    I lived with a Malignant Narcissist for 13 years. I only realised after discard. She took my children, my home, my business, conned me out of a property portfolio & over £500,000. Then she called the Police, claiming Domestic Violence. I was arrested & whilst I was locked up overnight she self inflicted injuries. She brainwashed my own children & some friends, & nearly my own sister. She contacted 60 friends, acquaintances & business customers around the world. I ended up unemployed struggling to cope with life. It was a living nightmare. Now I’m fighting back, I discovered she’s involved in a major fraud & money laundering. Shes also stolen from the homes of several friends & family & now in the process of securing evidence. This could be a real life Netflix drama. I’m a former Police Officer & I’d never experienced anything like this in my 22 year career !

    #7. They don't trust others. I was recently on the phone with one who said "You can't trust anyone nowadays!" and during that very same conversation were several lies of omission, and then outright lies, so he is a perfect example of what he was talking about! Complete projection. I had mentioned the city of New Orleans several times, and he's never mentioned that he took a trip there. The reason why he didn't is because he didn't want me to know that he was visiting another malignant narcissist there. When I asked, "Did you stay with him while here?", he got angry that I asked. Busted. Blocked his number. Permanent no contact.

My plan is to completely remove her and her entire side of her family including my only brother from my life. My kids are the only family I have and I am going to do everything I can to protect them from being used as pawns in my mother's narcissistic need for supply. Ever since my dad passed away 3 years ago, my mother's true evil and hate surfaced toward me. Right now she has my kids living with her bc I had a breakdown, a lot caused by my mother's narcissistic abuse and refusal to help me have a break as a single mom. I can't wait to cut her and her whole side of the family from mine and my children's lives. Her whole family carries this same sick and evil narcissism. I pray protection over my children and myself and even my dads dog living with my mom

    Malignant Narcissism stems from a narcissist who has been through extremely severe trauma (such as being emotionally / mentally abused by a sociopath) and has not receive any professional mental health treatment for their PTSD afterwards. What happens is since the narcissist already has many of the qualities and traits that are associated with malignant narcissisms, what really happens is these traits are further heightened by the trauma the narcissist has been exposed to. In other words the narcissist's "ego" is transformed to the "superego." As a result, everything that makes the narcissist a narcissist is also heightened ten-fold and this includes the narcissist's tolerance to shame which (subconsciously > as a narcissist's ego get bigger and bigger a coping mechanism in the self subconsciously uses "shame" as a coping mechanism to keep the ego from getting out of control). However, in extreme narcissism individuals the "ego" becomes what Freud termed as the "superego." When this occurs the individual's coping mechanism "shame" becomes literally zero or very near zero which is why malignant narcissists have extremely low tolerance levels when it comes to "shame." This also explains why narcissist's who are malignant "always" have to be "right" and the other has to be always "wrong."
    This theory also explains why the malignant narcissist lives in a false reality. The false reality is a coping mechanism within the malignant narcissist that everything in their false reality must be perfect as anything less than perfect is unacceptable and because anything less than perfection is unacceptable, the coping mechanism "shame" sets in. At this point (level) the malignant narcissist "shame" and "superego" and so far out of touch with reality that the only reality that the malignant narcissist is capable of dealing with is false reality which exists in the mind of the malignant narcissist.
    In simpler terms, the malignant narcissist is a really a narcissist who has become a "super narcissist" as a result of being exposed to severe emotional / mental trauma. This is exactly why psychologist Eric Fromm said that narcissists at this level (malignant) at the epitome of evil itself.
    When the brain is exposed to severe emotional / mental trauma the brain physically changes and adapts to deal with the severe trauma and for the narcissist this includes heightening their all their subconscious narcissism coping mechanisms to frightening levels (extreme sociopath / psychopath) that makes the narcissist > malignant narcissist what they are.
    From my personal observations and personal interactions of both narcissists and malignant narcissists the theory appears to explain why extreme narcissists and malignant narcissists are the way they are.
    ua-cam.com/video/wdUR69J2u6c/v-deo.html
    If the ego gets larger and larger the person subconsciously doesn't realize that their tolerance to shame becomes lower and lower.... and as their ego increases their tolerance level to shame works in the opposite direction (to keep their ego in check).
    As a result narcissists only know how to deal with their enormous egos. However, narcissists don't know how to deal with their profoundly low tolerance to shame thus the narcissists just keep their shame hidden and become like ticking time bombs when their ego or shame is criticized or challenged....
    It seems to make much more sense and explains the narcissist's behavior perfectly.....
    This also explains why Asian political leaders when they get caught in scandals they will immediately resign or step down from their position without question whatsoever due to their extremely low tolerance level to shame of being caught in a scandal (monetary or political image). The political leaders egos are so big and their (subconscious) tolerance level to shame are so small that the the balance between the ego and shame no longer can keep the ego/shame in a healthy mental equilibrium.
    What's even more ugly in modern society is that narcissist parents just repeat their pattern of narcissistic parenting over and over and society ends up with entire populations where narcissism is the norm.

