I would like to add Freeing
Sat, 10/17/2009 - 08:20 — better offI would like to add Freeing Yourself From The Narcissist In Your Life by Linda Martinez-Lewi. That book really helped me a lot. I would recommend it to anyone who was dealing with a "high-level" narcissist, as in someone who's wealthy, powerful, famous,etc. Which could be a boss as well as a mate.
Recommended Reading for ALL VICTIMS
