What youâll hear:
We explore the phrase âIt takes two to tangoâŠâ Does it, though, when narcissistic abuse or toxicity is involved in a relationship? Is there anything that you can do to help a narcissistic and abusive partner? The short answer is no. Narcissistic Personality is a disorder. Itâs not a mental health condition. Kerry explains the distinction. Focusing on and nurturing yourself back to life is essential in a relationship that has dimmed you.Learn more about Kerry McAvoy:

Her book, Love You More, gives an uncensored glimpse into the dynamics of narcissistic abuse.
