Picture this: After all the ups and downs of dating, you find someone who immediately gets you, puts their energy into winning you over, bombards you with the kind of attention you’ve always craved, then just as sudden as a car crash, they turn on you. Their mood shifts. Everything is about what you’re not doing right, every comment is meant to guilt or trigger you, communication is like pulling teeth, and just when you find the power to walk away, they shame you into staying. You don’t want to give up on them like everyone else; you want to fix them, prove yourself, and get back to the good times. What you don’t know is that these hot and cold characteristics are the new normal. Narcissists hate you, but they won't let go because they love the strength they draw from your weakness.

You think it’s about you, and what you’re not doing, as opposed to their damage, and try to work it out in all the ways you were taught. You set boundaries, threaten them with ultimatums, and attempt to prove that you're not like the rest, blind to the fact that they will continue to break your heart because you can’t cure narcissism with love. My books have helped over a million women--there's a reason they trend on social media and have led to so many marriages but today I want to share a topic I haven't touched on in my books, turning the tables on these narcissists. I'm going to walk you through the tell-tale signs that you’re dating a narcissist and show you a way to come out on top.
