And the pain doesn’t stop after the breakup. Custody fights and coparenting nightmares continue to affect people who share children, if not worsen.
Feeding the Narcissist is a bad idea.
Narcissists are experts at luring people in by dangling their best bait in the hopes of catching their next blood feast. Excessive attentiveness and flattery, unexpected professions of intimacy, and sudden, premature declarations of love and commitment are all common baits. Devaluation follows the idealization phase for the noncommittal narcissist. S/he unleashes a list of criticisms, complaints, and “logical” grounds for wrath as immediately as s/he exalted you.
However, even after the narcissist has left, you’ll probably find that the hook in your mouth gets deeper the more you try to free yourself.
Why You Shouldn’t Feel Bad for Narcissists
