I am truly thankful for the one-star review of my book listed below, “Year of Thorns: What to Expect When Divorcing a Narcissist.” This review succinctly captures all 17 manipulative tactics of a narcissist in one paragraph. Their attempt to (Smear), sway others (Third-Party Reinforcements) and (Project) what are clearly their own insecurities needing the get the last word in.  Starting with the Name:  “Discerning Eye” (Stalking).  “Tragic Clown” (Verbal Abuse). Claims that I was the one “rejected” (Fear of Abandonment & Altered Reality). “Mention of children” (Guilt and Parental Alienation). “Dog could write better” (Devaluing). Next books in the series – “personally responsible & evolve” (The Mirror Effect) and finally my personal favorite – “bitter  & alone” (Judgement & Shame). Thank you Discerning Eye. It only validates my story and gives meaning to what I endured so that I may help others moving forward. #happyandlivingmybestlife

The Discerning Eye

1.0 out of 5 stars Dumb. Don’t bother. Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2024, Amazon

“Visualize a tragic clown vomiting on paper. This book wreaks of pent up revenge fantasies fueled by rejection. If every person that ends up divorced did this, we would be killing trees for zero purpose. Tragic mostly for the kids that have to be subjected to their parent ranting like this about the other parent. For every book like this there should be a counter book from the other party. My dog can be an author if this is the standard. My vote for the next book in the series would be “How to Become Personally Responsible and Evolve” or “Top 10 Ways to Not End Up Bitter & Alone”.
