“You’re the one who keeps coming back after putting me down. So, who’s the problem—me or you?”
Narcissists thrive on cycles of abuse, followed by temporary sweetness. This pattern creates trauma bonds, where they act loving and apologetic just long enough to regain control.

- Expose their contradictory behavior.
- Highlight their dependency on you for validation and control.
Point out the truth:
- They act like they hate you, but they keep returning because they rely on the control they exert over you.
- Without you, their life would crumble because you’ve been fulfilling the role of a caretaker, a parent, or even their enabler.
This phrase forces them to confront their manipulative behavior and the imbalance in your relationship.
