I would say that this quote has quite a long spectrum, from the ultimate love of a healthy heart to the ultimate destruction of a wounded heart.
My niece sent me a picture of a book imploring me to read it, and as it turns out, I already had it and hadn't opened it. How's that for a spiritual nudge?!?!! The book is by Debbie Mirza titled "The Covert Passive Aggressive Narcissist." It describes my niece's life experience with her ex-husband in frightening detail. I originally purchased the book in regards to the abuse I experienced from my older brother, Ken. The book indicates that anyone who has experienced a CN is all three of these: target, victim and survivor. The target is one who takes most of the CN's abuse and is the CN's energy supply. We were victims of abuse even though there are no physical scars. And we are survivors diligently working on healing.
It is a very encouraging book, written by someone who understands the life-long trauma this abuse can cause. I have never been able to make anyone in my family understand the insidiously-sick relationship my brother created with me. It is comforting to find someone who "gets it."
