Escaping the Narcissistic Nest

Set Boundaries and Regain Self-Worth (Healing After Narcissism, Book 3)

De: Riley Ellis

Narrado por: Riley Ellis

Part therapy. Part stand-up comedy. Part “did she really just say that?”

If you grew up with a narcissistic parent, you already know the rules: confusion disguised as love, chaos labeled “family,” and guilt served with every boundary.

Escaping the Narcissistic Nest: Your Flight Path to Self-Worth is a candid, darkly funny survival guide for anyone raised in a narcissistic family system—especially golden children, scapegoats, and the people who somehow became both.

Written by two survivors who lived it (and then accidentally married it… twice), this book pulls back the curtain on narcissistic manipulation with brutal honesty, sharp insight, and humor so biting it might qualify as a coping mechanism.

You’ll laugh. You’ll wince. You’ll probably say, “Wait—my family did that too.”

Along the way, Riley blends personal stories, research-backed insights, and irreverent truth-telling—including:

Golden child burnout and scapegoat survival

Toxic relationships that feel familiar for all the wrong reasons

Emotional healing journeys that are far less Instagram-worthy than promised (spiritual enlightenment is messy)

This isn't a memoir. It's a guide to healing.

This book will help you:

Recognize narcissistic patterns without gaslighting yourself

Understand family roles like golden child, scapegoat, and lost child

Set boundaries that don’t immediately collapse under guilt

Reclaim your identity, autonomy, and sanity

Begin healing without pretending it’s pretty or linear

If family gatherings feel like emotional war zones…

If you’ve been told you’re “too sensitive,” “ungrateful,” or “the problem”…

If walking away filled you with guilt instead of peace…

You’re not broken.

You were raised in a broken system.
