"I wrote this book to help other people going through living with a covert narcissist and to help them get out of that situation before the narcissist alienates their children against them," says Kesur. "I am qualified to write this because I went through this hell."
Parental alienation, increasingly recognized by mental health professionals as a form of psychological abuse, occurs when one parent manipulates children to reject the other parent. Kesur's memoir breaks the silence surrounding this issue, offering validation to those experiencing similar trauma and practical wisdom born from lived experience.
Stolen Hearts serves multiple purposes: it's a survivor's testimony, a cautionary tale about covert narcissistic relationships, and a roadmap for those seeking to protect themselves and their children from emotional manipulation. Kesur's honest storytelling provides hope that healing is possible, even after profound loss.