    He made it seem he was not arrogant or controlling and he did this very well!!!
    I was severely abused in all ways by this evil .... covertly, overtly extreme gaslighting and sadism
    Now his REAL self did show up in the last year of discard
    He would never try to LOOK controlling or arrogant he did that incredibly well just like pretending he had empathy
    It ALL came out full force in the end absolutely no conscience and everything he pretended he wasn’t cane out strong
    Just warning people they learn the game even better as they age and can hide some of these NPD red flags
    Although from the beginning he was so disrespectful and verbally abusive etc
    He made me believe he had bi polar and it was alcohol
    You are right he did the most sickening disgusting sadistic things especially the last year of betrayal I could not wrap my mind around
    I was discarded 3 years ago and they are capable of anything. I finally had to move away 2 years
    And have healed a lot
    Just want people to know that they can hide a lot of red flags very well
    With that said a lot of other abusive behaviors he could not
    I knew something was wrong from the beginning I tried to leave many times before .. they are relentless
    I was threatened and kept hostage at one time
    With that said if I would have listened in the first week to my intuition it would have never gone on
    And to my demise it lasted 7 years 😩
    I had boundaries before him. With that fake love and the relentless nature he broke them.
    He was like no man I ever encountered he showed affection like no other it’s unbelievable
    So I was trauma bonded by this psycho early.

      The lying is constant!!! This video explains everything so so well. Trying to explain what you are experiencing to others, including some trained professionals & many working within 'The System', is extremely challenging and at times, futile. Malignant narcissist's can easily con/convince others that their lies, their sense of reality is right, with victims/former victims looking on in utter disbelief, often whilst they are being held to account or having their parenting or mental health, their very sanity being questioned. All the while knowing the extent of the lies. Bizarre is the word I have often used to describe this phenomenon. Unreal or incomprehensible is another. I have come full circle ⭕ in terms of truly appreciating the extent of the abuse I have endured & it is a very surreal experience, situation to be in. I still have alot to work through, as an empath who has been used & abused by MN parents, had children with a MN & sadly, despite my best efforts, leaving, distancing etc, see how the cycle can repeat & how innate many of these traits are.
      Thanks for the videos. I hope society will become more enlightened. Peace to all those who have been affected. B

    Has anyone ever tried to warn a loved one that they are in a relationship with a narcissist? I so badly want to have that conversation with my son but am afraid it would backfire. He married what we believed at the time was a wonderful young lady. We (his immediate family) were soon blindsided and left for dead, so to speak, when her covert narcissistic mask came off and we became her new target. I had never before heard the term "covert narcissist", and I sure wish we could have been armed with this knowledge a few years ago. By her cunning deceit, she has succeeded in brainwashing our son and alienating him from us. I keep praying that he will wise up and flee from her.

