The Last Crazy Trick a Narcissist Pulls Before You Completely Stop Caring
This trick is sickening because it proves the most heartbreaking truth: they always knew how to treat you properly. Process that for a moment. They always knew how to be kind.

When kindness fails to pull you back in, they immediately use that same kindness to launch a revenge-driven smear campaign.
