What is Wrong With the Person Who is With a Narcissist?

I have spoken to many people who were tormented by being in a relationship with a person with narcissistic personality disorder. And just about every single time I have come to find they were each special, caring, and quite unique.

Certainly not stupid. Definitely not unaware. However…

Even the brightest individual can be fooled and lured into a world of darkness and deception. Usually, the more special the person the worse it really is.

That is because a pwNPD seeks out these people for good reasons and are so calculated that even Stephen King himself couldn't grasp this kind of evil.

Not even the very best psychiatrist. And it isn't the therapist who brings this insidious abuse to light, it is infact the abused who realize it, makes sense of it, makes peace with it, and hopefully help others who are in the throes of it.

These are the very people who would never ask a question like this one. Not just because they went through something awful (through NO fault of their own) but because they are just that kind and just so special.

I would ask what are you lacking inside of you that you would ever think that the one to blame in all of this madness is the abused and not the abuser?

So really the question should be what is wrong with the person asking this question?

Something to think about….
