The Exit Wound: Delusion, Entitlement, and the Lies We Tell Ourselves

What if the deepest scars you carry were never visible to the naked eye?
The Exit Wound is not about bullets or battlefields. It's about the quiet warzone you grew up in -- the one behind your front door. This piercing, unflinching book is a survival map for anyone raised under the crushing weight of a narcissistic, controlling, or emotionally unstable parent.

Written with raw truth and a warrior's heart, Dominick Leon -- veteran, coach, and survivor -- confronts the trauma most families hide. Through vivid storytelling and clinical insight, he exposes the manipulation, delusion, and spiritual exhaustion that children of toxic parents endure. But more than that, he offers a path out.

This is not a gentle memoir. This is a reckoning.

Inside these pages, you'll discover:
✅ The psychological traps that keep adult children emotionally imprisoned
✅ The hidden cost of enabling entitled, unaccountable family members
✅ How self-worth is hijacked by guilt, shame, and generational dysfunction
✅ Why walking away may be the most loving thing you ever do
✅ Tactical tools for reclaiming your identity, boundaries, and inner peace

For anyone who has ever been called "too sensitive," "ungrateful," or "the problem" by the very people who should have loved them -- this book is for you. It's a cry for truth. A call for courage. A lifeline for those still bleeding from wounds no one else can see.

You don't owe your trauma an apology. You owe yourself a life.