      I'm that son of a different mother if somebody would of told me early on before or after marriage that this was not a person I should stay with, I don't know what I would've of done. But i wouldn't of been mad at the person trying to tell me something. I started noticing things shortly after our kid's came to be and I knew a while ago that this marriage was not a good one but if I started doing things to end the marriage she would do anything she could to keep the kids away from me and proudly turn them against me as if it was the thing your supposed to do in that situation. Now I could take it and care for them no matter what especially after I figured out what was actually happening and that i wasn't crazy. But she appeals to laziness and selflessness and doesn't help teach them anything important and when I do she tries to make it as though I'm crazy for teaching them how to take care of them self and right from wrong basic parenting stuff. I do not have a bad relationship with my kids at all but given the choice natural human instinct is to take the path of resistance and I'm not mad at that, so given a choice it wouldn't be surprising they would live with there mother and would not receive any upbringing and have no chance at making a happy life for themselves and when say none I mean none. (I could give alot of examples.) So I've been toughing it out for a while for this reason now my daughter is almost 18 and my son isn't far behind. He probably knows( your son) that something is off and also I think my mom felt the same way you do and didn't know how to handle the situation as well. And i can tell she bites her tounge still and it gets harder to do so. Looking back on it if I would've know the specifics of narscissim and it was an actual thing I could recognize that has a name and clearly negative effects I would've stepped away. I'm telling you this to relate and my advice would be familiarize him with the subject right now narcissism is rampid it's a huge problem in the world but there are still decent people.maybe if he can recognize it he'll just wanna separate himself from it. Be well

      But I have told my son about narcissism after I found out that there is a name for people like my malignant/covert mother and my ex narcissist. Every single confused piece fell into place. I didn’t know before. Thank god he is young and studying and no time for gf 🙏🙏🙏

    • @savinggrace5154
      @savinggrace5154 3 роки тому +2

      I don't wish to discourage you but I was married to a covert narc for 13 years. He destroyed my life and my family. Irreparably. I studied on this subject and discovered I was raised by a very malignant father.
      I've been free (divorced) for 6 years. I finally healed enough to let another man into my life. Someone I had known since my youth. So I trusted him early on. I've now been remarried for just 1 year and his malignant mask fell off 😯
      I've been entrapped again, and this one is 100 times worse then the 1st one (which I thought was impossible).
      My advice here is this: Time reveals all narsissists masks. This is why they ALWAYS try to rush the relationship. I married my 1st husband after 5 months because he impregnated me (while I slept and without concent), and told me he wanted nothing more then to be a husband and Father. The 2nd marriage moved quickly as well. married after 1 year because we were both in our 40's and knew eachother since childhood.
      They will tell you they love you WAY too soon. they have a small to non-existent circle of friends. They aren't really close to anyone, many acquaintances but they're all superficial "friendships".
      So take time. A narcs cryptonite is a slow pace. They can only act for so long. Say no and it washes the mask off. No you can't move in with me yet. No I dont want you to call me mama, no I dont like rough anal sex. You will see that every "no" boundary you set, will be violated!!
      After being with my 1st narc husband for 13 years and not having felt love or respect in soooo long. I fell prey hook line and sinker to my 2nd husband's love bombing phase. I had forgotten what it was like to be "loved" and it was intoxicating. I felt alive again....until...the love started being pulled back, conditional apon my compliance to him to now not being worthy of his "love". "LOVE" has been replaced with pain, abuse and relentless torment.
      I must remain single for ever now because I am a narc magnet. My Father started the grooming process. My 1st husband and father isolated me from family and friends so by the time my 2nd husband arrived on the scene I was a sitting duck in the pond. The work was already done for him. I was isolated 100%
      Good luck to you. I pray you find healing and wisdom and that you dont fall victim to this abuse ever again!!!

