About this title

Synopsis

"Kristen Milstead provides a social psychological analysis of narcissistic abuse using the empathetic voice of a survivor. Survivors who read this book will be able to trust the "lightbulb" moments this rare perspective offers." -Bree Bonchay, LCSW, founder of World Narcissistic Abuse Awareness Day (WNAAD)

Book description:

More than 60 million people have been in a pathological love relationship with someone who has an impaired conscience. Are you one of them?

Do you feel fiercely loyal toward your partner although your partner has put you through unspeakable acts of cruelty and betrayal?

Has your partner lied so much that sometimes you aren't sure you know what's real or who your partner really is?

Have you tried to break off the relationship yet feel powerless to stop your partner from walking in and out of your life?

Do you alternate between believing that your partner is the love of your life and questioning your sanity or even feeling your life may be in danger?

Using the stories of survivors and social psychological research on compliance, cognitive dissonance, and thought control, Why Can't I Just Leave? explains how relationships with pathological partners can create impossible dilemmas that trap you in a distorted dream-state and hijack your thoughts and emotions.

Learn what those who are conscience-impaired don't want you to know and find out how to wake up and walk out of your partner's invisible prison forever.

Foreword by Sandra L. Brown, M.A., author of Women Who Love Psychopaths
