The ex a covert narc repeatedly plays mind games on me and EVERYONE so he can continue to PLAY the victim. It’s despicable and beyond exhausting!!!

It is exhausting but after finally escaping a relationship of 10 years I feel like it was one of the greatest lessons I have learned in life although I am damaged I know the red flags right off the bat so I can protect myself for future dealings with these types of people.

My husband and mother are covert narcissists. They love to play the victim card.

The more time you spend in the presence of the narcissist, especially with witnesses present, the more they will try to gas light you, & twist what you said to mean something altogether different than what you actually said.

[mommaboombam]

Thank you for your education. Like a game like Tug of war; of back and forth. Push and pull leaving you exhausted, just ripe for their picking. Let go of the rope and set yourself free. Strength and silent wisdom is what they don't have and need to break you bc you are strong and they know it.

[lucybraun]

Even the no contact that you apply - the narc will twist, & say they initiated it.

[NOLOVELUCY]

I'm so glad that you put a name on that projection I was confused at first but when you said blame then I knew and I like the word projection because that's absolutely correct

[popmonika]

Anyone had this happen...

Even when you have gone through the flying monkey attacks and found a way to create strong boundaries... They'll use the people who they think are closest to you and make sure you watch them do the same thing to them like they did to you.

Narc elderly mother who caused so much pain for my siblings and I, is now ignoring all of our attempts to assist w aging parent issues. This woman wants to be malevolent until the end. She’s antisocial and one of the siblings is antisocial, too, and that sibling is self centered & causing problems that get in the way of anything productive. I’ve had it w my parent frankly. Thank God I’m a thousand miles away. The last time this parent was in recovery care, I sent care packages w stamps and notecards and a list of names and addresses of friends and relatives, cozy socks, lip balm etc. They didn’t acknowledge it. She thinks I’m after her money.

My husband is narcissist but way are they very kind and giving with their brother sisters and mom dad .

[BillBennettYoga]

The silent treatment was the worse pain I’ve ever felt in my life. Here I am working in an icu as a nurse. And he vanishes for a week after a year together. I wish I knew then what I know now.

[lucybraun]

Sometimes, you have to put a word or a request to a narcissist in order to prove it mattered, or you made an effort, or time was of the essence. I hate when that type of thing comes up, because you know that as soon as they learn that, they will pour everything they have in doing the exact opposite thing. If anybody has a method for avoiding this type of scenario, I would love to hear it. I certainly do document that the request was made, but I don't put it past them to lie about ever receiving it, or blaming others for their supposed inability to comply.

[Eleniexp]

Wow perfect timing. I’m negotiating with my ex narc now where I co-own the house. Thankfully I got in a lawyer or else I would have just signed away everything and would have still had to pay the mortgage based on the “settlement” agreement he sent. It’s maddening- I’m literally just following the law.

[NOLOVELUCY]

You're awesome you are very very awesome it's a shame that the world has to produce such trash

[ninjagirlnomeansno]
