Over 7 years ago, I escaped a narcissistic relationship with my newborn son. The moment of escape wasn’t planned — it happened in the middle of the day, filled with fear, uncertainty, and a rush of adrenaline. I didn’t have it all figured out, and I didn’t need to. With our best friend Nicki and her family on the phone, guiding me through the escape, the police department, the hiding, and the slow process of rising again, I took that first brave step. Once I did, the path forward slowly began to appear. I had questions, doubts, and fears, and I wish someone had handed me a roadmap. This guide is that roadmap — born from my own experiences, the lessons I learned, and the research I’ve gathered along the way.
Inside, you’ll find: • Step-by-step guidance to safely navigate and escape narcissistic abuse • Practical healing strategies to restore your emotional and mental well-being • Ways to reclaim your confidence and independence while rebuilding your life • Real-world examples and insights from my journey as a survivor and mother • Empowering exercises to help you set boundaries, process your emotions, and move forward
I wrote this guide for anyone who feels trapped, scared, or unsure where to turn. You don’t have to have it all figured out — taking that first step is what matters. Healing is a lifetime path, and I hope you find something in these pages that will help you or someone you love.
