  • One of the most dangerous times in a narcissistic relationship is when you try to leave—safety planning is crucial.
  • Narcissists often manipulate through subtle gaslighting and by shifting the blame. You are made to feel like you are the problem.

  • Awareness → Acceptance → Action: This is the roadmap to freedom and recovery.
  • Co-parenting with a narcissist is complex—parallel parenting with strong boundaries is key.
