Book Overview

Are you a person finding yourself searching through narcissism and abuse self-help books because you are at the end of your rope, in need of advice and perspectives from others? Are you in search of people who are either formally trained on the subject of narcissism and abuse, or people who are now (or have been in the past) in your shoes... who have dealt with the trials and tribulations of actually being married to a narcissistic spouse? Note: If you are in a physically abusive situation, this book is not really intended for you. We cannot recommend staying in a physically abusive relationship. That said... This 5 author book shares the experiences of real people who are now or have previously been in your situation. Some of what is covered in Disarming the Narcissist: How to Stay Married to a Narcissistic Partner and Still Be (Reasonably) Happy: What is narcissism What is a narcissistic person like What is narcissistic behavior What is a toxic relationship What is co-dependency Coping with narcissism as it pertains to a spouse How to stay married to a narcissistic spouse This group of authors - all women - managed to find ways to be relatively happy in their relationships (or at least have found useful narcissism coping mechanisms until such time as it felt right to leave) and are here to offer you advice on how to disarm your narcissistic husband or partner.

Other topics of this book are: * Selfishness * Manipulation * Jealousy * Communication * Support * Finding yourself * Financial considerations * What if there are children * How to prepare to leave (if applicable) * and much, much more!
