They destroy and damage everything that others have because of their constant envy. They want to always be on top, and they don't care who they step on to get there.

This is not a satire, but it takes a satirical approach to shedding light upon a very dark subject: narcissistic abuse. It is intended to demonstrate to those struggling with codependency just how narcissists actually view them. By listening to their "play book", codependents should be able to recognize covert abuse and avoid its pernicious effects.

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.

In today's social media and selfie-obsessed culture, we are living in an age of narcissism - and a society that often celebrates this potentially harmful trait rather than understanding it as a psychological disorder. Scientists are beginning to learn that narcissism exists on a spectrum - much like autism - and most of us exhibit some mild narcissistic tendencies.

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.

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...

These are the manipulative tactics survivors of malignant narcissists are unfortunately all too familiar with. As victims of silent crimes where the perpetrators are rarely held accountable, survivors of narcissistic abuse have lived in a war zone of epic proportions, enduring an abuse cycle of love-bombing and devaluation - psychological violence on steroids.

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.

Editorial Reviews
"Narcissism - the relationship issue of our times." In Help! I’m in Love With a Narcissist, narrated with tender concern and in a helpful and plainspoken way by Steven Menasche, the listener who loves someone who love themselves more is cordially counseled on the different ways to build a workable, long-term relationship with such significant others obsessed with their own self.
Several different narcissistic relationship scenarios are told and discussed, ultimately leading to this self-help audiobook’s viewpoint that the road to loving a narcissist isn’t easy, but it’s navigable. Written by the best-selling authors of Men Who Can’t Love.
Publisher's Summary
Written with the compassionate language that people have come to rely upon and expect from these proven relationship experts, this book goes beyond an explanation of the condition to help men and women avoid the self-destructive permanence of remaining with people incapable of loving anyone but themselves.

You will find some healing with this book.
This is one of several very useful books when coming to terms with having had a narcissistic relationship. I highly recommend this book as it did provide some useful information that I did not find elsewhere.
After having such a profound and traumatic experience, don't limit yourself to one book. Buy this one and a few others so that you can get golden nuggets from each of them.

The hard truth...you got to hear.
I enjoyed this book very much so. This is a time in my life when leaving my extremely toxic narcissist boyfriend is a must. My brain has known for so long but my heart refuses to let go. This book hopefully will help me go get the professional help that I need in order to finally just walk away. I would have listened to the whole book in one setting but I couldn't. I have been very excited to listen to more stories each time I pressed play. My story wasn't in there until ch. 14. Anyone who is in Love with these monsters, is bound to hear their own story and it's very eye opening. Thank you for your stories and life changing suggestions!!

Must listen if you are with a narcissist
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes if my friend is dealing with a narcissist. It is written in plain English with lots of relate able examples.
Have you listened to any of Steven Menasche’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I haven't listen to any of Steven Manasche's before. His performance for this book is excellent.
What insight do you think you’ll apply from Help! I’m in Love with a Narcissist?
I am more aware of what Narcissist does and can control my emotions and reactions much better.
Any additional comments?
I think it's one of the best book on narcissism. I thoroughly enjoy listening to it.

A must read for every mother and a daughter
Where does Help! I’m in Love with a Narcissist rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
These questions are not really applicable to what I would like to say, thus I will ignore them.
My husband has recently been diagnosed with NPD.
This booked both shocked and scared me.
Shocked - because it is as if it was written about and partly by my husband, who could be the textbook examples of how Narcissistic think and act and what dramas they cause.
It scared me - because, it undermined my understanding of the idea, that people are able to make rational decisions and choices in their behaviours.
It is as if Narcissists emotional responses were limited to a set number or pre programmed reactions, none of which are rational,
This book spells hard but honest truth about Narcissists and the nature of their disorder, and it should be the Must Read for every mother to be and every teenage son or daughter, prior to their first relationship.
