Powerful Steps and stories that resonated

Until recently I never made a connection with the way that I grew up with one of my parents being a narcissist. As the author shared stories throughout the book, I felt seen and heard. I just thought this was normal and grew up listening to how everything was my fault and how I was the cause of problems. I never really understood that I was being manipulated. Chapter 4 is where I spent a lot of focus as this chapter goes through the crucial steps to begin breaking free from the toxic patterns I have been living in. This chapter offers more than just what the steps are but the author details step by step how to move forward and move beyond the harm that's been shadowing over you. The strategies outlined are actionable and they provide a clear path to leave the past behind you.

The author writes with such compassion and it is clear that they want others to be able to break free from their past, embrace their adult life, and live the way that makes them happy. The author validates the pain and confusion that you felt growing up and helps you rebuild your self-worth and your sense of meaning.

I have already started implementing some of these steps. This is not a subject that you just read a book and you're healed. You need to put in the work in order to move forward but again the author has made that path very simple for you to be able to follow.

This a great resource

The segment of the audiobook that addressed how to improve one's self-esteem and heal yourself was the most valuable for me. However, the audiobook is packed with tons of information that was incredibly helpful. The audio covers the ways in which narcissistic parents exert control over their children and the consequences this has on them. The author is very empathic and show compassion for people who have narcissistic parents and provides sound guidance. I would highly recommend this book!

Informative and Helpful!

There is a lot of information in this audiobook and I found it very helpful. At first, the author goes into detail and describes narcissistic parents and their parenting style is. She then goes on to explain how this impacts the children of narcissistic parents, and it really resonated with me. The author is very empathetic, and the narrator is soothing to listen to. The audiobook then goes on with ways to build yourself back up and how to really improve your sense of self and increase your self-esteem. I found this to be helpful, and I recommend this audiobook.

It was an eye opener for knowing things about narcissistic parent.

"Featherless Fatherless" takes its audience on a journey through the complex and often bewildering mind of a narcissist. In this gripping exploration of self-absorption and grandiosity, the author, presumably drawing from personal experiences, offers readers a raw and unfiltered look into the psyche of a character whose narcissism knows no bounds. The narrative skillfully weaves together the protagonist's relentless pursuit of admiration, lack of empathy, and a pervasive sense of entitlement. The term "featherless fatherless" serves as a poignant metaphor, capturing the essence of an individual who, like a bird without feathers or a child without a father figure, is stripped of essential elements that contribute to emotional and psychological balance. One of the strengths of this portrayal lies in its ability to elicit both fascination and repulsion from the reader. The narcissist's charm, charisma, and magnetic personality draw others into their orbit, creating a sense of allure that is hard to resist. However, as the story unfolds, the darker facets of their personality emerge, leaving a trail of broken relationships and shattered trust in their wake. The character development is a standout aspect of this narrative. The language employed in "Featherless Fatherless" is both evocative and thought-provoking. While the subject matter may be uncomfortable for some, the narrative serves as a powerful mirror, forcing readers to confront their own preconceptions about narcissism and its impact on interpersonal relationships. "Featherless Fatherless" is a thought-provoking exploration of the human condition, challenging readers to look beyond the surface and consider the complex interplay of factors that shape our personalities. The author's ability to navigate the intricacies of narcissistic behavior with sensitivity and depth makes this a must-read for those seeking a profound exploration of human nature and the consequences of unchecked self-absorption.
