Product Details

There were also some quite frustrating aspects of the book too. She makes a really big deal about how she doesn't want to be painted as the 'divorced woman' as this comes with some negative connotations - yet it's the beginning of the strap-line in the front of the book - which I presume she signed off on. She also expresses her frustration with the GPs she saw who insisted she needed antidepressants and therapy because she didn't want either. I really don't understand what else she wanted from them, what else could they offer?In the beginning, the psychopath befriends you and becomes your most trusted friend. They draw you in by sharing intimate details about themselves and expect you to reveal your intimate secrets in kind. Only the intimate details they are sharing with you are either totally fictitious or greatly exaggerated, and yours are the painful truth. You’ve been longing to find someone you can talk to that you can trust with these details, so you do… Your psychopath is storing this information to be used as a weapon against you later. In the meantime, this sharing of intimate (secret) details draws you closer to the psychopath’s web. 2. You Are Courted by the Psychopath I found this true story astonishing and I highly recommend for anyone who was fascinated and horrified by The Tinder Swindler on Netflix. Also, as the cover states, for those interested in the ‘Dirty John’ case (Debra Newell also has written her own book.)
