A Failure to Deliver
By Suzanne Degges-White Ph.D.
Who is the real “crazy ex” when a narcissist’s relationship falls apart?
Narcissists who are especially effective at winning the affection and praise of others may also leave a trail of broken relationships behind them once they’ve been found out.
A narcissist wants new conquests to believe that it was he or she who had been the "victim" or the "wounded party" in any previous break-ups. They will lavishly embellish their own good qualities as they enthusiastically vilify their exes.
