The Truth They Wanted To Bury
For 23 years. I believed I was building a marriage.
Instead, I was living inside a psychological war,
a world of manipulation, secrets, and government betrayal.
Behind closed doors, I was fighting a battle I didn't even know existed.
Until the day the truth finally
surfaced...
and I realized I was never meant to uncover it.

About the Author
Traci Chakra spent twenty-three years married to a man whose life was defined by secrecy, government work, and a darkness she would not fully understand until it was almost too late. What she believed was a complicated marriage was, in truth, a slow dismantling of her identity, through psychological abuse, financial control, manipulation, and the crushing silence that comes from living with someone who never truly loved her, only used her.
When her husband left his government role and crossed into illegal weapons trafficking, the world she thought she understood collapsed. What followed was a journey of survival, navigating danger, uncovering hidden truths, and finding the strength to walk away from a life built on lies.
Traci rebuilt herself from nothing, finding healing on a small Florida farm surrounded by the animals that grounded her and the daughter who saved her. Through grief, betrayal, and the loss of her older children, she reclaimed her voice and began speaking the truth no one ever expected her to tell.
Today, Traci writes not just for herself, but for anyone who has ever questioned their worth inside an abusive relationship, anyone who has ignored their instincts, and anyone who has lived with a person who hid behind titles, charm, or authority.
De-Classified is her first Memoir, a testament to survival, courage, and the power of exposing what was never meant to be seen.

De-Classified Book Description
He said he was protecting America. I didn't know he was destroying my family from the inside out.
For twenty-three years, I lived inside a marriage built on secrets, lies, and relentless psychological abuse. Behind closed doors-and behind the facade of a devoted CIA operative-was a man who weaponised manipulation, gaslighting, and emotional cruelty with the precision of a trained interrogator.
What began as what I thought was love became a psychological battlefield. Every day, he chipped away at my identity, my confidence, and my sense of reality. I endured isolation, financial control, and the kind of covert narcissistic abuse that destroys a woman's soul.
It just didn't break me.
It fractured my children.
It destroyed my family.
My three children-Gabriel, Noah and Maggie-grew up in the same quiet war. The two older boys were pulled into their fathers' manipulation and false narratives, leaving me to carry the unbearable pain of their estrangement. Only my daughter Maggie stayed by my side, becoming my anchor and strength.
But when I uncovered shocking truths-hidden money, illegal activity, and a double life I was never meant to discover, danger escalated beyond anything I ever imagined.
I tried to expose it.
No one would listen.
I reported him to the FBI, CIA, and multiple federal agencies. Instead of protection, I was dismissed as "the bitter wife"-silenced by the very credentials he used to manipulate and evade accountability. I wasn't just fighting my husband...I was fighting a system that protected him.
This story is about how narcissistic abuse stole my voice, confused my reality, destroyed my family, and how uncovering secrets, illegal activity, and the corruption protecting him changed everything I thought I knew. It's about reclaiming myself after twenty-three years of manipulation, betrayal, and a system that refused to see the truth until I forced it into the light. It's about survival, awakening, and breaking free from a life built on lies.
