Slam the Gavel welcomes back AUTHOR, Bailey Smith to the podcast. Bailey has written a book, "Married to an Illusion, A Survivor's Guide To Identifying and Escaping Narcissistic Abuse."
Bailey Smith has went through more than two decades of torment, married to a narcissist who physically, mentally, and verbally abused her and her three boys.
"For every pain, there is wisdom; for every loss, there is gain, and for every tear, there is purpose. Out of these truths, I determined to write this book and use my experience, wisdom, research, and resultant strength to be a force for change. I know what I have endured is for a purpose; so that through my stories, I can teach more powerfully what needs to be done to stop this cycle of abuse. Sharing is healing! I endured what I did to help others, to make a difference, and to set the example to NEVER GIVE UP!," Bailey states.
This book is divided into four sections. In the first two sections, each chapter is laid out in a “show and tell” format. Bailey begins by sharing a few stories from her experience which reveal traits, abuses, and terms related to narcissism and then she explains in detail what these stories teach, including the wisdom and counsel Bailey has to give after going through such adversity in hopes of providing knowledge needed by individuals as well as society.
We discussed how Bailey wants to educate people and that abuse is not just physical but also mental, sexual, verbal and financial. Planning ahead is very important when leaving a Narcissist as well as the consequences of loving a Narcissist. After divorcing, they will use your children to hurt you.
