gift to my recent divorced mother! She says it's an eye opener!

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

Very good information and advice.
