Synopsis

Are you in a relationship or dynamic that can best be described as an emotional rollercoaster, toxic, draining, crazy-making, or confusing?
Have you ever wondered why they seem to never change, no matter how much you are willing to do for them, or how much love, understanding, rehab, religion, therapy, second (or twenty-second) chances you've given them?
Do you feel as though if you tried harder you could eventually earn their love, respect, loyalty, honesty, or the right to be treated with dignity and respect?
If so, you are not alone, and this book is a great place to start.
This book covers:
- The most common terms and definitions surrounding narcissistic abuse (including examples), such as "flying monkeys," "hoovering," "love bombing," "trauma bonding," "C-PTSD," "reactive abuse," and much more.
- The cycle of narcissistic abuse, and what it really looks like in motion.
- Frequently asked questions about narcissistic abuse, such as:
What is the difference between a selfish jerk and a narcissist?How do I know for sure if they are a narcissist?Can a narcissist change?Why do I miss them?How can I stop attracting narcissists?How do I handle all this intense anger I have towards them?
- A section on strategies to help you to move forward into healing.
And much, much more.

This is a non-fiction art book, and I, the long-suffering wanna-be stick-figure artist, thought I should try working with this one.
