Author Joanna Moore-Narcissistic Abuse Survivor
I am copying a post I made on Facebook to archive it here for others who may find it. Yesterday an obvious narcissist came to this page and started ranting that she was a professional and no one had the right to diagnose sociopathy, that shared articles were not real or helpful, etc…. She also … Read more
It might be obvious, or maybe I’ve posted enough that people may know I’m an American. Not that sociopaths are any different in other countries, but I’m here dealing with one in the United States. We are supposed to be a free nation. We tout our flag and talk about our freedom of speech, and … Read more
Many people who are dealing with a narcopath notice that the narcopath seems to know every move they make. Even when they go no contact and have nothing to do with the narcissist anymore, the narcissist knows. I used to notice that the sociopath would react to my actions in real time. This happened when … Read more
I judge people by the way they drive. Why? Because I think the way a person treats others, their passengers and themselves on the road shows insight into their true colors. Not unlike the way you can tell someone’s a jerk if they are willing to bully cashiers or servers. Every disordered person I’ve ever … Read more
When my narcopath ex was smearing me, he made a big deal of telling our mutual acquaintances that I refused to let him see his son. People hated me. They thought I was this evil ex wife who was bullying an innocent father by not letting him see his beloved child. The divorced men hated … Read more

Like many people who have children with a narcissist, I have the misfortune of sometimes having to communicate with the narcissist. I gray rock as much as I can. I don’t take the bait when he falsely accuses me, I don’t defend myself and get pulled into his web of lies, I don’t engage in … Read more
This post is actually about cluster B friendships as much as it is about romantic relationships. It was inspired by some comments I saw on Facebook today. (I swear Facebook is toxic to society, and yet it’s so addictive!) Cluster B personality disordered people are polarizing. Some people love them. Some people hate them. Some … Read more
This post isn’t directly about narcissism, but it is about the consequences so many of us face when we leave the narcissist. Narcissists practice financial abuse and blackmailing. If the narcissist knows you want to leave, they will threaten to drain your finances, (or they will actually do it,) they will threaten you and say … Read more
I was thinking today that I might plot out a timeline of how a relationship goes with a Cluster B abuser. I am leaving out tons of details of abuse just to give a timeline of how fast the stages went. Things might go in a slightly different order, or at a different speed for … Read more
