Vicki Mills holds a B.Ed. from University of Miami an MS and M.Ed. from Florida International University. She answers questions on approximately 20 different FB groups about dealing with narcissistic abusive relationships. Vicki has spent her professional life as an educator, curriculum designer and developer, biologist and fighting for women’s rights. She taught Science and Biology, wrote sex education curriculum for Miami Dade County Schools, had a 21-year career with USDA, lived in Hawaii, the Philippines, Hungary, traveled to 65 countries and taught English in China. She enjoys raising her mostly non-narcissistic Burmese cat, painting, growing exotic tropical plants and photography. Her award winning, “Incredible Inside-Out Body” T-Shirt and Owner’s Manual, was featured at the “International Year of the Child” Exhibition at the Smithsonian Museum, in two separate exhibitions at their Renwick Gallery in Washington, D.C. She developed a successful course for FIU; “We Are People”, to raise awareness of disparate treatment of women and girls. In 2018 at the Tribeca Film Festival, NYC, she was proud to be a part of the cast, interviewed in the acclaimed Netflix documentary, “The Bleeding Edge”. An “eye opening look at the medical device industry which reveals how their rush to innovate leads to devastating consequences for patients”, (particularly women). With this book, she is sharing a lifetime of hard-won lessons from the caldron of surviving narcissistic abusive relationships. This book has been a labor of love to give women the “know-how” to get through with dignity, self-esteem intact, survive, thrive and move into the emotionally healthy life they deserve.
I gave the book 5 stars because it addresses serious issues that many, many women face. I think even those who are not partnered with narcissists would benefit from reading it, particularly women married to alcoholics.
But just as alcoholism is a disease, so is narcissism and at least in my experience, not a way of being that can be easily controlled by the narcissist. Whatever the cause, my husband is incapable of caring for anyone but himself. For 48 years I had the hope and illusion that he could become the person I wanted him to be. But like the frog in the pot of water, I finally had to jump out before I was cooked. Your book tells it like it is! Thank you.

An insightful, easy to understand and frightening insight into the world of narcissism.
"That said, I think it would make a huge difference to women who are doubting their current relationships or who have just left an abusive relationship they don't want to get sucked back into.
For women whose worlds have actually collapsed and who are trying to make sense of what has suddenly happened, or women who feel as though they have been thrown under a bus, this book would offer a way out of the confusion and trauma by helping a woman to make sense of her story."
