Raised By A Narcissist
A Memoir of Survival, Healing, and Reclaiming My Voice

Some childhood wounds are hidden behind closed doors. Some are carried quietly for years. Some take a lifetime to name.
In Raised By A Narcissist, Lizzi A Hewitt shares the raw, heartbreaking, and ultimately hopeful story of growing up under emotional control, neglect, manipulation, and fear. From childhood confusion and family separation to self-harm, grief, counselling, and the painful process of reclaiming her voice, Lizzi’s memoir is an honest account of what it means to survive a home that never truly felt safe.
Told with courage and emotional clarity, this memoir explores the lasting damage of narcissistic abuse, the complicated grief of losing a beloved father, and the slow, brave journey towards healing. Lizzi does not write to shock. She writes to tell the truth: the truth about being silenced, blamed, watched, dismissed, and made to feel small, and the truth about finally choosing peace.
Deeply personal and powerfully human, Raised By A Narcissist is for anyone who has ever questioned their worth because of someone else’s cruelty. It is a reminder that healing does not mean forgetting. It means facing the past, setting boundaries, and building a life that finally belongs to you.
