Dear Younger Me, Victim To Victor: A Memoir (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781987560411)

Dear Younger Me, victim to Victor is not simply a Memoir, but a "How does this happen?" "Why does this happen?" "How did I get here? "answer book. The imagery and stories unknowingly grow long tentacles, holding your attention deep into the night. Insight paired with escape advice finalizes Victoria's remarkable prose with a purpose. For over three decades, Victoria King lived life in her husband's Narcissist Amusement Park, riding her Carnie's rollercoaster of abuse and enduring his daily choices of torment, producing the heartstopping startle of Whac-A-Mole games at a state fair's midway. Like peeling cotton candy from your face, living with an abuser is sticky and messy. Each encounter made Victoria feel she needed a shower to wash off her abuser's slimy control residue. Her husband offered an array of mental, emotional, physical, sexual and spiritual abuse, like cheap blueplate specials that sound good from the menu but taste foul. Denials of his behavior saw him deceiving professional counselors by promoting the idea the problems were hers, not his, ideas too often swallowed. At church, her abuser parlayed "apologies, repentance and forgiveness" to con na ve leaders and congregants alike. It took Victoria a long, painful time to discover her brokenness wasn't the same as his sickness, but she eventually escaped her Sociopath Narcissist's control. But jumping from her Carnie's Merry-Go-Round brought retaliation from her abuser, as he used cruel, calculated parental alienation tactics to break the bonds with her children. In sections called Dear Younger Me, Victoria offers up sage counsel, in case you too are riding a Narcissist's rollercoaster. Reviews: "This is the closest I hope I'll ever have to be, to knowing and living with that level of evil." -- Krystal S. "There is a freedom in telling an untold story hidden inside you. Only a deep sense of obligation to those who hurt could motivate the author, so it doesn't happen again. I salute her bravery." -- J.D. "I am quite impressed at the way you write so beautifully. Very informative, intellectual, engaging, forthright, truthful, encouraging and gut wrenching." Kristy T. "The bestselling book Crazy Love seems like Abuse 101 in comparison. Dear Younger Me, Victim to Victor seats us in the Abuse Master Class, first row." -- Anonymous "This book has been instrumental in helping end some of my confusion regarding my own life circumstances. I started reading and couldn't put the book down. Highly recommend it to anyone struggling, or if you know someone struggling in an unhealthy relationship. Narcissism may be more prevalent than most of us realize."
