 NARCISSISTIC ABUSE SYNDROME

Narcissistic abuse is the insidious, gradual, and intentional erosion of a

person's sense of self-worth.

* It is a combination of emotional and psychological abuse aimed at

undermining the identity of the victim, with the sole purpose of controlling
them for personal gain.

* May involve patterns of domination, manipulation, intimidation, emotional

coercion, withholding, dishonesty, extreme selfishness, guilt, rejection,
obstruction and silent treatment, gaslighting, financial abuse, extreme
jealousy and possessiveness.

7. GUILT POISONING
Always carrying the blame
In addition to neglecting their own needs, victims of narcissistic abuse
feel very guilty when things go wrong.
In the narcissist's world, he can do no wrong. Whether you make a
genuine mistake or are simply dealing with life's natural challenges, you
blame everything you think is going wrong on others.

The narcissist refuses to take responsibility for anything and tends

to accuse the victim that if the relationship has not worked it is because
of something they have done or not done, that they could have tried
harder.
Generally, the person who is in a relationship with a narcissist already
has a lot of internalized guilt from childhood, where the father or mother
blamed them for everything and used the issue of guilt to manipulate
them.

a solution
The last and unmistakable sign that you are
in a narcissistic abusive relationship is the
feeling of feeling trapped in the relationship,
as if someone is holding you back and you
are more of a hostage than a willing part of
the bond.
That is, you want to get out of the
relationship, you know that it is eroding your
self-esteem, causing you anxiety,... and yet,
you feel helpless, without the strength or
determination to get out of it, to the point that
what you would like most is for The narcissist
