When the person you love becomes entangled with a narcissistic abuser, the world offers them resources, hotlines, and support groups. It offers you nothing.
What Staying Costs is a memoir told from the outside — a year and a half spent watching someone he loved be kidnapped, assaulted, physically restrained, and systematically destroyed by a pathological liar.
Each chapter pairs raw memoir with clinical context — the lived experience alongside the psychology of what was actually happening.
All formats include the complete 12-chapter memoir plus clinical context sections.
