by Tessa WellsPublish: Mar 27, 2019General Nonfiction Book Overview
WHAT IS IT ABOUT BAD RELATIONSHIPS? Truth is . . . they suck! In fact, they suck the life right out of you. Bad relationships are . . . simply put . . . bad. But as crappy as bad relationships can be, a relationship with a Narcissist is a thousand times worse. Gaslighting, game-playing, control, manipulation, drama, bullying, and all the other destructive qualities of the Narcissist, coupled with an overarching need for constant adoration, can make you feel like you've hit the bad-luck jackpot. Throw in the smarmy charms and fakery of The Player, and you're knee-deep in the land of the unhinged. Some days you feel like you're a patient at the crazy farm as you try to navigate a shifting landscape, while other days you're driven to contrive revenge tactics as you grapple with the fallout. It's all a balancing act until the day you're finally set free from the Narcissist's grip, and even then that freedom is short-lived as you begin the long process of recovery. Get a glimpse into the world of the Narcissist as you witness the crazy machinations of one man who tried so hard to be good, when his good just wasn't enough.
