Story
Breaking up in normal circumstances is hard enough. If you throw a narcissist into the equation, it makes it all the more difficult. If you're looking to listen to this audiobook, you're likely heartbroken and looking for some guidance, support, or understanding. As someone who has been through the hell of a narcissistic relationship, I can offer you all three, and I hope this audiobook can help you make sense of this heartbreaking time.

If you're constantly feeling on edge, forever working to appease your spouse to little avail and feel like you're constantly being chipped away at with their abusive behavior, then I can understand how emotionally shattering it feels to live this way. If, in the same breath, it breaks your heart to even consider leaving them because you can't imagine life without them, then I can understand that feeling too - because I was trauma bonded to my abusive ex.

Although clinical research has been conducted on narcissism as a disorder, less is known about its effects on victims who are in toxic relationships with partners with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Individuals with this disorder engage in chronic devaluation and manipulation of their partners, a psychological and emotional phenomenon known as "narcissistic abuse". Unfortunately, the full extent of what narcissistic abuse entails is not taught in any psychology class or diagnostic manual.

Confusing. Crazy making. Draining. Does this describe your relationship? Do you wonder if they will ever change? Do you want to know why they lie so much...even when the truth would work better? Have you wondered why they never seem to change - no matter how much you are willing to do for them, or how much love, understanding, rehab, religion, therapy, second (or 22nd) chances you’ve given them? If so, you are not alone and this book is a great place to start.

Still struggling from the effects of a narcissistic or psychopathically abusive relationship? Narcissistic Victim Syndrome is not officially recognised, nor is it widely even known. Covert Narcissists dangle their vulnerability in front of you as bait, just waiting for your good nurturing mothering/fathering instincts to kick in and rescue the poor little lost child they are presenting to you. But beneath the mask of a shy, vulnerable and “good person” something far more sinister lurks.

A tragedy is staying in an unhappy marriage, teaching your children the wrong things about love. Nobody ever died of divorce. It is difficult to get divorced or break up with a narcissist without someone who has been through the same experiences you have. Otherwise, you may make costly financial mistakes by hiring the wrong attorney or giving away your assets, all because you don’t know any better.

Within every community, toxic people can be found hiding in families, couples, companies, and places of worship. The cryptic nature of psychological abuse involves repetitious mind games played by one individual or a group of people. Psychological abuse leaves no bruises. There are no broken bones. There are no holes in the walls. The bruises, brokenness, and holes are held tightly within the target of the abuse.

Publisher's Summary
Narcissistic abuse is a form of abuse that ensures victims are left emotionally drained, mentally exhausted, and devoid of any self-worth or self-esteem. I was a victim of a malignant narcissist for seven years of my life, and I know just how crushing it is to live such an abusive and suppressed life. The helplessness and detachment from reality that comes with narcissistic abuse are enough to keep you in the tight grip of the abuser for as long as they choose.
However, I eventually found the courage to leave my abuser, but it didn’t end there. As you may know, ending a relationship with a narcissist isn’t that easy - even if it was the narc who did the breaking up, they don't just "let you go" - they try to make sure you’ll go through hell before you get one over on them.
In this audiobook, I want to offer you some guidance on this rarely-talked about aspect of an abusive relationship: how to deal with a narcissist when they’re your ex.
The chapter list is as follows:
- Why you shouldn’t go back and why you need to move on
- Why you need to go "no contact" and ways you can do this
- How to stop missing your abuser
- Understanding and dealing with "hoovering’" after a break-up
- Narcissistic stalking
- How to deal with "flying monkeys"
- Survivor stories from two former narcissistic abuse victims
Throughout the audiobook, I also offer some of my own story too, in the hopes that this offers you a sense of familiarity. You’ll likely find that thing things I went through are very similar to your own experiences, and the purpose of this audiobook is to get you to the point where I’m currently at: healed and thriving.

thank you so much!!
absolutely amazing. I'm going through this right now with my narcissistic EX. she is currently back in my life for the hundredth time in the last five months. it's almost like our souls are tied together with magnets. no matter how hard I try to get away and cut all ties of communication, I always get sucked back in. I was abandoned as a child so my biggest fear is being alone, and she uses that to her advantage. she also knows that my love language is physical touch. she knows I'm not being physically affectionate with anyone else, so the only way I can truly feel love is if I allow her back in my life. she actually began to call me a narcissist and started pulling up articles to make me believe that i was the one who was manipulating her. I read this book with an open mind. I wondered if I was the narcissist. I tried to put myself in the shoes of the narcissist, but the shoes didn't fit. it's been her the entire time. hopefully this will give me the strength to finally be at piece with walking away, for good this time.

Wish I read this instead of counseling
Listening to this one book shed more light than any friend or family or counselor ever has. If I would had this book 5 years ago my life would not be where it is today and I would be so much more ahead and would not have been staying in a toxic relationship and I would’ve known what a narcissist is and exactly everything they said is exactly everything my narcissist was doing to me.
It made me want to say do you know my narcissist!!??? Listening over and over to this is what really set me free and made me stand my ground’s to get away!!

Thank you!
I was struggling with the fact that my narcissistic Ex recently left me after almost 2 years of abuse and torment with no closure or explanation. I made the mistake of ignoring all the red flags and fell in love with a person that was only present about 25% of the time that we were together.
After listening to this audiobook I felt the weight lifted off of my chest, heart and conscious. It was such a relief and what I had been praying to happen for a while now. I plan to listen to it again soon. It was so therapeutic.
Thank you Lauren for sharing your story!! You have changed my life and freed me from the bondage! You are such a blessing.

too short
I'm not going to sit here and say that this was a bad book I'm just going to say that there are other books out there that you can buy this is definitely one that you should keep but you should look for something longer that gives you more detail and understanding especially considering that it only speaks on male narcissists it doesn't tell you how complicated female narcissists can be and how they can abuse their way into marriage and then making your life a living hell for the rest of your life with your kids.

This book is incredibly accurate and helpful
OMG - was this book written for me ? I have been in a toxic narcissistic relationship for over 20 years and i have 2 grown up boys with my ex. I left him 3 years ago but I also lost my family and friends and my oldest son due to my ex being a narcissist who successfully turned everyone against me.
No one believed in me because of his charming exterior and so I have felt the only way to live my life and keep in touch with my son and family is to stay close to him. I am still in the toxic relationship even now (he uses my kindness, my money (even though he earns twice what I earn). I am such a fool !!
I needed this book because for the first time I have realised it’s not me that’s to blame and I must start loving myself and move on.
thank you for this book x
