  My Mother once furiously slapped me in the face for questioning her. I raised my arm to block the next hit to which she responded "How dare you raise your hand against your own Mother!" as though defending myself meant attacking her. From narcissistic rage to being the vulnerable victim in a split second!

  Yup they win the argument by being louder and angry to make you shut up

  “A narcissist paints a picture of themselves as being the victim or innocent in all aspects. They will be offended by the truth. But what is done in the dark will come to light. Time has a way of showing people’s true colors.”<br>— Karla Grimes

  The narcissist who just discarded me could not be disagreed with or questioned without flying into a rage just like a three year old. I&apos;ve never seen anything like this before except in a two or three year old.

  Narcissists have a ‘criticism radar’ they are continually scanning every situation to assess for criticism or slight.

  Don’t forget that they are happy to get positive criticism just not any criticism that conflicts their delusion.

  &apos;Controlled by anger&apos; my whole childhood was about making sure we didn&apos;t upset my father. It wasn&apos;t just about being hit or slapped (although that is part of it). On some level as a child his disproportionate anger to events, these rages my father would fly into were truly frightening and weird to me. <br><br>I remember working it out to myself at 5 or 6 that I needed to avoid my dad when his eyes looked scary and his hair was messy (he would run his fingers through his hair when he was angry). You do end up being crippled by fear of upsetting someone.

  Oh nooo. Rage doesn&apos;t happen Even if criticism is fair. It happens ESPECIALLY if criticism is fair...

  Ive literally been assualted to where my head was slammed on the ground and he looked in my face afterwards and told me “I never did that to you, your lying. You need to get mental help.” Covert Narcissistic personality are one of the evils of the world.

  I was the victim of severe rage when the narc was afraid of a stressful upcoming event which might test him in some way or also if he experienced a loss of some kind. &nbsp;Also, the rage would happen if I disobeyed him over something which to me was silly-like buying pickles or &nbsp;talking to a neighbor. &nbsp;The day after the rage he would seem more relaxed and acted as if it never happened. Never any apologies and it would be very dangerous to bring it up.
