The Empath and the Narcissist is a steady, compassionate exploration of what it feels like to love someone who cannot meet you emotionally, and the quiet toll this dynamic takes over time. Written for empaths who find themselves carrying the emotional weight of a relationship, this book looks at imbalance not as a label, but as a lived experience that shapes daily life, self-worth, and parenting.

The chapters move through the early sense that something feels uneven, the cycles of warmth and withdrawal, and the deep confusion that comes from communication that never quite lands. You'll recognise the slow build of self-blame, emotional loneliness, and exhaustion that can occur when one partner is constantly adapting while the other remains unchanged.

As the focus widens to include children, the book gently explores how unpredictability affects family life, what children absorb beneath the surface, and the emotional strain of parenting in an unstable dynamic. It also addresses the complexity of staying, the fear and grief of leaving, and the rarely discussed aftermath that follows either choice.
