My sister was the golden child. 63 maddening years of dealing with this toxic mother and her mental illness. She will not die, she will not leave my sister and I alone sending in many flying monkeys on her behalf despite both of us have been no contact. After many years of triangulation my sister and I have reconnected. We both suffer from PTSD, sever anxiety, multiple physical ailments from the abuse, and sleeplessness. Will be tuning in for Part 3. What now? After all mother is “old, sick, and all alone”. “Why are you abandoning your mother?” Triangulation attempts with our children, her grandchildren, and cousins, friends, her minister, etc. and the list of flying monkeys is unending.

She went back to her old supply exes and still wanted to have me and then. I wasn't going for that shit. So she hoovers every few weeks. Yesterday i reached out and told her Merry Christmas through text and she was acting really really nice towards me "hey baby" this and that ave telling me she been thinking about me and all the extra nice stuff. So when I called her I find out she tells me that "i can't be calling or texting her because she has a boyfriend".....but i seen on social media that she sound like she was going to go back to one of her exes that she had history with so she's going back to a old supply.

Once again, you hit the nail on the head! My MN came from abusive/alcoholic parents. He often said he hoped they were rotting in HELL. I should've seen that red flag and ran. He would bring up his abusive background to make excuses and explain why he was so horrible at times to the people around him. He could be incredibly cruel and vindictive. He would feel bad but try to explain it away and ultimately come back to HIM being a victim. Seven years of this and prior abusive relationships left me with C-PTSD. I've been blessed enough to find very good counselors to help me heal. If you're dealing with this type of person or any abusive person PLEASE get out. If you can't do it right now, form a plan and activate it when you can.

[@carlathedestructor2454]

My malignant narc ex told me a story once of when he was little, maybe five years old. He and his family were up before daybreak getting ready for a trip to an amusement park having breakfast. My ex didn't like eggs but his dad decided to force him to eat them, saying nobody was going anywhere until he ate them. His sisters raised hell at the kid, his mom begged him to eat them, his dad threatened him. Apparently they sat there until nightfall until the eggs turned green, left uneaten. Nobody went anywhere. Dad cancelled the trip. And what's worse, the whole family blamed the boy for missing the trip, not the dad. (His sisters confirmed the story.) That's just one example of a thousand incidents that led to my ex to become the monster he is today.

[@amyjkr]

Yet, his inherent personality was so rigid as a child that he was willing to lose a fun day just to stand his ground. Sorry, but that’s a sign in itself. My almost-ex gave me every sob story in the book about what his dad did to his mom, what a stranger did to him at 6, about how he had carried the whole family when his dad went to prison. I’m not sure any of it is true. After all, he’s told people I abandoned my kids, I’m a drug addict, I’m a cheater, and every other thing he could think of to smear my good name. By the end, after he held me down in the bed and told me he wouldn’t have a wife he couldn’t fuck, I began to have a more flippant attitude about his struggle. I stopped fucking him because he was fucking anything that walked on two legs. Yet, I am the asshole. I’m not particularly proud of it, but at the end o told him he deserved every fucking thing that was done to him, because he was too much a bitch to deal with it and not spread it on to me and our kids. They’ll whine about a thing that happened to them 40 years ago, and then turn around and dish out the same. It’s retroactive Karma. If you don’t at least try to prevent your own children from the pain you went through, then you deserved it. Sorry that seems harsh. But it’s true. Nothing happened to him that didn’t to me. Yet, I didn’t dish it out to relieve myself. That’s a narc. Who cares what they suffered before. People suffer.

After learning about Narcissistic People I started to pay VERY close attention to him and I noticed that EVERY SINGLE TIME he would say he was the one having to walk on eggshells around me was when he would get me rattled up and upset, to the point of being ashamed of myself for lashing out!! It was totally then, that I realized he only says that when HE KNOWS how upset and embarrassed I get about lashing out and I would indeed believe I was the problem since in that moment of cRaZyNeSs I WOULD truly believe it!!

