Bio

Having been in a number of relationships with narcissistic people, Jeannette has learned how to quickly recognize and protect herself from the harmful interactions. It took many years, and God's intervention, but she can now see how having lived this life allows her to help others who may be facing the same struggles. 

Jeannette's relationships with narcissists included men and women friends, employers, a parent, a stepparent, siblings, and several romantic partners. She has come to learn that the behavior patterns that are used to survive a narcissistic relationship can actually attract other narcissists. It was a vicious cycle until she finally realized what she was dealing with and was able to make healthy changes that resulted in the removal of all narcissists from her daily life. She still has occasional interactions with narcissistic family members, and an old friend will contact her once in a while, but Jeannette has learned how to set firm boundaries that protect her from the pain and devastation that can come from interactions with a narcissist.

Website Purpose

You can comfort someone who's been in a tragedy but, unless you have experienced something similar, you can't really know how they feel or what they need. Having lived through her own experiences with narcissists, sometimes just barely, Jeannette fully understands the craziness of it. She also understands how difficult it can be to try and understand it, let alone explain it to others. She hopes to help those who may be in a similar situation, if only by giving them a place they can go where someone knows, and believes, what they are going through.

There are many subtle, and some not so subtle, ways that narcissists manipulate and control. This website is a resource for those wondering why their life seems so crazy. No matter what you try, or how many self-help books you read, do you still feel like you will never be good enough? Do you feel afraid to have your own opinion with certain people? Do your romances start out intense but, as soon as you become attached, your partner quickly becomes cold and uncaring? If you can answer yes to any of those questions, then this website is for you

Website Beginnings

Jeannette had been wanting to share her knowledge and background of dealing with narcissists and decided to write a story depicting a romantic relationship with a narcissist, Twisted Romance. As she finished the story, she learned that to get a book published one needs a website and social media sites. At first, wondering what she could put on her website besides a link to the story, Jeannette was stumped. Then she realized it would be the perfect opportunity to go into more depth on the reality of living with, or working with, a narcissist. Her hope is that this website will continue to grow and develop depending on the needs and feedback of visitors.
