My ex is a narcissist, they're a wild breed of people. Their flying monkeys are just as complicit and yet also victims.
My ex loves to hide behind their trans identity, so any criticism is deemed "transphobic". They're masters of self-victimisation and manipulation.
The best bet is exactly what you've done: cut contact and block their ass forever. They never change, they'll never have any sort of self-reflection or self-understanding, because "it's everyone else's fault".
Be kind to yourself.
It is pretty amusing when the people they have enthralled start waking up and seeing the light though. VINDICATION!
It was pretty awesome, and sad, when I saw old friends testing mutual friends for empathy responses
as you say, vindication , I am not the crazy or dysfunctional one!
same with the young Seagoons. They are now asking me questions about the weird behaviours they have observed in fam members. Vindication and sadness mixed.