After 35 plus years of therapy, your series has taken my mental health to a much better place and enlightened me on so many levels!! My oldest brother is definitely a malignant, sadist and cunning narcissist who loved to torture his many siblings. Sneak attacks, especially in the middle of the night, were common. We would wake up screaming after being choked or smothered, then my mentally ill parents would punish us for screaming. needless to say, it ruined my childhood. The worst was watching him torture my baby brother, who became severely mentally ill and died under suspicious circumstances.

My dad fits all of this except for the anger. I feel like he has a great amount of rage inside him, but instead of doing a typical anger outburst he keeps it hidden. Even when hitting me or my sister he remained perfectly calm, almost cheerful. I still think he is a malignant narcissist because he is so cruel and power hungry. It's been over 2 years since social services got involved and I've finally managed to stop living with him a few months ago. He's giving me the silent treatment and I he thinks I will eventually go back to him. Well he spent my whole life training me to be scared of him so there's no way I'm going near him again.

[@melanie-sq5bs]

sounds like a psychopath. I’m so sorry you had to grow up around that.

[@clairejones624]

That sounds terrible. I’m sorry. I think he’s a psychopath, not a malignant narcissist.

[@MakaylaCole123]

My oldest sister is a malignant narcissist I feel bad bc she was the oldest and something VERY Traumatic happened to her. Smh. It's very sad... but I stay away from her bc she's evil!

[@bellahnemetona5924]

Can't thank you enough for those series! This is so easy to understand and find logic in to it. Thank you 💚

[@LucyLocketful]

It's such a relief to hear in depth about it. Three years ago I'd gone to the doctor and broken down, saying I'd been for nearly 7 years with a narcissist, and I had a feeling I had PTSD (incredibly jumpy and tearful, and my body was in a perpetual tremor for over a year - I lost three-quarters of a stone, and I'd been only 7.75 stone to begin with). They didn't really know what I was talking about. I'm not sure even many therapists in the UK would know. Thank you for putting it all so clearly and with great understanding and kindness. It reassures me that I hadn't been going mad - though I felt very much on the edge of doing so at the time.

[@amieanderson9827]

I think it's only now and at the bare minimum being recognised in medical terms in the UK.

[@genevalawrence801]

Wow. Thank you, Dr. Ramani. My ex is a malignant narcissist, and these videos provide clarity.

[@AchievingIndifference]

My mother is a covert narcissist...my sister is a malignant narcissist. I grew up being scapegoated, gaslighted, and triagulated. I have learned through experience no contact, no communication is the only way. I have to be the one to suffer for no contact, because they are entitled to be everywhere. These videos make me realize I'm better off... they are so validating to me. Much appreciated. I feel so sorry for all the children that have to endure them.. that I had to leave behind

[@michellehoward5318]

I was driven to overdose trying to escape the emotional torture. In that state of mind I couldn't even see what he had done to me. We've been apart 2 1/2 months. Although I feel hopeful for the future without his imposition of arbitrary "rules" and consequences for perceived violations. But I finally get it that I will never really know (bc he would hold that info hostage just like everything else I needed from him) if he conspires to inflict pain with a systematic checklist or if this is the natural sequence of behaviors (subconsciously) delivered to exact a response that supplies his bottomless hole of need through infliction of pain. And I just don't care what the answer is anymore. My answer is to stay as far from him as possible for the rest of my life.

[@robertgates2769]

Is there such a thing as a hybrid narcissist? So far she has fit exactly into both series you put out. She played the pity card all the time lining up with covert definition but the vindictiveness she had to punish people is off the chart as stated here. She truly scared me with the rage she had. It is sad to think someone like that has no idea the debris field they leave behind in their wake.

[@bellarose6501]

That was my question. Can they be a mix of a few different narcissists? I never new which one he would be from day to day. Confusing and scary. The rage was off the charts.

[@teachasp6316]

That's my ex. It's been over a decade, and I'm still suffering with complex PTSD.

