A detailed examination of the dynamics in narcissistic relationships, including power, control, entitlement, and abandonment.
Summary
- Narcissistic relationships lack space for two realities, thriving on domination and control, failing when challenged.

- The narcissist's reaction to perceived abandonment or loss of control can range from rage to victimhood to abandonment.
- Setting boundaries is often met with accusations of being controlling, revealing the narcissist's rejection sensitivity.
- Healing involves recognizing the narcissistic cycle and becoming secure within oneself, despite the narcissist's reactions.
Chapter 1
Narcissistic relationships are one-sided, focusing on domination and control.
- Narcissistic relationships can't accommodate two separate realities and are based on one partner dominating and controlling the other.
- Challenging the dynamic leads to the relationship's failure, often resulting in the narcissist either exploding in anger or leaving.
- The relationship relies on the partner's subjugation; once this is challenged, the relationship's untenable nature is exposed.
Chapter 2
Entitlement and specialness are red flags in new narcissistic relationships.
- Early detection of narcissistic red flags is crucial; pay attention to patterns indicating potential issues.
- A red flag is the narcissist's reaction to not being seen as special, which could lead to rage and inadequate behavior.
- Entitlement is a core of narcissism, with narcissists believing they deserve privileges and that rules apply differently to them.
Chapter 3
Narcissists have a heightened sensitivity to abandonment and react negatively to loss of control.
- Narcissists are sensitive to abandonment, which triggers shame and rage when they are not seen as special.
- They retaliate when their special status is challenged, through criticism, threats, or punitive actions.
- Narcissistic individuals can experience abandonment even in minor separations, which reflects their attachment issues.
