This is understanding today's narcissist.

This is the last in our series of narcissistic abuse tactics.

And so today we're going to talk about how the narcissists use courts to continue their

abuse. This is a really popular

one for some narcissists because courts allow them the ability to be on center stage. It

allows them to show off their charming personality all while getting back at you in some kind of

way. So, you know, even if the abuse of marriage or relationship

or business partnership wasn't bad enough, the narcissist loves to escalate things by threatening

legal action. And in this way, the legal system actually becomes an unknowing and unwilling

extension of the narcissistic arm that reaches out to cause as much

damage to you as humanly possible. They have this take no prisoner's attitude that stops at

absolutely nothing when they're trying to seek revenge for causing, for the fact that you cause

them some kind of pain over some perceived,

whether it's real or imagined, embarrassment.

They just love to come after you and they especially love to use the courts.

So we're going to talk about eight different ways in which they do this.

There are more ways, but I'm just going to talk about the ones that I see the most

and then occur unnecessary expenses.
