A must read for all those hurt, confused, lonely, angry or just feeling plain lost being around someone suffering from BPD/NPD. It describes how to get out of destructive interactions with the Borderline or Narcissist and how to take new, more effective actions to focus on personal wants. Sadly such people are terribly ill and this book is all about not allowing your life to be defined by the volatile outbursts that form part of this devastating illness. Yet the book also fosters understanding of the deep feelings of emptiness, inabiiity to regulate emotions, thought instability, low self esteem - even suicidal thoughts - and dissociation fantasies experienced by sufferers of BPD/NPD. Yes, the author’s primary empathy is directed towards the caregiver since such individuals are her target readership. Have you ever felt like you’re going crazy in a close personal relationship on account of your kindness, care and vulnerability being weaponised against you in unpredictable torrents of abuse being directed against you by the person who appears to have the emotional maturity of a toddler? Their perfectionist dissection of your faults hurled at you from behind a wall of anger that repels any right of reply? If so, then my sincere wish is you will feel as I did reading this book, with wells of hope rising drinking in the truths dripping from every page of this deeply insightful, yet empathic book.
