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.

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.

💔 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.

✅ Instead of owning their actions, they demand gratitude for their mere presence in your life. They minimize your feelings, frame their abuse as a favor, and make you feel indebted for the "privilege" of their time. They use obligation to silence your complaints.

💔 Emotional blackmail isn't love. Saying "if you really love me, you will do this for me" is a manipulative tactic, not a sign of affection. True love respects boundaries and doesn't demand compliance. Choose respect over demands.
