I expressed my desire to possess the same skill in suffering the disease and contaminated parts of myself that have been devoured by the narcissist or sociopath, and replacing it with a whole and healthy new version of myself.

It is complicated, and for a time, it may be completely out of reach. Can we hold people responsible for their sins against us and others if they are mentally dysregulated and impaired?

N.A.R.C. Troopers: Narcissistic Abuse Recovery CollaboratorsWhen the Sweetness is PoisonWhat happens when sweetness turns out to be poison? Sweetness is a highly valued quality in our world, and the narcopath has adapted, assimilated, and learned how to be sweet as cherry pie with ice cream on top.
After a brief digression about assigning labels, the value of sweetness is examined and the qualities that are truly important are identified:
moral virtue, loyalty, steadfastness, honesty, transparency, commitment, self-sacrifice, generosity, fidelity, devotion, courage.
These are the things that matter the most.

It is a dynamic that happens slowly over the course of a relationship with a narcopath that is a total erosion of your ability to be a self-actualized, whole, and complete individual. You come to depend on the narcopath for all cues and behaviors and responses. You depend on them to be the only source of your existence and survival. They take away all of your power until you are a raw, defenseless, helpless, incapable mess. You are not helpless, and your only chance of freedom from this...2021-02-2630 min
N.A.R.C. Troopers: Narcissistic Abuse Recovery CollaboratorsWhen Murder is Your Best OptionThe narcissist psychopath is a murderer, and more importantly, they have already murdered themselves.

They may appear charming and kind and polite depending on what type of narcissist they may be and the degree of sociopathy or psychopathy which is present, but it is all a false persona.
