Number 3: They will try to destroy you
If nothing works at all, if all attempts fail and you stay firm in your resolve, they will try to destroy you—partner or parent. They will unleash their fury and will run massive smear campaigns. Every single person will know how bad of a human you are and how you have destroyed your partner, how you have destroyed the lives of your family members, and you will be fully ostracized from your family.
They will attack you financially; they will try to destroy your reputation. Basically, everything. Sometimes you will also be attacked energetically. Those who have been through this know what I’m talking about. You will have nightmares.

They will try to attack you from every direction to make your life miserable and punish you. That’s what narcissists do—punish you because you’ve truly defeated them. You’ve proven they’re not as amazing or untouchable as they think they are. You’ve shown they can be beaten, and you’ve broken the toxic family cycle.
You were assigned a role by that narcissistic parent or partner—a role of a fixer, a role of a savior, or a role of, let’s say, a parent. If it was a partner, you were their emotional thermometer, the one who met their needs, and you defied them. You are saying, “I’m not going to play that role anymore,” and that is hurting their ego. That’s a massive narcissistic injury. So, they will punish you in whatever way possible.
What I’m saying is that, in the end, you’ll see their true self come out—a raging monster. That’s what happened with my mother. She tried everything—playing the victim, acting shocked, and even faking big panic attacks. But when none of that worked, she exploded with rage. I just thought, “Go ahead, show me. This is who you really are. This is what I need to see to break the confusion in my mind. Keep showing me, because this proves everything I already knew.”
