"If they're playing the victim role, ask yourself: are they really the victim, or is their playing the victim role causing YOU to be the one who's suffering?" 🤔💔

In relationships with covert narcissists, the dynamic is often that you suffer for them to be okay. When it comes to divorce, this same manipulation can continue—making you feel guilty and making excuses for their behavior.

🌱 Be aware of the pattern: If you're always making excuses for your ex's behavior and justifying why you're suffering, it’s a red flag.
💡 Recognize that your peace matters and you don’t need to carry the weight of their manipulation anymore.
🔑 Take control of your future and stop enabling their toxic behavior.
