I am wondering if there is any good reads in regards to the children of an N parent. My best friend is miserable, but insists if she leaves the children would be worse off. I know when they fight the two teenage boys cling to him and agree with everything he says because they are fearful of how he might punish them. Not physically, but emotionally. He would even sabotage their sports events to show whos boss. The two little ones cling to their mom. She does not work and even home schools.....so he has full control of her and uses the fact she does not work and could never make it without him on her own. He will punish her by taking her keys to car, cell phone and debit card when he is mad at her. Anyway, I guess I have not found much info in regards to women with kids and 100% financially bound to the N. THEN add in that his parents also blame her for everything and stand behind their son 100%. PLEASE give advice!!!!!!! Thank you, Tracy PS:I know she is very afraid of the manipulation and mind games her husband will use with the kids, but his proclaimed Christian parents as well. They too are NEVER wrong.

It sounds as though the book is relevant for all of us - as we can learn so much how to approach people in general and obviously with the added aspects of dealing with narcistic and difficult people. Thanks - I shall 'enjoy' reading it and I'm sure learn from it .. I can see a few reviews around - so those will give us extra insights. Well done for a)the book and for coming through your challenges and being at this point - it must make life feel easier .. great to be with you - Hilary Hi Lori and Betsy .. just asked for the download – so I’m sure it’ll be here shortly.

It's been healing, empowering, and inspirational. Yes, who knew from the pain of the past, we could so help so many others? Hi Cyndi, Thank you for your feedback and support. What you say of SV is true. But, it was his writings that helped me finally leave my narcissists, so the symmetry of using one narcissist against another makes a certain ironic sense to me. Plus, I don't want to let a narcissist control me "in reverse" either. Hi Betsy,

The information contained in it is excellent and I appreciate your providing it free of charge. I hope it helps a lot of people. I have to admit I was surprised to see multiple links back to Sam Vak nin. He is a controversial source, being a narcissist himself. When I first found him I got sucked in, just as he intends. What I have discovered is that he is really just creating more and more "followers" to buy his book with all that he posts online and every link back to him provides him with narcissistic supply in the form of attention, page rank, and book sales.
