Book which made me feel sure in my thoughts

I am 30 now and went out of my highly abusive father when I was 22. however I went back many times and each time I was receiving only critics, from a never worked, highly abusive father with grandiose ego. I never received any care but just harm from the flying monkey, the golden child and the narcisist father. However I received care and love from my grandparents. The brainwash of my brother continues by today and is still ongoing. I am happy to escape, but will try to make this book a gift to my brother who will not want to read it. Thank you for the story, now I don't feel alone! and I am sure in my actions of separation.

A Great Book!

My father was very verbally abusive in private. And the ideal father when others were around. People thought I was lying. Unfortunately, this created an opening for a family friend to molest me when I was a child. I am now in my 50's and able to deal with these emotions. And see my father for the flawed man that he was.

good book for beginners

I was subjected to a neglectful narc father. Reappear, disappear, etc. I was more like his cousin. Except for when I passed my bar exam. Then I was the daughter. Threw me an expensive party, then disappeared.

it was an awesome book

This book explains so much about my childhood, especially the idea of the narcissistic father pitting his daughter against the mother. I've only begun to properly rebuild my relationship with my mother since moving out. Since they've got divorced, I and my mum found out about narcissism and we're both helping each other heal from over 20 years of this bullshit. I idolized my dad as a kid and when he and my mum split for the first time I was about 10. He manipulated me, made out like the split was my mum's fault, and literally said things like "she doesn't want us to be a family anymore" when he left her. (I didn't know this until years later) I'm now having to deal with a lot of guilt and self resentment that it was my fault my mum took him back when she could have been free of him years ago. She said it wasn't, that she was the adult and chose it, but I can't help feeling that if I wasn't around, she wouldn't have suffered as much for so long. In the end, he became violent. He doesn't speak to me much now, because I've refused to feed his ego. I've refused to be the person that deals with his emotional baggage. I'm no longer of value. jeez.

Interesting information audio-book.

I so agree! Kids (even as adults) over glorifying their father, even if it means twisting facts to make him look better.

Informative Audio-Book.

interesting book, but I believe in many cases the border is fluent. what if the mother is a bitch that actually drives her husband down? it doesn't make the father narcissistic, it just means she is a psycho 🙂

Insightful information audiobook.
