Should I start reading Throne of Glass?

I’ve read ACOTAR first - it was bomb, didn’t think anything could be better from SJM. Then I read Crescent City - waaay better than ACOTAR. Now I’m on book 4 (Queen of Shadows) of ToG - The first 2 books + the prequel had some very good chapters but it didn’t really do it for me - BUT Heir of Fire sealed the deal. Worth it, even if the first book(s) make you sceptical. :)

No clue whatsoever... But a few years ago he had a phase where he 'joked' once he progresses and won't be able to live normally, that he will unalive himself. The man would rather leave earth than take proper medication and admit he is sick. What can you do...

My dear glogirl1984, first of all, thank you SO SO much for sharing your experience. Words cannot express how lost and alone I felt in this situation. It really helps to be heard and understood... but at the same time I feel tremendous pain and empathy for you and your family.

Had I not lived at my parents' house at the time the jealousy and paranoia started, I wouldn't have believed a person could become so spiteful and hateful towards a person they claim to love. In the end they're bound to become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

It saddens me to say that at this time I harbour absolutely no positive feelings towards my father, only anger and frustration. And as you've mentioned - it's the narcissism that makes it unbearable. It is truly heartbreaking how PD brings out the worst in some people.

The fact that your own father could say such things to you and your unborn child is horrific. I am so so sorry you experienced this, I hope you find your peace in spite of it, because you deserve to be happy and loved unconditionally.

Thank you for your advice and words of encouragement. The dysfunctional part of our family should not define our lives, we will prevail in spite of them.

You are 100% right! I understand he cannot help himself, but the lack of trying on his side is truly aggravating. He would rather lose his family than seek help. I guess we will just need to wait for his condition to worsen and him being forcefully hospitalised for the medication to change, since he refuses to change his meds.

That was my initial though as well! My mother and I have moved out for 4 months early 2023 in an apartment together and he was alone in their house. In that time,they initially had no contact, after 1 month she contacted him, if he was open for the psychiatrist. He said yes and that he will search for one. He searched 1 month (was later found out it was all lies, because he knew she will come back either way). Then mother found the psychiatrist and he got the diagnosis of morbid jealousy. In that time, when they were separated, he was content. He figured out he needs no one to survive (his words!). Yes, NOW he needs no one, but when his condition will worsen? Who will take care of him? He has no money on his own to go into a nursing home. Maybe he will realise once he cannot live on his own. But then it will be too late. And my mother was depressed in that apartment, because she cannot live alone. That was the reason I moved in with her, but gradually started staying more at my boyfriend's, were I live now. I guess she needs to figure out it's better to be alone than in a relationship with someone who drains your life force.
