NARCISSISTIC ABUSE

The malignant narcissist is manipulative and controlling. Power is important to them. They can abuse financially, sexually, emotionally or physically. Narcissistic abuse is becoming more known about yet it appears to be growing - in relationships, organisations and socially. It can present as mild put downs and exclusion to serious ongoing criticism, threats, outbursts, game playing, lying, silent treatment, unfair control over the finances (to the point a partner might have to beg for money to pay bills) or severe life-threatening violence. The narcissist will deny or lie or blame you about what they have done or said. Often their aim is to diminish you until you lose your confidence and you become dependent on them. This lying and blaming is gaslighting and its very confusing for the victim and destabilising to the point they start to doubt themselves. Sadly, often the victim does not know that they are living with a narcissist until they themselves become very unwell. Help is at hand for victims of this abuse.
