Yeah, I think the sort of number one pinnacle

when it comes to understanding

any form of relationship abuse,

which certainly would encompass narcissistic abuse

is that the goal of engaging in relationship abuse

on behalf of the harm doer,

or in this case the narcissist

is to gain and maintain power and control over another person.

I am communicating in ways that assert

or attempt to assert power and control over you

by making you believe that you’re crazy,

by overshadowing all of your needs

and making it about me.

And it is from this place of intentional disregard

for the other person in order to make myself feel bigger, right?
