    Guest Bio:

    Jo Fonda’s memoir, Twenty Years to Life, reflects on over two decades of her husband's coercive control and mental / emotional abuse, hidden behind the screen of a picture-perfect successful life. She was systematically isolated from family, but finally recognized the reality of their dysfunctional marriage and the warning signs of a dangerous reaction to ending the relationship. Despite depression, anxiety, and fear, she and her daughter safely escaped. The death and destruction that followed was international front-page news.

    Jo is an advocate on domestic violence awareness and served on the Board of the NH Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence.

Precise validation and education about narcissism!

I’m so grateful for your candid, honest, and serious take on this deeply disturbing issue. This is the most informative and validating information I’ve found on narcissistic abuse and I’ve been studying it and reading books about it for nine years to try and understand what happened to me. Thank you! 🙏🏼
