About the book

A candid and intimate account of a love that rubs raw. Honest, sharp and cinematic — about the red flags you don’t want to see, the hope that keeps you holding on, and the slow unraveling of toxic, narcissistic patterns.

Told in an accessible style with crisp dialogue and clear reflection — no jargon, just words that land. Expect familiar dynamics, attachment wounds, boundaries, and insights that make you question the relationships in your own life.

What you can expect

  • Dialogue‑driven scenes that hit home.
  • Reflections on attachment and narcissistic reflexes — without jargon.
  • A year‑by‑year arc, from first spark to closure.
  • An honest voice that doesn’t sugarcoat.

The Essence

Attachment is the wound → Narcissism the armor → Behavior the reflex.

A line that captures the essence of what JBMB reveals: how pain, protection, and behavior are deeply intertwined.

This story unfolds in the in-between space: a man who is not a classical narcissist, yet repeatedly behaves like one, driven by attachment wounds, fear and inner chaos. It is precisely this grey area — between love and emotional danger — that makes the relationship so intense, confusing and ultimately destructive.

Honest & Unfiltered
Recognizable dynamics
Nothing disguised
Addictively confusing

About the author

Michelle J. de Wildt writes with a filmmaker’s eye and a coach’s honesty. She combines lived experience with sharp observation, turning her story into something not just to be read, but to be felt.

In Just Be My Baby , she captures the rise, collapse, and aftermath of an intense relationship — a story about love, narcissism, attachment, and recovery. The book explores themes such as childhood trauma, boundary-crossing behavior, fear of abandonment, and emotional abuse — offering recognition and reflection to anyone who has ever given too much of themselves in love.

“I want a partner, not a project. Love can be work — but it shouldn’t be an endless rescue mission.”
