Is your home life miserable? Do you dread coming home from work at night just hoping your spouse or boyfriend will not be home? That was me a few years ago before I finally had the courage to leave a narcistic relationship, with the help of my son. 

Hi, my name is Deb Kozel and I lived with my boyfriend for 13 years before I finally was able to get out of that poisonous relationship. We lived in Los Angeles at the time and one of the main reasons I could not move out in the beginning was because I could not afford to be on my own. Rent was too expensive with just my income and he knew it.  After I started receiving more income and moved up in my job, I finally had the resources to move out. And with the help of my son, I was finally able to make the move, after many threats, both to my life and his (he threatened to take his own life).  

How did I do it, you may ask? Well, it sure was not easy and it wasn't the first time I tried. Over the next few weeks, I will try to explain my story to you and offer you some insights and advice on how you can pick up on narcissistic behavior, how to try and deal with a narcissist and steps to take to try and leave a narcissist. 

Until my next blog, please BE STRONG and STAY STRONG. A narcissist is only as strong as you allow them to be.
