Navigating a relationship with a narcissist often involves future faking—grand promises about the future used to keep you hooked in the present. It's a manipulative cycle. 💔 Recognize the pattern: actions over words are key. Prioritize your well-being. Seek support.

🚨 Once a narcissist can't control you, they pivot. Their next move is to control the narrative about you to everyone else.

Watch out for the false stories they spread to influence the people around you and turn them against you.

Narcissists are allergic to accountability. 🛡️ They never take the blame, because it's always someone else's fault. Expect gaslighting, deflection, and a total refusal to admit error. Their world is perfect; you are the problem.

I agree children are perceptive and insightful - however parental alienation is a very insidious thing. Often they have no idea until they learn about it. Which often doesn’t come until late teens/early adulthood- because to them it seems normal (to hate on the targeted parent).

Adults have their reasons and are valid. Children are the most vulnerable.

Abusers saying they were alienated as children themselves could be true but it is no excuse for becoming an abuser.

Also abusers saying they are being alienated by an ex is often a projection of their own abuse (narcissistic abuse) onto others.

Meet with children. Children that are not observing your examples. Statements like “mom is crazy” or “dad is a loser” from parent one to parent two erodes a child’s mind. This happens on purpose to target the previous partner using the child as a tool/object.

It seems you are not familiar with parental alienation and what it is. Your story is powerful and deeply painful- you are talking about something different. Parental alienation is when one parent strategically undermines the other parent to prevent a child from having a relationship with them.

💔 Parental Alienation is a silent form of emotional abuse. It's the systematic manipulation of a child by one parent to reject the other. This act deeply wounds the child, shattering the bond with a loving parent. Children deserve to be free to love both parents.

I appreciate you sharing. You are heard.

📢 Emotional child abuse and narcissistic abuse are often indistinguishable in a family setting. Both involve a pattern of psychological harm, manipulation, and control that shatters a child's sense of self-worth and reality. It can cause lifelong trauma. 💔

I hear you. Thank you for sharing your story.

Absolutely-both men and women can experience narcissistic abuse.

🤯 Narcissists dodge accountability by blaming, gaslighting, or playing the victim. They use denial, projection, and deflection to keep their self-image intact and twist the narrative, making you question your own reality and memory. They never admit fault.
