they don’t respect me they can fuck off.
    Now instead of being stuck in hell, my days are filled with happiness from two goofy dogs, two (to three) crazy kids, and one man that makes everything better when he walks through the door. I don’t know what the future will bring. I don’t know—but I have faith. Because despite all my issues, I trust the man I love. I feel safe and cared for. I recognize that these demons are mine to face…but it’s nice that he’s here to hold me while I do. I know he’ll never lie to me, hurt me, break me down, or play with my emotions. There may be a chance one day he’ll break my heart, but that’s a risk I’m willing to take because he’s completely worth it.
    And after everything, isn’t that all that really matters? To be able to pick yourself up from your lowest low and start life anew?
    I think so.
     
    THE END

All relationships are different. Only some are toxic.
    If you suspect you’re in a relationship with a narcissist—or have one in your life—beware.
    Warning signs of a narcissist:
    1)      They seem to have different personalities. Real people have moods, sure—but actual different personalities for different situations? No.
    2)      Nothing is ever their fault. They never take the blame for their actions (in their eyes they do no wrong) and they never apologize.
    3)      They put you down or place blame on you.
    4)      They make you unsure of your thoughts or memories.
     
    You’re not crazy. I promise you. There’s help available. Save yourself <3

 
    I’ve written many books and all of them are dear to me in some form or another. This book however, is personal.
    While this is a work of fiction, certain parts are based on real life events.
    Events I lived through.
    Circumstances I survived.
    The purpose of this work is to spread awareness. Narcissistic Victims Syndrome is real, it’s abusive, and it’s incredibly harmful.

    Certain books today romanticize a controlling relationship. There’s nothing wrong with this, as long as the reader recognizes that it’s fiction. In reality, there’s nothing romantic about someone who wants to control every facet of your life. If someone loves you, they should love all of you, not what they try to make you into. Don’t let fiction cloud your reality—I beg you. Don’t confuse passion for caring.
    Never let another individual break you down. Don’t allow their negativity to get to you. Be cautious of your relationships and who you give your trust to. Don’t allow someone’s glamourous nature to shroud their true colors.
    And always—ALWAYS—trust your gut. <3

Usually this is the part where authors thank people for their contributions…
    I’m going to do this a little differently, so bear with me—and pardon the vulgarity. In fact, if you don’t like cursing, please skip the rest of this—as it’s chock full.
    I’ll try to remember to be thankful as I go… (That’s sarcasm, in case you missed it.)
     
    Where to begin??
    To the cuntastical fuckwad who called me a coward: It’s ironic. See—in my experience, anyway—people insult others with their own inner demons. For instance, calling me a coward when you got knocked up by a drug dealer, claimed it was your husband’s, and then had his insurance pay for the abortion? That’s something cowardly in my book. But I’m not all into judging people. You know, like others are…
    To the nasty girl who called me disgusting: Again, funny—because to me it’s way more gross to let your BFF’s husband fingerbang you in their kitchen at a Christmas party—in front of the kids and everything. Then cheat on your man with him . Yeah…have fun with that.
    To my one time friend: Fuck you. Talking all that shit? I remember when you had three guys fucking you at once, making you (their words, not
