About this listen

Having known the author for many years, I was given the opportunity to proofread this book and it is so “on the button” to my own situation as to be uncanny. My alienation is comparable, and I suspect may well have many similarities with other alienations.

The alienation process described as well as the characteristics of the alienator has so many reassuring parallels to my own experiences. The author has a complete understanding and explains alienation in simple, powerful terms.

I now understand that however hard I tried to avoid this outcome; it could not have been any different. This was the way it always was going to be.

After alienation happened, guilt, blame and isolation have been my driving emotions and this book gave me the confidence that I no longer need to feel that shame.

This is a ‘must read’ book for any alienated person.

Gave me an understanding of the narcissist that was my previous partner, the father of my children who turned them against me from a young age. The results of which are evident to see with my now narcissist daughter. The health and mental health issue both her and her younger sister have. I’m thankful to now be in therapy with my eldest who was most affected and therapy with the youngest to follow. . At the age of 26 with children of her own, my eldest is finally ready to try and talk .
