It’s true, the Narcissist an do a lot of underhanded, hurtful things. After all of their emotional abuse from their untreated narcissistic personality disorder, they really have it coming to them.
But do we want to seek revenge?
Revenge on the Narcissist- to take or not to take. Licensed therapist Melinda Haynes considers revenge.
Partners of narcissists are tired of all the narcissistic abuse and narcissistic rage. Many are looking for a way to get even or wondering if revenge is an option. Some have considered a revenge affair or divorce or worse.
