You didn't land here by accident.
Maybe you've been Googling at 2 a.m., trying to understand why the person who says they love you can also make you feel small, confused, or invisible. Maybe you've replayed conversations in your head, wondering how every disagreement somehow became your fault. Maybe you've even asked yourself the question you're almost afraid to say out loud:
Is it me?
In Nic & the Narc , Nicole invites you into the raw, unfiltered reality of a long-term marriage to a covert narcissist, not from the perspective of a therapist or expert, but from someone living it in real time. Through candid journal-style storytelling, she exposes the patterns many survivors recognize but struggle to name: love bombing, gaslighting, silent treatments, financial control, and the exhausting push-pull cycle that keeps you questioning your own reality.
This is not a clinical manual.
It's recognition.
From the first flickers of doubt to the painful clarity of awareness, Nicole walks through the chaos, the guilt, the attachment, and the complicated truth that leaving isn't always simple — especially when children, finances, and hope are involved. With honesty, humor, and vulnerability, she gives language to the experiences so many endure silently.
If you have ever felt like you were losing yourself while trying to save your relationship…
If you've stayed longer than you thought you would…
If you're still in the "in-between" of knowing and not knowing…
You are not crazy.
You are not imagining it.
And you are not alone.
This book doesn't tell you what you have to do.
It helps you understand what you're living through and reminds you that healing, clarity, and peace are possible.
