"Am I Crazy?

From the outside, Sharon had it all. But her picture-perfect life was not what it seemed. What she didn't know at the time was that she was being psychologically manipulated by a malignant narcissist who trapped her in an abusive cycle of hoovering, devaluation, and explosive anger--with a whole lot of gaslighting, word salad, and breadcrumbing thrown in for good measure.

Today, many of these words are becoming better known, but during Sharon's toxic enmeshment with her narcissistic spouse, these things were not yet fully understood- let alone talked about.

Nearly 20 years of torment caused Sharon to doubt everything, including her own reality. She wondered, ""Is it me? Am I crazy?"" Enduring decades of mental and emotional abuse resulted in a complete lack of identity where she no longer knew who she was or who she wanted to be. When the straw finally broke the camel's back (in this case a dead squirrel tumbled out of a wall), Sharon found the strength to stop the madness and regain control of her life.

In Girl Gone Glad,

Sharon uses wit and wisdom to share the lessons she learned post divorce that changed her life. Years of research and in-depth conversations with hundreds of other narcissistic abuse survivors led her on a journey to discover her most authentic self. She shares the Red Flags of Narcissism, Symptoms of Narcissistic Abuse, and some basic facts about narcissistic personality disorder, including how to heal from narcissistic abuse and some motivational tips that helped her along the way.

Sharon is a midlife single, narcissistic abuse survivor. These are the revelations that healed her ... and can heal you too!"

Sharon Lee Villone grew up in a small town in New Jersey where, in her early teens, she discovered her love for writing as her father battled a terminal illness. She moved to Pennsylvania in her early twenties to raise a family, and in the early 2000s wrote a family living column for a local newspaper. In 2016, she released her first novel, Harness the Storm, after a turbulent divorce from an abusive narcissist. She still resides in Pennsylvania, where she is working on her next novel and runs a support group for narcissistic abuse survivors. She is a proud mom and gigi, narcissistic abuse support and recovery coach, listener, hugger, chewing gum addict, endless student of life and spirituality, and humble servant of God, who continually strives to practice gratitude for such a unique and glorious human experience.
