• Couples do many things to make their marriages work—they don't wake up one morning and divorce their husband or wife—you have to realize that there is only so much a person can try to make a relationship work.
• My hope and deepest desire with this book is for it to serve as the foundation for getting your life back. Although it might not be the life you envisioned initially, I assure you, you will have a good life on your road to recovery.
• Together, we'll walk through what it means to live with a narcissist. Beyond that, what it means to survive during and after that relationship.
• We will examine narcissism in detail and determine what kind of narcissist your partner is. We will explore how your relationship got this far and why you allowed yourself to be pulled and dragged along on a journey littered with heartbreak and broken promises. You were probably love-bombed, and someone has taken advantage of your kindness.
• We will also look at how your narcissistic partner controls you. For example, we will examine control tactics such as projection, defining your reality, badgering, infantilizing, and going nuclear. Finally, we will investigate how emotional abuse affects your health and causes anxiety, depression, insomnia, self-destructive habits, and a profound sense of isolation.
• And I pray that you get from where you are and move forward in a healthier direction.
• We will dive deep into your options with a narcissist and what you should expect and not expect. For example, you cannot expect fairness. Keeping calm is essential. Ultimately, we will cover strategies to safeguard your heart.
