I’ve seen a lot of arguments about abusers “just not being aware they’re abusing you” but pretty much every case of abuse I’ve heard of had a lot of escape sabotage and prevention of victim getting away, can you explain to me if those abusers didn’t have any clue that they were hurting the victim, why were they so strategically making sure the victim couldn’t easily get away? Why did they all know the victim had a good reason to get away from them, and went out of their way to make victim feel guilty, scared, dependent, threatened or at lack of resources to leave? Why are abusers all so desperate to have the victim believe that everything is victim’s fault? If they believed no harm was done on their part, wouldn’t they hear out the victim and try to help them, as a genuine human being would?

“They didn’t know they were abusing” is a lie. They all know very well what they’re doing. They say it because they want to keep doing it, and evade any and all responsibility for their actions.

Thank you all for the feedback on my first comic! I hope you enjoy the second installment of “Understanding NPD” just as much. I’m going to keep advocating for us narcs and fingers crossed that these comics will spread so more people can learn about and help de-stigmatize NPD.
