If you have had any dealings with a Narcissist, there have been times you hit your breaking point. You may even find yourself in uncontrollable rage or frustration, and it literally can and will drive you to the brink of insanity.

Here are a few things a Narcissist or a manipulative person will do if you react to the abuse and finally have enough.

  • First, they might blame you and try a little gaslighting or projection to make you come to your “senses!” Listen, it’s all about their delusional narrative and not your reality and truth, OK? Got it? Don’t you DARE call them out on their shitty behavior.
  • If the above doesn’t work, they will play the victim! You know, the fucking “woe as me.” The “I’m a horrible mom, I’m not that special, you will be better off without me, you can do so much better!” They will lay the guilt on thick and heavy knowing you have empathy and “might” fall for their shit again. And the minute you do, POOF! They are cured, and they become the grandiose asshole you’ve become accustomed to accepting.
  • If none of the above work…..See ya mother fucker! They will either disappear or take off with someone else. They don’t have time for your insane ass! But by then, they were already talking…