My brother physically assaulted me and my mother stood there and watched. She truly does enjoy seeing me in pain. She really had become a full blown malignant narcissist worse than I've ever seen her. I am starting to truly believe that she was the reason my first cat went missing. My moms story was that she believes my cat was hit by the bulldozer that was digging a whole in our front yard and that Tigger, my cat was right there at the hole watching and they probably ran her over and just threw her in the hole. How would she know that??! Are malignant narcissists known to kill animals? I mean this cat was very close to me and my dad which would have caused my mom to be jealous. I am really seeing just how sick and evil my own mother really is and it scares me that my kids are living there right now.

    And if all of that was not enough, now they have even got me married off to a girl not of my choice and who is also a covert narcissist, and given the fact that she fits the dark triad you've mentioned in this video, I think that she's even a malignant one at that. God, please help me.

My fiancé told me he will never again beg me to forgive her nor allow access to me again he is done hoping his mom can ever change and be nice or decent with me. My fiancé as I told him his mom was using her mandatory babysitting she has no custody to force me to drop off the child so she could abuse me I refuse to do this anymore. His mom once stole his child for a solid month against our will and refused to give back the child until I was told to go to her house to get him so I did I got the child out of her house while she was yelling and she hit me I called the police. Because she abused her one overnight stay we allowed her to have and she kept him for an entire month claiming he was ill and his severe behavior changes and tantrums we have discontinued overnight stays and the child’s behavior has started to improve. He and his child moved in last May and for 4 months he was acclimating well we documented the success with a counselor, then the grandmother said she couldn’t handle this change and was having trouble letting go and she demanded we allow overnight visits with her grandson with her and then the child’s behavior drastically adversely changed I documented this too with our counselor and my fiancé is soon to get his son to a counselor. We have documented the child’s improved behavior due to discontinuing any overnight stays. Sad that she used her grandchild! Horrible!

    The malignant narcissists in my life are so evil it took me years to face the facts about what they've been doing my entire life. Any friend I'd make would be contacted behind my back and I would be maligned to ruin all my credibility. I never understood why so many people who got along with me so well the first few meetings would suddenly change their behaviour sooner rather than later, once my narcissists learned about my new friend and reached out to them. The same thing would happen with my employers.
    I'm still coming to terms with how much damage those utterly evil people have done to my life. The only way to deal with people like that is to mentally get to the point where you want them dead. I have reached that stage and will never budge from it.

    Unfortunately when your daughter is the narcissist and a mothers love is supposed to be unconditional, it's hard to cut ties, especially when grandchildren are involved also. It's important to learn survival skills in order to become more resilient but expect to be annihilated from all corners. It's soul destroying 😔

      Ann Boyer this one is really hard! I am in the same boat but have had to go no contact in order to save my life. Literally. These are the slimiest of all as it is impossible to talk to anyone in the immediate circle because as a mother you are supposed to love unconditionally. Getting to see the Gkids was a continuous emotionally draining battlefield of broken promises. My Gkids used to have so much fun with me and always begged to stay longer which I think might have pinged the narcess off. You would think she would have been pleased that her children had someone who loved them as much as I do. But the painful realty is...she cares not and only wants me to suffer for some reason that I am honestly clueless about. This feels like hell and I can't see it ending. I am in so much shock over this as I didn't see what had been going on for decades until recently.

      Bandie Boo I can really empathise with you. My daughter has tried to turn my teenage granddaughters against me, by telling awful lies about me but thankfully their memories of being with me as children, which was every school break and some, counteract her words. I also have a six year old grandson now, who has developed a deep attachment to me, so my daughter uses that as a tool against me. When all I ever did was love and help her in anyway possible, always putting myself last, like a fool but was still abused, I realised it was myself that needed to change. You can't change the way people talk or think about you but you can change the way you react to it. I'm lucky that my family have witnessed some of her treatment of me and thankfully I've had their support throughout. My heart goes out to you but think of yourself, heal and whatever will be will be. 🙏🏻💞

