In this video, I explain the very complicated and dangerous undertaking of protecting yourself when you uncover/unmask a covert narcissist and the dysfunctional relationship they trick you into. Because of their manipulative nature and the fact that they are often respected and even adored by others, taking them on directly is big mistake.

Sounds like enabling the NARC. Sometimes they manage Apartments as crooked abusers. How do you run away as an elderly person, low income after they gotcha via lies? They need to be reported, not enabled.
My daughter is married to one. I think she’s afraid to leave, she has a 4 year old daughter
Thank you so much Ross for your video so true and so helpful..God GOD BLESS YOU 🙏🏻💪🏻💪🏻✌🏻✌🏻👋🏻
So I told them the TRUTH in a text, told them what WAS TRUE, and told them I don't believe them anymore. And then I blocked them and I've gone NO CONTACT. This friend has shown up here and there, but I go "blank"…. I look through them, I don't react, I don't respond, there is NOTHING here for you anymore. But they DEF heard from me that I saw them with the mask off. NOw my first husband who was also Covert Narc would agitate me and when I got mad he would say "I just LOVE a firey woman"…. UGH I got out of BOTH unscathed… and amazing growth and power from leaving. THEY are both still a mess… I am HAPPY JOYOUS AND FREE!
I had two children with a Narcissist. The tug of war was one-sided, because I felt bad for my kids and wanted them to feel peace with me. However, for a few years, he would inject some really foul ideas in their heads. As they grew older, they got smarter and recognized his manipulation. I never told them to cut him off when they'd be conflicted with his demands. He seemed to ruin all situations with petty accusations of not getting respect. I told them to just try to put space between their personal lives and his involvement. To only engage in a quick lunch at a restaurant or a brief visit. Did not work. He insulted my son's fiancee and called her bad words. My son backed her up and terminated the relationship. My daughter, on the other hand, is friendly with her dad, but she is only trying to get back the $400 he stole. She was saving for a car, and he promised he would take that and add more money to get her some wheels. Never happened.
why dose this sound like politics and the news media in general?
What if you are ap recovered bipolar survivor and not strong enough to escspe the traps of a narcissist? What if they use your mental health to enslave you and nobody cares
