If you are feeling this way, my friend, there is a simple explanation. You may be dating or married to a narcissist. Your self-absorbed partner may be gaslighting and manipulating you. He may cycle between love-bombing and distancing himself from you. He seems to be a nice guy to your face sometimes, but then you find out that he is talking bad about you to others. He seems to triangulate you with other women or family members in order to make you jealous and boost his own ego.

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.

People with borderline or narcissistic personality disorders have a serious mental illness that primarily affects their intimate, personal, and family relationships. Often they appear to be normally functioning at work and in public interactions, and narcissists may even be highly effective, in the short term, in some work or social situations. However, in intimate relationships, they can be emotional, aggressive, demeaning, illogical, paranoid, accusing, and controlling - in the extreme.

The relationship duo between borderlines and narcissists tends to be more common than we think. There is no true way to get a good picture of how many relationships span this dynamic, as many borderlines and narcissists go undiagnosed or undetected. Most narcissists don't have the intuition, knowledge of their condition, or interest in their inner world to pursue why they are the way they are. It is unlikely that they would seek treatment because of their overinflated egos...

In the perennial favorite Boundaries, Anne Katherine introduced the concept and importance of personal limits. In Where to Draw the Line, she takes the next step with a practical guide to establishing and maintaining healthy boundaries in a wide range of situations. With every encounter, we either demonstrate that we'll protect what we value, or that we'll give ourselves away. Healthy boundaries preserve our integrity. Unlike defenses, which isolate us from our true selves and from those we love, boundaries filter out harm.

Fastest Way to Spot a Life Wrecker
If you could sum up Boundaries After a Pathological Relationship in three words, what would they be?
I loved the book, it was an eye opener. I'm more aware of what kind of people and why do they disrespect my boundaries after this book. Confusion is gone.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Boundaries After a Pathological Relationship?
It's not me, its the toxic people who are around me.
Have you listened to any of Kitty Hendrix’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

The author is very direct about boundaries, our basic rights and how to create and endorse both. This was written for those coming out of a relationship with an abuser, but I found it helpful as well, and my abusers are my parents.
Highly recommend for those who need quick info and guidance.

Adleyn's book is beautifully written. Everything she talks about makes complete sense. I wish I had read it before I entered a deeply wounding and abusive relationship.