Thank u Dr. Ramani for the granular identifications. While most of us have experienced garden variety narcissists the classification you've described as dark triangle and the next level of psychopathy is a trainwreck which takes a long transformation to recover from. I feel there are 2 challenges. The 1st; getting back to zero, recovering from trauma. The 2nd, restructuring your responses to insure a new norm of peaceful functioning. This is an unpleasant but necessary journey. Being prey to this level of destruction is no coincidence. We need to learn and unlearn habits, beliefs, etc. How rebuilding works is individual but any skills we can benefit from is appreciated!

[@antoinette8519]

My mother was a violent malignant covert narc who beat me almost daily. When she was not beating me up physically and/or emotionally she gave express permission to my violent malignant covert narc fraternal twin sister to beat me me up physically and emotionally. I lived in fear of those two every day. It's no wonder that I later married two malignant covert narcs. Thankfully I divorced my mother and sister and also each of my malignant narc husbands. I am still trying to heal from their narc abuse. I still suffer from anxiety and depression. Dr. Ramani thank you for helping me to heal. I use your excellent videos in conjunction with therapy.

[@donnajoseph-barford1076]

I'm so glad you done the series of the different types of Narcissist. I have learned so much. Thank you.

[@libbyrosewellnesschannel3398]

Dr Ramani, you and Lisa A Romano are my favorite teachers on codependency & narcissistic abuse. I love Ross Rosenbergs term Self Love Deficit Disorder in terms of codependency. It's so true, waking up to who we are & seeing how we have been manipulated by people, parents, friends, & other relationships. I came from sexual abuse, domestic violence, & only realizing the last few years how much verbal abuse & manipulation I experienced growing up. Just realizing how codependent I was & many narcissistic traits myself. My children are almost all grown now & I am reteaching them with help from people like you. It's wonderful waking up & beginning to break the cycle. Thank you ❤️ 👼🙏🌈

[@lorettanericcio-bohlman567]

Hallelujah and congratulations. You my friend should be given the Nobel Peace Award

[@gingergirl8797]

Mine wou!d not let me go Every time I tried to get away he would hunt me down and of course the abuse got worse. He wou!d say "...no one will Ever leave me..". Depression , anxiety and chronic fear have made my life really difficult. He was a serial cheater and abuser, mental, verbal abuser, etc. This list makes me wonder how and why I survived.

[@joesaccone9366]

This is music to me hear. Thank you Dr.Ramani again and again. Your reward will be immense.

[@margaritaescobedo841]

I'm learning how to stay safe from these people. Even if I meet someone new. Be it a new family, or new relationship. You're saving us all that are watching and learning. Love all your videos. I'll definitely keep watching. 💖

[@sherebelled6728]

Your channel has helped me so much. You’re a good teacher.

[@morgantaylor442]

Dr. Ramani I cannot thank you enough for this series!!!!! You've changed my life in the best way possible!!

[@mayachill1285]

yes this is my father 100 percent. he once told my mother to pick between me and him and he told me he would rather go broke then to give me a penny (he was throwing me out of the house for the 3rd time at thag piont knowing i had no money and nowhere to go ) he beat my mother down so badly emotionally over the years she ended up choosing him.

[@nadiyac844]

Thanks for being brave enough to share your story and I'm so sorry you had to got through that. You didn't deserve that.

[@delia8392]

I had a similar experience between my father and mother. The most painful part was not beeing able to help the victim (my mother) who stays in the situation because it is emotionally so wracked. And not seeing that she could simply leave the situation but insisting that it is not ok to leave because of stupid reasons.

[@Sorryscene]

All monsters are human.

Whoa! This is awesome info. Explains a lot! I’m not sure whether to stand tall and strong with my new knowledge or sit in a corner and cry.

[@amandacausey9450]

I am most grateful for you, Dr. Ramani!! Thank you for your help and support and guidance! Many Blessings to you!! 🙏🏻💗🌈

[@tlove6932]

Thank you so much for your valuable information! Keep up the awesome work. I never realized that my acute anxiety & PTSD came from that far back in my life. So scary.

[@agapewithadot]

Once again, Dr. Ramani, you’ve continued to so accurately summarize and capture so many of the aspects of my father. It’s opening a path to understanding and growth for me and I appreciate it so, so, so much. Thank you

[@hollyharte7831]

Yes oh my word 💯💯💯💯💣💥 Love your channel and so grateful 🙏🏼

[@LaFayette3110]

Thank you so much! Especially with the videos on how to deal with it. I'm seeing narcissists everywhere and dealing with the "you're so vindictive!" push back of going no contact! I'm new to this, keep 'em coming!

