Showing results by author "Simon Mackenzie" in All Categories

Whenever a soldier slides into his BDUs and shoulders an M16, there is another man looking to take both off. Special Forces is set in the heat of battle, where fear, urgency, and uncertainty lead to unexpected intimacy and release. The seasoned authors here, some of whom have served in the military themselves, do not shy away from the hard realities of the fight. They know how anger and terror can fuel desire and attraction.

Gaslighting is an insidious form of manipulation and emotional abuse that is difficult to recognize and even more difficult to release. The effects that can result from a (short or long) relationship with a narcissist can be devastating for the person who suffers them. Right now you need someone who has already experienced your same symptoms, the same experience, the same anxieties and fears, but also someone who, like me, has managed to recover and find himself, finding the right strengths and methods to get out from this bad situation.
