Book excerpt: Most people do not realize they are in a narcissistic relationship only to find out that everything they thought about their relationship is really a lie. The hardest thing is to look over your life whether it was a long-term relationship or a short-lived relationship and to find out that the person you thought cared did not have the capacity to do so because of a personality disorder.

It hurts to find out that you were only an object/tool to accomplish their own personal goals until you were depleted of the resources needed for their personal gain. This book allows you to take a look at seeds planted throughout life and the thought process that has led so many people into this type of abusive relationship. This book is an honest look at real experiences, the emotional damage and the reality of the lack of awareness within our society of how these individuals operate and leave a trail of destruction everywhere they go.

The world-renowned therapist and author of the groundbreaking self-help classic, The Emotionally Abused Woman, delves into one of the most destructive and powerful weapons of the abuser: shame. And reveals its most powerful antidote . . . Does your partner humiliate you, especially in front of others? Is your partner impossible to please? Are you convinced something is wrong with you?

Book excerpt: *Get the paperback of this book and receive the Kindle ebook for free* What is the line between emotional abuse and normal human behavior? And who gets the right to draw that line? Are you feeling depressed and anxious because your mental health simply isn't doing well right now? Or is it a direct response to the emotional trauma that is being caused by an unhealthy relationship? These are all difficult questions to answer, and I understand how hard it can be to diagnose emotional abuse from the inside of a relationship. After having experienced an emotionally difficult relationship myself, I only came to truly realize how damaging it was after I had left the relationship. Why couldn't I see abuse while I was in the relationship? Ever since then, I have seen many friends get very comfortable in relationships that last for years but that I would consider abusive. Why is it that so many people find their way into relationships like this? The answer is because it's nearly impossible to see abuse from the inside. I made it a mission of mine to find out exactly how to diagnose an abusive relationship from inside a relationship, so that anyone going through abuse or trauma can find a way out. Understanding Why It's Difficult to Pin Point Emotional Abuse Abusive behavior can be hard to define or prove and many people think that abuse is an "opinion". I know a couple where the man is emotionally abused by the woman. I have often heard his friends say things like "well if she makes him happy then it's ok", or "if he's ok with it then I guess it's alright." If you were saying these things about your own relationship you might say "yeah, but I don't mind it when he does that" or "but I know she doesn't mean it that way". You are saying these things as if abuse is an opinion-based thing when it really isn't. There is a line that changes things and moves behavior over into the abuse category and you do not get to determine where that line is. Abuse is not an opinion. This book will show you when behavior turns into abuse The good news about abuse not being an opinion is that there is a line to be drawn, all you have to do is find that line - and that's where I come in. This book includes: Exact defnitions on the different kinds of emotional abuse and manipulation tactics used by abusers. If your abuser takes part in these behaviors, the line has been drawn. Quizzes, case studies and examples to help you see your relationship from the outside in. These exercises will help you answer questions as if you were an observer in the relationship helping you see things more clearly. My theory for why good people and good relationshps turn into bad ones and how this can happen to anyone. A roadmap and way to escape. Step by step instructions on how to confront an abuser and plan an escape out of an abusive relationship. Emotional abuse doesn't have to be complicated. If you are questioning your relationship or are reading this book for a friend, you can be sure that it will give you insight and guidance on how to determine if what you're dealing with is normal or cause for concern. Don't stay in the dark questioning and asking your friends for advice. Use this book as a concrete way to answer the question - am I being emotionally abused?
