Just like with Don’t You Know Who I Am?, Should I Stay Or Should I Go? is a crash-course guide covering all things narcissism and toxic relationships, but with laser-focused attention on romantic relationships with narcissists. If you’ve ever been in a relationship defined by antagonism, aggression, dismissiveness, manipulation, impulsivity, insensitivity, triangulation, arrogance, and all the ugly rest of it, this book was written for you.

We might feel it as a general unease, unhappiness or dissatisfaction, or experience full-blown stress or anxiety symptoms that affect your health and wellbeing, making it difficult for us to function well. It might get our mood down and make us feel hopeless and despondent. It might affect our confidence. Or, on the other hand, perhaps it has no impact on us at all.This is a personal matter for me, and not only because I’m already 64 myself. Both my parents are still alive – although in my mother’s case that may be stretching the meaning of the word. My father is 93; my mother turns 90 in July. Watching their old age progress has been mystifying, painful, and sometimes heartening.

When diagnosed with low-tension glaucoma in the 1990s, she was warned that, if she lived long enough, she’d go blind. She’s lived long enough. As of last year, this formerly voracious reader can’t discern a carry-out menu, nor can she lay eyes on her beloved husband. A television is a radio with lots of dead airtime. Mostly, she sits in her wheelchair, chin on chest. I’ve no idea what goes on in her head.
