THE CYCLE OF NARCISSISTIC ABUSE –
DEVALUE –
“STOP!! Stop bringing it up! You went through all my stuff and then you wanna act like I’m the one with the problem! I told you they didn’t mean anything. You’re paranoid.”
IDEALIZE –
“Here I got you something, I hope you like it… it’s your favorite brand of shoes. I wanted to do something special for you. I love you.”
REJECTION –
“Dang! There you go again! Always being negative! Why do you have to act like that, huh? You really need to work on being more positive!”
