"Your friends and family targeted and used by the narcissist are also being conned."

Good for you figuring thsi Bozo out. One of my daughters is doing this to me! It's terrible, but that article describes her to a T. She is the victim of my divorcing her father... 36 years ago! She just started this line of victimhood when he died six years ago. So far, most of my family is not saying much to me about it. They see me and know me and are smart enough not to listen to a person who talks about their mother derogatively. But I think a little sliver is getting into my sister. I can do nothing about it. Nothing.
