Do narcissists follow the same pattern in every relationship?
Absolutely. Every. Single. Time.

It’s not love.
It’s a script.

✨ Act 1: The Love Bombing.
They come on strong —
You’re “the one,” “sent by God,” “the best thing that’s ever happened.”
Gifts. Attention. Obsession.
They mirror your dreams, your values, your soul.
You feel seen. Chosen. Safe.

🎭 Act 2: The Shift.
The excitement wears off.
Their mask slips.
You start to notice the rudeness… the blame… the coldness.
You speak up. They twist your words.
Suddenly, you are the problem.

🔥 Act 3: The Devaluation.
They criticize you. Withhold affection. Compare you to others.
What was once sweet is now silent.
What was once attentive is now absent.
They no longer see you — they see supply.
The arguments begin. You’re confused, off-balance, drained.

⛓️ It’s not new behavior.
It’s recycled tactics.
You’re just the latest to enter their cycle.

Narcissists don’t love people —
They use people.

The pattern never changes.
But the moment you recognize it…
You can.

Trauma bonding is when a person who is or has been abused feels a connection to their abuser. And this connection is based on the abuse that the person has or is enduring — whether emotional or physical.

COERCIVE CONTROL IS ABUSE—AND IT’S ILLEGAL.
Let’s get something straight:
Coercive control is not “just emotional abuse.”
It’s a criminal pattern of behavior designed to dominate, isolate, and imprison you without bars.

Here’s what it looks like:
• Constant monitoring
• Guilt-tripping and gaslighting
• Controlling your finances
• Telling you what you can wear
• Keeping you from friends or family
• Dictating your every move
• Threats if you don’t obey
• Emotional manipulation masked as “love”

That’s not love. That’s psychological warfare.
You don’t need bruises to prove it’s abuse.
Coercive control is punishable by law.
And yes—you can prove it.
But first, you have to stop denying what’s happening.

Did they target you? YES.

Is that due to weakness? NO.

Why did they choose you? You have compassion, sympathy, a heart to please others, a love that shines like no other, etc...

Why do they hate me? Because they ENVY you. They want REAL relationships but they aren't actually capable of having them.

Why do I feel drained every day being with them? That's what they do. They FEED off of your energy until they drain you of being you. Don't allow that to happen to you, get out as soon as you can!
