Narcissists survive on chaos, control, and manipulation, they study your soft spots, push your buttons, and drain you until you feel empty.

Narcissists don’t evolve through accountability.

Narcissists don’t miss *you* they miss the power, attention, and emotional supply you provided. When they sense you’re done, they switch tactics. The insults stop, the charm returns, and suddenly they’re understanding, affectionate, and attentive.

Narcissists are terrified of abandonment.

Narcissistic exes treat court orders like a menu, picking what suits them and ignoring the rest.

Narcissistic abuse costs lives, and just because it might be easier not to notice or care about suffering, your ignorance reproduces generational cycles of bullying and top-down power structures which do violence to the most vulnerable.

Narcissists train you to stay silent about your feelings.

For a narcissist, the legal system isn’t about truth, it’s just another tool for manipulation and revenge.

Manipulation is when they blame you for your reaction to their toxic behaviour, yet conveniently ignore the disrespect that pushed you to that point.

Time might heal your wounds, but it doesn’t erase the truth.

Narcissists have a trademark smirk, a subtle but chilling expression that appears almost without their awareness.

Repeated behaviour doesn’t lie. #ParentalAlienation

A narcissist’s goal is simple: remove every voice but their own.

Behind the mask of the narcissist is a thumb-sucking, childish, temper-tantrum crybaby who refuses to take responsibility and grow up.

Acting confused was how they avoided accountability and made you feel like the problem. That’s not miscommunication, that’s manipulation.

Narcissists often deflect blame, invalidate your feelings, and seek control in relationships.

Identifying a narcissist can be simplified using the 3 Ds: Defensiveness, Dismissiveness, and Dominance. These traits often overlap, creating emotionally harmful dynamics in close relationships.

Deep down, the narcissist really hates you—not because of anything you did, but because your strength, empathy, and capacity to love expose everything they lack.

They couldn’t handle the mirror, so they turned your reaction into the problem.

Narcissists are masters of manipulation.

Admitting to not reading or understanding court findings is a serious breach of professional standards. #ParentalAlienation

Parental alienation involves one parent manipulating a child to reject the other, often tied to narcissistic behaviours.

Under Section 47 of the UK's Children Act 1989, local authorities must conduct enquiries if there's reasonable suspicion of a child suffering or risking significant harm, including emotional abuse from ongoing parental alienation. #ParentalAlienation

Neglect of safeguarding duties: If alienation is ongoing, it constitutes emotional abuse, which social workers are obligated to address under the Children Act 1989 (Section 47). Failing to act on credible concerns risks harm to the children.

Ever noticed how narcissists will bend over backwards for strangers while leaving their own families in the dust?

When a narcissist becomes "nice" again, don't fall for it. Ever.

Narcissists have such good memories. They even remember things that DIDN’T happen. It’s uncanny and infuriating, their ability to rewrite reality, to twist conversations, moments, and events to fit their narrative.

A Narcissist's story never starts at the beginning.

Narcissists play the innocent victim while secretly launching a full-blown smear campaign against you. They know exactly how to twist narratives so subtly that people believe them without question.

Some 38 Reform councillors have been suspended, expelled, or resigned since being elected in May. More than 1 in 18 locally elected politicians acting on behalf of Nigel Farage’s party have resigned from their positions. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/1-i...

If social workers lack training or policies on PA, they may misinterpret alienating behaviors as justified resistance or fail to recognize their significance.

Narcissists don’t interpret forgiveness the way healthy people do.

The more you forgive a narcissist, the more their behavior escalates, each act of forgiveness is seen as permission, not compassion.

Someone who takes accountability isn’t dangerous, they’re dependable. They don’t twist things to avoid blame or make you question your reality. They repair, not repeat. That’s the kind of love that feels safe, not the kind that keeps you walking on eggshells.

Parental Alienation as a Unique Clinical Dynamic Parental alienation (PA) refers to a situation where one parent deliberately undermines or obstructs a child’s relationship with the other parent, often through manipulative or coercive behaviors. It is a unique clinical dynamic because:

A key indicator that you're in a covertly abusive relationship is that things only remain peaceful as long as you suppress your feelings, thoughts, and opinions.

Narcissists never tell the full story, but only the version that keeps them looking innocent. They hide what they did, the lies, the manipulation, the harm. But the moment you react, set a boundary, or finally defend yourself, that becomes their favorite part to talk about.

Healthy relationships survive honesty. Narcissistic relationships only survive silence.

Narcissistic relationships only survive silence.

Healthy relationships survive honesty.

Narcissist knew you'd eventually tell the truth, so they had to make sure no one would believe you when you did.

Covert narcissists crave admiration but hide behind humility.

Gaslighting trains you to second-guess everything you feel.

Maybe think before you choose sides without knowing the true story, #ParentalAlienation

Parental alienation involves one parent manipulating a child to reject the other, often during separations; it's classified in DSM-5 (code V995.51) as a form of psychological abuse. #ParentalAlienation

Narcissists always see themselves as victims no matter how horribly they've treated someone else. To them, the problem is not their lying, cheating, stealing, or abuse, the problem is that you started to notice those things.

Narcissists don’t grieve relationships in the way normal people do, because for them, people aren’t people. People are objects. Tools. Sources of supply. Once you no longer provide the admiration, attention, or validation they crave, they discard you and replace you with someone else who will.

There have always been dysfunctional families and marriages, but in the past, it wasn't socially acceptable to separate. People stayed together, were miserable, and argued a lot. That's why there are so many transgenerational traumas.

Research from Cafcass notes that parental alienation may stem from personality disorders like borderline or narcissistic personality disorder where a parent projects their feelings of inadequacy onto the other parent potentially leading to harmful behaviour such as isolating or terrorizing the child
