Lucky Me: Walking Away from a Covert Gaslighting Narcissist

Tori Wagner cracks open her soul and pours pieces of it onto the pages of Lucky Me to help you understand what happens in the heart, mind, and spirit of a woman experiencing gaslighting and covert narcissistic abuse.

Lucky Me is the true story of a former homecoming queen, cheer captain, and straight-A student with hopes and dreams of a bright and beautiful future. It's a real-life picture of falling in love with a man who spun her stories about future promises he would break while convincing her that she was to blame for his failings.

You might be thinking, Why would anyone stay in a relationship like that? I would never allow myself to be treated that way. Easier said than done. Nobody plans to be in a relationship where gaslighting is the native tongue. Nobody plans to have their mental framework redesigned for the advantage of an abuser.

Gaslighting by a covert, passive-aggressive narcissist systematically dismantles your identity. It creeps under your skin, invades your mind, and poisons your perspective. The abuse is so gradual and subtle that it's barely noticeable. It's not death by a thousand cuts. It's more like death by a thousand unseen, never-to-be-acknowledged, ever-present cuts.

Tori's story is raw and real. It pulls back the curtain for you to peek into the hidden spaces of someone experiencing gaslighting for over twenty years before finally walking away to find freedom and cling to hope.