[@lusalmon955]

Boom, boom BOOM! Knocking it out, Dr. Ramani!!!Thank you!!🌸

[@cherylthompson2731]

You are saving lives, doctor.

[@lucywoolcot1159]

Thankyou for joining the dots Dr Ramani❤

[@lucylovejoy7560]

Thanks so much for explaining where this disorder is likely to have come from. My time with a narc was brief but hit deep. Luckily have had the chance to really take a good look as to why I was vunerable to him. Strangely my narc seems to have elements of all 3 of the types you've mentioned so far, but mostly the first type. My feelings go out to those who suffer much worse than myself! Hold in there, respect yourself for coming this far! All the best for the future!

[@JuliaCha]

Love this video, Dr. Ramani. You were basically describing my dad to every detail. I don't know how many times I went to therapy and my stories seemed to shock the therapist... which meant that I couldn't trust they could help me. I eventually did find a great therapist to help with this. Thank you for this video. I felt 100% understood.

[@drcooper7516]

Really useful to understand the difference between psychopathy and narcissism, malignant covert narcissism is what my father had, and my subsequent partners. Definitely you are offering this community of survivors and people studying this pervasive psychological issue in our world more clarity, thank you. I believe you have your finger on the pulse when you say it is the epidemic of our time, it really is. Your new book "Don't you know who I am" is really well researched and written, I highly recommend it.

[@JudeScott007]

I find myself so willing to listen to Dr Rominy...I'll watch these videos for hours. She helps me fit the puzzle pieces of my life together. I can't thank her enough!

[@Narcshield]

You are so amazing. I am loving your channel and recommending . 💓

[@FrancesShear]

Doctor Ramani your videos are being done in a way that leaves little doubt about how genuine your intentions are about wanting to help others for real instead of only getting more sign up tuition fees or whatever else might go along with that. I hope you along with other professionals trying to educate too do get compensation for your valuable time so that you can enjoy richer family life rewards too.

[@pietam6]

Thank you for doing this deep dive, into the differences between psychopathology and malignant narcissism. In a strange way, it is comforting to understand this so well, and survive. Unlikely, as it appeared for such a long time… Deeply grateful for this work…🌺

[@lsunstein]

My father was a malignant narc. I was always afraid. My brother took on the role of abuse. I grew up with such PTSD. So much anxiety. You have hit it on the head. I am so much better.

[@jennh.9325]

Exactly! Domestic abuse victims are experiencing both physical & emotional abuse.

[@breebeal3344]

This is an excellent series! I'm learning alot. Looking forward to part 3 tomorrow.

[@Canaday291]

My ex “husband “ is the extreme form of malignant npd and he’s an alcoholic . He has caused so much irreversible mental and physical damage to my children and I on his ongoing abusive evil path I now continue to pick up the pieces of his diabolical destruction to my children by educating and protecting them from his abuse and oppressive control with therapy

[@lmh7121]

Like your new backdrop. It looks great. Thank you, as always, for the content of these videos.

[@victoriaserna1495]

Thank you sooo much!!!!! I needed to hear this! and figure out if a certain person was either a narcissist or a psychopath.. Sharing this information for clarity of the family affected. This person tried public humiliating me in exchange for an apology of something i never did. She took it further and things got so ugly.. legal wise, that I felt like i should have given in to shut her up, but I didn't... man do i have stories that are scary....

[@victoriaserna1495]

Gordon Fornow i have diagnoses questions too, but what we do have is the DSM 5, and after doing some research I feel this kind of narcissist (in my story) is someone that has narcissistic personality disorder... the family even agrees. I feel Dr. Ramani should do a video differentiating between malignant narc, NPD, and antisocial PD. As far as the legal stuff, Im so sorry to hear that. But the people who don’t get it will have their lessons to learn when they realize who’s hiding in plain sight. No one else can take away the fact you’re a good person- Knowing this has kept me strong and unbreakable because that is something a narcissist can never be or fake. Darkness comes to light and I pray you have your day 🙏🏼

[@oliverhill113]

Thank you so much Dr Ramani for sharing your very helpful knowledge on the subject of Narcissism. You are like a gifted artist who paints with words to describe all these personalty types and produce a clearly recognisable image, albeit the image of a damaged person.

