a resource on narcissistic abuse

For my entire life, William Joseph Mountjoy (also known as Bill Mountjoy or, simply, Billy) was part of my family. He met my mom a few months before I was conceived, shared a home and a life with us for decades, and his actions caused our lives to crumble apart. 

Many people think of Bill as a charismatic neighbor and generous friend. If only...  having this monster as my 'father' has been a nightmare; sadly what I went through was merely a small fraction of the imprisonment and exploitation my mother, DeNese, endured.  The reality is one of intense family conflict resulting in the loss of our home and litigation that has consumed an extraordinary amount of time, money, and emotional energy.

Somewhere along the way, I began writing about it.

This site has evolved into so much - - a personal memoir, commentary on the legal system, a discussion on how otherwise intelligent adults manage to become such ardent supporters of Bill Mountjoy and - - most importantly, it’s a place other victims of domestic violence can find validation, support, and tips for escape and recovery from narcissistic abuse.
