Lolly & The Hateful Narcissistic Mother | Domestic Violence & Narcissistic Abuse

Danielle was 32 years old when she met Matt on an online dating site. Matt had chiseled cheekbones and shockingly vulnerable green eyes. He took rare and alarming ownership for his mistakes, which included drug addiction and some resulting misbehavior. Matt was through that now and regretted the past. To Danielle, Matt was the most beautiful human she had ever seen. And that's the exact facade this wolf in sheep's clothing wanted her to see. It's a story of addiction, hindsight, entitlement, envy, gaslighting, minimization, blame shifting, lack of empathy, extreme vanity, manipulation, admiration, self importance, rage, withholding, ruining holidays, deflecting, abandonment, and much more.
