YouTube Description

Lundy Bancroft

Mad vs. Sad Victim

Contemptuous vs. Dysregulated Abuser

Perpetrator vs. Abuser as just Another Victim

In narcissistic abuse, the victim is lured into a delusional fantasy, exploited (the 4 Ss), and then discarded offhandedly and cruelly.

In typical abuse, the victim is coercively controlled and punished, sometimes arbitrarily. But there is no fantasy and rarely any exploitation or discard (such abusers are typically stalkers).

The fantasy and the exploitation (use plus abuse) the reason the emotional cost of narcissistic abuse is much higher and the recovery much slower (multiple grief).
