So, you're dealing with a narcissist and they're crazy and they drive you absolutely insane,

but when you're dealing with a narcissist is they seemingly always are in control, or

at least, they want to have control over you, so they do all sorts of things to maintain

that control over you because control is a form of supply that they get, when they are

controlling you they get narcissistic supply. What is supply, you ask? I'm going to direct

you to a video I did on narcissism 101. I talk all about narcissistic supply, but basically,

what I want you to understand is that narcissists have no inner sense of value. They were traumatized

at some point when they were young, when they were children, and I've also read things it

could've come from even over-indulgence, but most of the time it comes from trauma, or

neglect, or something that happen to cause them to have little to zero self-worth, so

they have no inner sense of value. I've often said they're like the hollow chocolate Easter

Bunny that looks good on the outside, but there's nothing going on in the inside, and

as a result of that, they feel that the world is not a safe place, so they're not trusting,

and they feel that they have to manipulate every single situation. So, they live off

of something we call supply. And supply is anything that feeds their ego.

It feeds their external sense of value, so supply can be money, and big prestigious job,

and having all of the trappings that feed people's egos, like living in the right place,

or having the right spouse, or whatever, but most often and a lot of times supply for a

narcissist comes in the form of something much darker, much deeper, much worse, and

that is devaluing people, debasing people, treating people poorly because then they have

that sense of control. But, every single narcissist has something inside of them that is a what

we call narcissistic injury, and it's something inside of them says, "I'm not good." If you

were able to peel it away in real-time and real form you would like peel away and you

would see this tiny, little, scared child living inside of them and that tiny, little,

scared child, they feel that if somehow if they're exposed, like they would almost die,

like they wouldn't have anything left of themselves. And so, they protect that narcissistic injury

at all costs. But if that narcissistic injury is tipped

off in some ways, like rubbed on, then that triggers narcissistic rage, and as a divorce

attorney, I have seen it many, many times. Regardless of whether they are doing the discarding

or the other side is doing the discarding, during that discard phase, remember, the relationship

is love bomb, devalue, discard, and if you want to know more about that, check out my

videos on love bombing, devaluing and discarding. During that discard phase, you often see that

narcissistic rage being triggered and so that is one of the signs that a narcissist is actually

losing control is you see that rage flying out.

I literally just settled a case that the wife, I'm representing the wife, the husband is

a clearly malignant narcissist and if you want to know more about malignant narcissists,

check out my video on the most dangerous type of narcissist. He would just rage and just

drive everybody crazy. They act like two-year-olds having tantrums, but they're grown adults,

and so you know that they're losing control because they act like that to try to gain

control back over the situation. Sort of like how a two-year-old has a tantrum hoping that

they'll get control over their parents that way. In a two-year-old's mind, "If I fall

on the fall and I scream loud enough and I scream hard enough, my parents will give in

and give me what I want." And so that's what a narcissist does. It's the same exact thing.

It's really the same exact mentality. And so what happens is with the two-year-old,

if the parents keep giving into these tantrums then the next time it happens the two-year-old

goes, "Well, they gave in last time, so this time all I need to do is cry louder, cry harder,

cry longer and they will eventually give me exactly what I want." And so the same thing

happens here. So, one of the ways you know for sure that a narcissist is starting to

lose control is you see that narcissistic rage come flying out.

Another way that you know that a narcissist is starting to lose control is that they start

to devalue you. You know, well obviously, you are a horrible mother, or you're a deadbeat

dad, they're going to start to say things to trigger you. One of the things, when you're

dealing with a narcissist, is they're really, really good at reading people, that's how

they were able to love bomb you in the first place, especially if it's been a romantic

relationship, let's say it's been your husband, your wife, your spouse, your partner in some

way and this person has been with you for a long period of time, they really, really

know what your weaknesses are, they know what's going to trigger you, so you'll start to hear

them say things to get control back over you and they hit you in ways that they know are

going to hurt you the most. So, you know, I'm taking your children away. You're never

going to see them again. I'm not paying you a penny of alimony you'll be living on the

street. Food stamps for you. Homeless shelter. You know, things like that.

And if you have seen a narcissist rage on and you know that they're just doing it to

try to control you again, give me a, not allowing it, in the comments. When they start to lose

control they start to either devalue you by saying I'm going to take all of these things,

so they try to exert some kind of coercive control over you that way, or they try to

love bomb you and they go, "Oh, come on, you don't want to act like this. You're really

overblowing this. This is too much. Let's just talk. You know that we can talk. Oh,

how come you want to use that crazy co-parenting app, that's so hard. That's ridiculous. We

don't need that." So, they kind of go back into that phase of maybe trying to woo you

or use their charisma to get you back. So, you'll see them using whatever it was that

got them into their web of control in the first place, they go back to that.
