What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? Kimber Foster's journey through a 27-year marriage with a narcissist is a gripping tale of survival and self-discovery. In this episode of Retrieving Sanity, host Keegan Read chats with Kimber, the author of 'The Year of Thorns,' as she shares her experience of living in a war zone of control and deceit. Kimber's story isn't just about enduring the emotional and psychological toll; it's about the resilience to reclaim her life.
She opens up about the early signs of narcissism, from love bombing to devaluation, and the gradual realisation that she needed to escape for her own survival. Kimber's candid discussion includes the impact on her children, who began mimicking their father's behaviour, and the legal complexities of divorce from a manipulative partner.

With light-hearted moments amidst the seriousness, Kimber reflects on setting boundaries and finding self-love, offering hope to those trapped in similar situations. Kimber's journey is a testament to the power of healing and moving forward. Her insights are not only eye-opening but also serve as a guide for others who may be questioning their own relationships.
