Patricia Grenelle grew up trusting the world her family presented—until abuse, abandonment, and silence shattered that illusion.

In We Were a Nice, Normal Family, she revisits painful memories and offers clear psychological insight into Complex PTSD (C-PTSD), childhood trauma, and the patterns that shape adult relationships. This memoir brings understanding, validation, and hope to survivors on a path toward healing.

“A powerful and necessary memoir. Patricia exposes the kind of hidden trauma that shapes a lifetime — and shows that healing is possible. Her courage will help countless survivors reclaim their voice.”

Recognizing unhealthy relationship patterns is the first step toward protecting your emotional well-being. 💙

While no single trait defines a person, persistent patterns of grandiosity, lack of empathy, manipulation, entitlement, and a constant need for admiration can be warning signs of narcissistic behavior.

The more you understand these patterns, the better equipped you are to set healthy boundaries and protect your peace.
