My daughter has been stalked and abused by a man that is a horrific narcissist. Restraining orders and arrests don’t seem to stop this guy. He terrifies all of us, especially her children. This has been going on for almost 6 years! He thinks he is Gods gift to the world. Dr Phil, thank you SO much for the clarity. Bless your heart ❤️

Love this, Dr. Phil. I was married to a narcissist for 17 years, I wish I would have had this information much sooner. Being free from this person is like being able to finally breathe again. So excited for the rest of my life!
