Stroked Summary When I heard she was doing a sports-themed romantic comedy, I knew I had to read it. Her humor is belly-laugh inducing while being slightly over the top (that’s what I love about them!).

Well, everyone expects he'll turn out just the same. maybe he drank a lot, got into fights, ended up in prison. Then there's that one kid (or more) who had a dad who was known for causing trouble.

The “respective extremes” drove the action, demanding fealty from the moderates. Liberals and Conservatives battled to win the war of public opinion. The politics in the years surrounding its passage heated class antipathies beyond the boiling point. The epicenter of these disturbances was the Reform Act of 1867. Fenian terrorists took what advantage they could, striking in London, Manchester, and Chester.

This compromises the Caretaker’s self-esteem, distorts their thinking processes, and locks them into a Victim-Persecutor-Rescuer pattern with the Borderline or Narcissist. Caretakers give up their sense of self to become who and what the Borderline or Narcissist needs them to be. Here, Margalis Fjelstad describes how people get into a Caretaker role with a Borderline or Narcissist, and how they can get out.

However, in intimate relationships, they can be emotional, aggressive, demeaning, illogical, paranoid, accusing, and controlling-in the extreme. Often they appear to be normally functioning at work and in public interactions, and Narcissists may even be highly effective, in the short term, in some work or social situations. People with Borderline or Narcissistic Personality Disorders have a serious mental illness that primarily affects their intimate, personal, and family relationships.
