Product Description

Product Description

Web of Lies takes you on an emotional roller-coaster, experienced through the eyes of Sarah Tate, an intelligent, young newcomer to Switzerland who is swept off her feet by an older, more experienced company manager. Within weeks of their meeting, Bill impresses her with a courtship vastly unusual in modern times. He lures Sarah with his intellect along with numerous gifts, expensive restaurants, and trips to luxury hotels. Sarah, who is searching for not only love but security, quickly finds herself falling for the worldly but sensitive and caring man Bill represents himself to be. In Web of Lies, she describes the highs and the lows of what it is like to be involved with a person with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, how to come to terms with the abuse, and most importantly, how to escape.

5.0 out of 5 stars An exposing and courageous account. 28 Oct 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
As a recovering victim of a narcissistic relationship spanning 57 years, I found this account most helpful in the fact that it reassures it's readers that this is a monsterous personality disorder. The ripple effect throughout the family and lives of those who have become injured by such deceit from a narcissist.

For me this was not a husband or partner, but my mother. However the parallels I was able to draw from this account reinforced what I have instinctively known, that this was Not my fault, after all.

At the age of 57 I have managed to break free, but not until the trail of destructive behaviour had been exposed to my father, my brothers and other family members. My mother ( in her eighties) still creates havoc in the lives of anyone who is foolish enough to allow her to attach herself to them.

Like the author I feel sadness for the energy which could have so been put to use in a more worthy cause, but these people have no shame and will never change.

This book was a gripping account and must have been both painful and healing to write. Thank goodness Sarah has managed to recover enough to share her account as a warning to others. The long shadow this type of person creates is just so harmful.

Thank you Sarah for sharing your experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Web of Lies - My life with a Narcissist 8 Nov 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
For anyone that has had a narcissist in their life, this book is an excellent read. I would highly recommend it and felt it was a very honest betrayal of living with a Narcissist. It also gives hope that life can improve when you remove yourself from the Narcissistic person in you life. If you do have a narcissist in your life the only thing to do is escape!

I found myself wanting to shake sara and ask her if she was blind although if you were living it I can see you would get swept away. Very glad she saw the light in the end just a shame it took so long. Not a bad read.

I enjoyed reading this. It really reveals just how sinister the world of the narcissist can be and how innocent people can be 'groomed' into a toxic world if fakery..

&quote;
Narcissists will fabricate their lives and lie continually in order to maintain false status. &quote;
Highlighted by 7 Kindle users
&quote;
As the name suggests, individuals with this disorder are highly self-centred, having an unrealistically high opinion of themselves and their status, a pervasive and persistent grandiosity in all areas of their lives and is not simply showing off to a few friends. &quote;
Highlighted by 6 Kindle users
&quote;
A bizarre sense of entitlement can lead to usurping the recognition of others or even their possessions accompanied by aloof arrogance and snobbishness towards others, including friends. Very sensitive to criticism of themselves, they will retaliate with rage or a false humility to protect their pride. Narcissistic rage can and has led to homicide. &quote;
