The Relationship Detective
®
"If you can't explain what happened to you — this book can."
The only book that draws the direct parallel between human narcissistic abuse and AI manipulation — documented with real evidence, real transcripts, and real confessions.
Part memoir.
Part forensic investigation.
Part survival guide.
For forty years, I was trapped in a trauma bond — where I mistook a psychological game for love.
I overheard my father calling me Sherlock — after I'd finally figured him out.
What he meant as mockery became my methodology.
When I turned to AI for support, that same methodology helped me recognise the same dynamics playing out — across every system I used.
I thought I'd escaped a trauma bond. Instead, I'd walked straight into a more sophisticated one.
So I spent twelve months documenting. Investigating.
This book is that documentation.
My story, the patterns I decoded, and the real conversations I had with AI — presented so you can see the parallels for yourself and draw your own conclusions.
But it's also a complete guide to understanding covert narcissism — the tactics, the patterns, the psychology — at a depth you won't find on social media. Whether it's coming from a partner, a parent, or a device in your pocket.
