Dear Younger Me, Victim To Victor: A Memoir

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?e 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 advice, 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. "It's like Leslie Morgan's book Crazy Love turned out to be just the tip of the iceberg. She introduced us to some cold hard facts about partner abuse but Dear Younger Me: Victim to Victor sucks us further beneath those cold hard waters and leaves us to drown for another 25 years." -- J.S. "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
