Pathological narcissists make up a far greater percentage of the population than people realize and leave those in their wake questioning . . .

"How do I get others to understand what the narcissist does to me?"

"Aren't there any resources out there to share with my friends and family?"

"How do I protect myself from the lies they spread about me?"

"How do I survive?"

"How do I get out?"

"How do I heal?"

"How do I move forward?"

"How do I avoid narcissists in the future?
