Number 3: They do not want you to become financially independent.
A narcissist doesn’t want you to become financially independent because it threatens the sh*t out of them. They know if you have enough money to have a separate financial identity and not beg them for every penny, they won’t be able to feel superior. By making you financially dependent on them, They control your actions and limit your ability to make independent decisions. This can be especially true in situations where the narcissist is the primary breadwinner or has significant financial resources at their disposal.
If you become financially independent, you will be less reliant on the narcissist for money and beyond their control.
