Do you suspect that your partner is a narcissist? YOUR STORY is my story!

Let me draw for you a portrait of a narcissistic monster. In the beginning, narcissistic partners are usually very captivating. They seem to be the men with this “big,” strong personality. They shine. They’re charming, and they can easily make you feel special, adored, and super attractive.

So, where’s the hook?

With time, you discover the truth. Just like I did.
With time, your partner - the one who was supposed to be THE ONE - turns out to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

People with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) are horrible partners.

They act as if they are always right and their partner is wrong or incompetent.
They’re extremely concentrated on themselves, and they require a lot of attention and appreciation.
They will perceive their partner as a source of satisfying their own needs.
Highly critical of others but hypersensitive to the slightest form of criticism or rejection.
They have trouble with really loving someone because they don’t love themselves.

How does it feel for a woman to be with a narcissistic man?

Narcissist’s moods swing wildly, from smothering you with love to hurling insults.
He will provide you with a daily, emotionally draining rollercoaster.
Narcissist’s ideal prey is a person who is self-sacrificing; one who suppresses their needs, who do not openly and assertively express them.
With time, a narcissist will successively create a relationship based on toxic emotional codependency.

This book will help you understand mental abuse techniques (like gaslighting, projection, and others) that are traits of narcissistic personality disorder. It will describe what a narcissistic person is like, the signs of mental abuse, and much more.

I know all about loving a narcissistic man because I went through it. This book tells the story of my relationship (and my divorce) with my narcissistic husband.

I understand how difficult it is to come to terms with being in a toxic relationship. How heartbreaking it feels when someone you thought you would grow old with turned out to be extremely selfish, manipulative, devoid of empathy, and jealous.

Just like you, I experienced being in a relationship in which you feel inferior, criticized, manipulated, and lonely, but you can’t find the strength to draw back and stand for yourself. You blame yourself and begin to lose trust in your own judgments.

In this book, you will discover the following about toxic relationships:

How the charming narcissist can fool you into believing you’ve found your ideal partner;
The warning signs of an emotionally abusive man;
The typical way that narcissistic personality disorder manifests;
How to plan to break up with a narcissistic partner;
What to do if you’re divorcing a toxic husband.

“It was a real eye-opener and I pray that people will read this book and spot the narc before they get involved." Goodreads

“The honesty of this book takes you in the right from the start." - Goodreads

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO NEED for you to keep living a life of an emotionally abused woman.

You don’t have to suffer in silence or shame anymore.

I truly believe my story can guide you on how to free yourself from this toxic codependency.

Don’t spend another moment suffering from narcissistic abuse -it’s not worth it.

A narcissist-free life is a life filled with peace of mind, self-love, assertiveness, and self-trust. It’s a life worth fighting for!

From the Author

Dear Reader,
After having personally suffered from narcissistic abuse, writing this book was a passionate and healing project for me. In addition, part of that passion is helping others who may be suffering from the same trauma.
I thought of you feeling like you're going crazy, suffering from the shaming and guilt trips your toxic partner puts you through, and feeling trapped in a loveless, emotionally abusive relationship as I wrote these books.
I wrote My Toxic Husbandand a FREE YOURSELF (trauma and recovery workbook for women) to help you find the answers you're seeking and the clarity you deserve.
If you're reading these books, I'm sure it's because you're suffering in an emotionally abusive relationship, or you may have just gotten out of one and are feeling lost and confused. You might be thinking you're to blame for what happened, and it's quite likely your loved one told you just that, whether directly or in more subtle, manipulative ways.
You might feel as though you've lost contact with reality, you might doubt yourself and what you thought you knew to be true, and you might even have suffered physical ailments as a result of the abuse you endured. You might also feel as though your inner light is less bright as a result. However, that light still shines, and part of my desire is to help you bring it back to that glowing brilliance that brightens everyone around you.
To do that, you first have to face some confusing and painful memories with bravery. It's probably true that your narcissistic abuser was well-liked, perhaps even revered in their profession or admired as a guru or therapist. To others who aren't as close as an intimate partner, they will likely appear successful, sincere, and charming. However, you know the truth.
I know what it is like to feel what you're going through now. I was deeply in love with my narcissistic abuser, and I felt the pain of the sudden personality shift that happened as he revealed his true nature to me. I felt my life, energy, self-esteem, and self-confidence all draining away, leaving only an exhausted husk of a person behind. Pathological narcissism is a confusing, crazy, and disturbing mental condition to deal with, and if you've been in an intimate relationship with someone who suffers from this, you've been the recipient of the full force of their abusive behavior.
I escaped my abuser, but the experience left me confused, angry, and traumatized. As part of my recovery process, I began to learn everything I could about this insidious condition. I even earned a degree in psychology so I could understand all the others. I also decided to write a book about my experience, so I could help other people who are going through the same thing. In fact, I decided to write two books: one on my experiences in a toxic relationship, and then a workbook to help with the recovery process.
In preparation for these books, I did extensive research into the topic, so what I am telling you would be accurate, comprehensive, and helpful for your recovery process. You've been mistreated enough. I want to give you the truth, so you can find your way back to your inner shining beacon of light and love.
During my research, I began to realize that there were many people who had experienced this kind of relationship. I know when I was going through it, I felt incredibly isolated--and you likely do too--but we are not alone. There are many others out there who are finding the courage to free themselves from abusive relationships and tell their stories so others can benefit. For me, it is humbling to see how brave they are.
In these books, I first explain the traits of narcissism and tell you honestly how they manifested in my own relationship. I take you through my story and how I escaped the nightmare of narcissistic abuse. In my second book, I take you through various techniques to help you heal from the emotional--and maybe physical--abuse you've suffered at the hands of your toxic partner.
It is my deepest desire in sharing these experiences and recovery techniques with you that they will help you to heal the wounds so that you can once again hope and dream about finding your perfect life.
This is my wish for you--that you might find the answers you seek in these pages as well as the inspiration to break free and find peace. I understand that you might not feel as though that is possible right now, but I assure you, it is. I, and many others who have gone through this, walk beside you in spirit as you find your way back to that luminous being you once were.
With sincere peace and love,
Elena Miro

A powerful, important book...

Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2020

Verified Purchase

Bought this book as research for a fictional character in one of my novels, and I got a lot more than I bargained for. What a powerful, important book. Wow. Miro recounts her experiences with the emotionally abusive man whom she unfortunately married. Of course he was the sweet, romantic dream guy when she met him: French, physically fit, successful, caring, passionate. However, the more she got to know him, the more evident it became that his introductory personality was a mirage. The guy was actually a narcissistic psychopath whose life view centered completely around himself. He felt no empathy for the cares or concerns of others, especially her. Everything was her fault. What makes his aberrant behavior so fascinating is that everyone has known someone like him, or probably still do. I know I did once (a former boss), and I removed this person from my life and never once regretted it. Not for a single second.

I believe the most important part of the book, and the part which merits a 5-star review, is the section in which Miro details a step-by-step plan to leave your abusive, narcissistic partner. She gives great advice I wouldn’t have thought of, such as erasing the browsing history on all devices and removing the tracking feature from them as well. Leaving someone you once loved is never easy and shouldn’t be done without a concisely detailed plan of action. I can’t even fathom how important her advice would be for someone actually stuck in this situation.

My only grip with the book is that it feels a little short, almost like an extra-long magazine article. There are also places in which the book reads like an elaborate hate letter to her ex, but I imagine this would be unavoidable. His abuse and the trauma he caused her were profound. The book is also a lot more clinical in places than I expected. Who knew there were so many different types of narcissists, not all of them bad? It almost feels as though everyone in the world is a narcissist to some degree. However, these are very minor nitpicks, and this is an incredibly helpful book in dealing with an incredibly damaging person. I only hope this book isn’t you

Very authentic and helpful!

Loved the book! Elena's passion for helping others recover from narcissistic abuse shines on every page!

I really enjoyed the format and how the book was written- the language is simple yet the content is very deep.

Elena combines her own stories and experiences with authoritative research based on science and psychology. Such a format makes learning (and recovery) very enjoyable.

While I think some readers still might need a professional therapist to fully recover (and Elena states that too, she herself worked with a therapist), this book might give you a great start, especially if you're feeling confused. You can help yourself and you can start a new chapter in your life!

Now this book is very niche, it's written specifically for women recovering from a marriage/relationship with a narcissist. But I still think it may be helpful for people recovering from any type of narcissistic abuse, be it in their family, work or business.

Personally, I was a victim of narcissistic abuse in a professional relationship, which cost me lots of money, time, health, and reputation. It took me 6 months to realize this, and it was only because I connected with another victim who opened my eyes to what was truly happening!

This book gave me even more insights into how NPD works and how to protect myself from such individuals, especially if you're an empath.

Overall, great book, I read it in one sitting. The author is a great storyteller and a smart, educated, professional woman with a passion for helping others. I'll be checking more of her work for sure. Very eye-opening! Would give it 10 stars if I could,.

I bought this book because the title brought back memories of my English Literature teacher who introduced us to one of Joseph Conrad's book about Narcissus. I read it in a few hours. The book is really two books in one...The author's account of her horrifying experience with a narcissistic husband AND detailed information on how to identify a narcissistic abuser.
The author spares no punches and tells all. She begins by giving examples of different forms of narcissism and shocked me with the wealth of information and left me reflecting on my actions in the past. The common narcissistic manipulations were eye-opening. My friend who suffered from an abusive partner would have been spared years of terrible abuse had she been privy to this information or I, to have warned her.
The detailed account of the relationship and the red flags she ignored are highlighted. It is commendable that the author has come forward to help other victims. She states, "I was totally in love with this man. He seemed so great in every way. At this point, you might be wondering how it is that a narcissist- someone suffering from a mental disorder can seem that great in the early stages of a relationship."
The author sets out the step by step approach she took to escape the relationship. These steps are well thought out and worked for her. I have every reason to believe they will work in a similar situation. They are textbook solid. The author continues to tell it as it is and outlines the inner fight not to go back on her decision. She advises, "Write down the bad things you experienced in your relationship so you have a solid reminder of why you needed to leave.."
This is a good book, well-written. I commend the author and recommend it to everyone but especially to those who may be in an abusive relationship.
There is hope.

This was am interesting tale of a narcissistic relatiinship, especially for anyone who has had first hand of being in a similar situation with a narcissistic partner. I like her direct style of speaking and clearly she has learned a lot in becoming a psychologist herself. Helpful for anyone trapped in a relationship like this

It’s a second book from this author that I was reading. I love a lot her style. Usually I don’t write reviews on Amazon. But this book made me do it. The author very good described the stages of toxic relationship with a narcissistic man. Her feeling, emotions are so similar to mine. This book gave me power and insights how to break free and stop the emotional abuse I’m living with for several years. The book helped me to do the important step and to believe that I deserve love and respect.

Must read when having a narcissist partner.

It is amazing how life stories might be similar when dealing with a narcissist. I found it healing to know that there is someone who went through similar 'fairy tale' (not), who felt the same trauma and who found the way to escape and heal. Great support for anyone who has a narcissist partner, who is looking for a support, affirmation in decision to leave and knowledge about the problem. Easy and well written. Great book.