[@priancavail6520]

This is amazing Dr Ramani. I experienced ALOT of this an soooo Happy I am out of the relationship!! I do feel like I have PTSD. My therapist doesn’t appear to know how to deal with Malignant Narcs. You ate teaching me know more than anything I have found anywhere else!! Thank you do much and may the Lord bless and keep you Dr!!🙏😊🌹

[@kmax2584]

Thank you Dr. Ramani! I was in a relationship with a malignant narcissist off and on for 7 years and it included domestic violence. I'm out now and the post relationship effects for me are exactly as you described. Thank you for this, it's so very validating and helps me with my healing process!

[@sallyshepherd8709]

The awareness of Narcissistic abuse and the need for therapists , support groups and knowledge is increasing. Thank you Dr Ramani for this well expressed information, for providing a platform for sharing and making it accessible to the public. Often it is those who can’t afford help That need it most.

[@jillallcock]

I'm just too mentally exhausted at the moment to describe the nightmare I exist in at the moment. I just wanted to thank you for putting this out for those of us grapilling with dealing with this type of narcissist and also trying to understand and deal with the results of this abuse. I've come a long way on my own, totally and utterly alone and isolated. So much so that my x us not only the perpetrator but is my only source of any support at all. I have to prepare myself if I need any relief from the gang stalking psychological torture and fear that gaslighting, physical violence and coersive control creates will also be present. I've been needing to escape and leave w just the clothes on my back, Losing my home and everything in it. My destiny is calling. Dark night if the soul is indescribable. My biggest hurdle is my sentimentality over stuff, memories and wanting to save things for my kids. But these malignant narcs and their gang stalkers know this and have stolen things like future wedding gifts and things for my not yet existing grand kids. Because of the stress I do not feel like I will live to experience these milestones personally so they r targeting these very things just to hurt me. It's cruel and pure evil. The normal person I don't believe can say they even know what evil really looks and feels like. Unfortunately I can. There's been at least 21 crimes including attempted murder done to me. Cops and other authorities do not believe me and I have now become a victim of not only the abuse and stalking of the malignant narc but also by authorities and community mobbing. Under surviellace 24/7, home bugged, followed everywhere, harrassed (people in public talking about my personal sex life for example). A targeted individual. I believe stemming from others believing the lies and smear campaign of the narc. Blessings to all. Thank u again for the videos that r not only validating but things I can share with family, counselors etc to explain my experience. ♥️Jily

[@my.dailymotivations]

Thank you Dr. Ramani for all your amazing videos. I have a close friend who is a malignant narcissist. I always new something fundamental was 'off ' with him but I could never really figure out exactly what was behind it. After someone called him a narcissist, I decided to do some research and I found your videos on KZbin. He displays every trait and characteristic that you describe. Now I really understand what drives and motivates his behaviour. Thank you so much for your amazing work. Its helped me to understand all the gasslighting, devaluing, degradation and other forms of abuse that have confused me and made me feel less of a person. I now know that I'm not to blame. Keep up the amazing work.

[@Paula-pv7ep]

Yep had to fight two of these people in court .One was my ex mother in law.

Lol thank you Dr .Anouther big day ! Life is fun keep pressing on !

[@su-enaahleebeautifulcontra3617]

I am currently with someone that is a malignant narcissist and you describe it exactly how he is. my mother on the other hand I think is a covert narcissist. This is a debilitating experience for anyone to go through. Thank you Dr. Ramani for taking the time and care to get this information to a lot of us hurting souls. This helps me understand what I'm dealing with and how to get out of the victim mentality that he put me in to endure his abuse. I was vibrant and determined when I met him and I have come to the point of apathy. For him...
