I wish more people knew of you.
… good morning, Dr R…besides stealing my business’ , they stole my inheritance through fraud, but mostly my folks’ hard work…thank GOD, I’m self-reliant(I’m just a farmer’s daughter)…Cherish the Day!… peace on☕😊🎸🎙️🎧💪⚓💜✌️
My mother is this way every year she’d say hey did you get a review? Hey did you get a raise. Hey did you get a year-end bonus? I definitely don’t make a lot of money. It’s very average below 60 etc. she would be like our house don’t stop responsible for this of it. We have a second I’m like are you and then the second one and I shouldn’t be paying that I shouldn’t be paying it all as well, my etc. I do not speak anymore, but she was like oh I will never again.
N.H. blew through my inheritance like it was water. Took my paychecks to make the payments on my truck and purchasing hay for the horses. When my truck got repossed, and my hay suppliers got me off because neither had been paid in M.O.N.T.H.S.!!! When co fronted, n.h. said he had credit cards from before we got married that he needed to pay off. … and yes I grew up in a narcissist abusive household. I was the scapegoat child. Left home at 18… and now almost 60.
So sorry. I get it.
Loss of loved one loneliness abuse narcissists see our vulnerabilities without our knowledge
They do it to women and men who have suffered a loss a tragedy
The worst time is the long period after the sudden, unexpected death of someone very close. Predators can smell an opportunity to exploit a weakened person and pounce without it being obvious.
My grandfather died and my narc father has been insufferable ever since. I couldn’t cry in front of him because he’d have tried to needle me about it when I honestly couldn’t even think straight. Of all of us, I handle death with the most grace (lost many, MANY people over my short 32 years), so I went behind a door and I cried at his funeral, allowing a few tears to slide down, but all in all I kept my composure basically because I had no choice. He was there, my mom and sister needed me composed, and I never let my vulnerable side show. I only reacted to his crappy behavior when he started pulling his victim cards all the time, and that’s because I can’t stand that out of anyone.
When you have cPTSD Narcissistic people prey on you. You’re very vulnerable to their love bombing and the illusion they give you to be that thing you’re looking for or lacking.
Dangerous combo and they know exactly how to manipulate you
Use your mind to see your ptsd self as a separate person and figure out how to not make those mistakes. You’re mostly there already by making this comment.
I’m already there. I can pick overt and covert narcs out almost immediately
My path through a narcissistic relationship was filled with quiet struggles and hidden strength. Even when I understood the truth, letting go asked more of me than I knew I had. With appreciation for the careful help of @titobmv. I received the quiet confirmation my spirit needed to release what was no longer mine to carry. Now, I breathe easier in a life gently reclaimed
Narcissistic people do love money as much as they love validation and entitlement. Your ability to love, trust, forgive, and possibility of being a source of money in any way possible, is all what makes vulnerable in their eyes.

Betrayal blindness is a factor in falling pray for these toxic people, the fact that they fulfil a major need in our life and that we don’t feel empowered to walk away from these situations.

I have a communal narcissist cousin who lives a few timezones away from me. He loves to act like a do-gooder, as long as he can tell me exactly what to do, crisis or otherwise, because he’s always got to prove that he knows everything ( and by extension, I know nothing). He also loves to brag about himself and gossip about our other relatives. So glad I recently went no contact and blocked him. He’ll probably start a smear campaign against me, but he’s obviously been gossiping about me already, so I’m not too bothered.
OMG I have 2 of those communal crisis narcissists in my family. Two that I have cut all contact with. And they always acted super hyper when a crisis was going on. They thrive when it happens, they live for this. It makes them happy. I don’t need that in my life, no thanks I’m good 😂
I was shocked when this happened. Dear friends were married for over 40 years. When the husband passed, the day after the funeral, an old High School classmate (a married man) showed up unannounced, knocked on her door, asking if he could “help.” He showed up unannounced twice more, week after the funeral, giving his phone # etc. It made her super uncomfortable. It felt weird, insincere, inappropriate and narcissistic.
They’re always manipulating and trying to keep us down.
I can’t express how much I needed to hear this and how validated I feel. It was like you were describing exactly what I went through with my ex-best friend. It began when I got sick in 2020 and my entire world was flipped upside down. The crisis communal narcissist came into my life in early 2021 and into my friend group’s lives. I didn’t realize how many people in our friend group became victims over the years until I started connecting the dots of what happened over the years. I started to reach out to each one of them and they felt seen after feeling so helpless because they felt like they didn’t have a right to speak up about it.
I’ve learned so much from watching your videos but this one hit the nail on the head. Thank you so so much for sharing this with us Dr. Ramani!!
“Must be nice!” I’m so tired of hearing it lol
