Narcissistic Abuse is Insidious… Most survivors report they weren’t aware they were even in an abusive relationship, nor did they know what narcissistic abuse was, prior to being ripped through the shredder. The scary truth is: The narc has been demonstrating harmful behavior throughout your entire relationship. But due to several psychological manipulation tactics they utilized, you turned a blind eye to even the most blaring signs.

Healing from an NPD breakup is NOTHING like a breakup between two healthy people. This is a breakup with someone whose only motivation is to obtain external approval and admiration to regulate his or her self-esteem and validate their identity.
