When the Narcissists New Supply Turns Out to Be a Secret Psychopath
The Humiliating Reality When Their ‘Bit on the Side’ Turns Out to Be as Crazy as They Are
Narcissists will never learn that it’s not safe to be toxic to everybody.
Certainly not to the psychopath who might seem outwardly calm right now, but will trap them in physical and mental torment when they start their mind games.
Since they’re quite similar, you would be forgiven for thinking that both the narcissist and the psychopath would get along famously.
But usually, the narcissist’s mind games spark the wrath of the psychopath and after that, they will torment each other.
A relationship between the two of them can sometimes look like a domestically abusive relationship.
Psychopaths can occasionally be sadists, so this can get particularly nasty with both sides looking to inflict harm on the other, with the psychopath enjoying it.
This happened to my malignant narcissist brother Luke when he divorced his lovely first wife to marry his second who turned out to be a violent psychopath.
He would be on the phone with my narcissistic mom as I walked through the door back home from school.
