Narcissistic Families: It is very common for toxic family members to do a smear campaign in an attempt to scapegoat a survivor. Example? A toxic person will spin a survivor's words and actions to make it look like the victim was intentionally trying to cause problems in the family. In reality, the toxic person manipulated the entire situation in order to isolate the victim from other people - Shannon Thomas
A narcissist's weapon of choice is often verbal- slander, lies, playing the victim in flipped tales of who was the victim and who was the abuser, gossip, rage, verbal abuse and intentional infliction of emotional pain. It is a systematic dismantling of another person's relationships, reputation, emotional, physical and spiritual health, life and very soul. This is why narcissists are so often called " emotional vampires. "- Gail Meyers
It's still domestic violence. They don't have to hit you, choke you, or slam your head into a wall in order for it to be domestic violence. They can degrade you, humiliate you, blame you, scream at you, lie to you, cheat on you, and withhold finances, or even just try to control you. It is still domestic violence.
