You are not alone.
The author, a fellow survivor of a narcissistic mother, walks with you on this journey of discovery and healing. She offers empathy, support, and practical strategies to help you reclaim your life. This book is your roadmap to breaking free from the cycle of emotional manipulation and guilt.

- Defuse the drama in your interactions