      Unconditional love of a Malignant Narc is God's job, we are not God. None of you have to buy the BULLSHIT pablum of unconditionally loving adult people ( your adult selfish narc children) who are repeatedly assholes to you and/or treat you like crap and act like parasites (aka suck on you for narcissistic supply).
      For minor children we allow for immaturity but I raised my children with the Golden Rule ( meaning: don't do what you don't want done to you to others...INCLUDING ME) . I believe in reciprocity and mutual emotional support when it comes to adult children. Living in a different city is very helpful with adult malig. narcs. It also helps to have more than 1 child that you can share a normal relationship with. I am very sorry to hear of your isolation but please engage with others ( even pets) who value and love you.
      Last Saturday one of my son's texted me this verbatim: "Love you Mom, thankyou for parenting me right ". Before he met his wife I would text him goofy cat videos and he would comment that it was like a shot of "love". He lives 3 hours away and I am not a smothering mom and vowed I would never be a mother-in-law from hell. His father is however a malignant narc and life with his step-dad was beyond the pale ( train wreck- suicide attempt from his own wrong doing). Anyway, for 2 of my adult children; having them acknowledging that I was always a "Good Mom", ( which came out of the blue), was very poignant. I needed to hear those words, especially when I tried my best to give them a better parent than I had... despite being poor, marrying young, being one of 11children and lacking the kind of parent that I became to them. My daughter is snubbing me and since she was always borderline, mean, and frankly a hard child to love...I don't miss her drama when she appears that she can get people to step in and bail her out of burning and treating people as if they are disposable. Hope my input helps.

    When you talk and you give an example of a malignant narcissist. What I originally thought of was a movie called This Boys Life. It has Robert De Niro, and Leonardo DiCaprio in there. It is really good. But in that movie Robert De Niro is what I think of when you talk about a malignant narcissist. Along with my ex of 11 years of course. When you were talking about hypocrite, double standards, lying. She got mad at my daughter because my daughter has long eyelashes naturally. So then she started growing and getting some glued on. Right at the end of our relationship. She didn’t realize that I caught what she had said. At this point though I had already been researching the stuff because of her behavior and I was like what is making her act this way this cannot be normal. And vindictive. I could fill up this whole comment section on stuff. And some of the vindictive stuff she would do people didn’t even know. She would smile on their face and act like their friend. They would tell you she is a good person. They have no idea how bad she dislikes some of them. They would think that everything was cool.

      Chantel Baldwin. You have a life, and it's right in front of you. You are ENTITLED to be happy, and that is your right. Narcississm is a worldwide epidemic. It's so bad, that the Bible even warns us about this. Read about narcissists in Psalm: 73, and 2nd Timothy: 3. Only God Himself can help us to recover.

    All True. So glad for your passion on this topic and your insight and knowledge. I realize that we never had a real relationship anyway. As soon as I stopped stroking his ego I became essentially nothing to him. It’s ok because since I’ve been learning about narcissism I feel stronger and wiser especially now that I know it’s not me! It never has been me. Thank you

    #6 incredibly vengeful and cruel. I’ve been experiencing that. My dad asked me to move my mother from under my sister’s care to his granddaughter. For good reason. Omg! How dare he think the granddaughter could do a better job! Their granddaughter and I have been accused of kidnapping, elder abuse, financial abuse. We have received threats. There were two APS investigations - found not valid. I couldn’t have moved my mother without my father/her guardian’s approval and paperwork. Totally ignored it. Said he wasn’t mentally competent to make that decision. But, surprise, he was mentally competent to have my sister named POA of his estate 1 1/2 years and a stroke later. It’s a nightmare. My father has since passed and now to untangle everything. Suddenly, she’s sweet as pie in attorney’s office. I just don’t know what to think.

    Narcissists also use your positive character traits and project them onto themselves. I experienced it myself with my introverted narcissistic ex partner. In this way they try to make you even more uncertain and justify their behavior.
