This book is amazing. I'm am currently in the process of organizing a divorce from a physically abusive narcissistic sociopath. This book is pinpointing every abusive thing he did, including the verbal and psychological. I'm concerned about the custody and safety of my daughter, so this book gives insight to the "reasoning" the personality disorder believes. It gives pointers on everything from how to choose a lawyer and what to say and not to say in court. Super informative.
