Don't ever give a narcissist a "second chance" or generally allow them anywhere near you and your loved ones, don't ever give them even the most apparently inoffensive personal information or agree to the tiniest concession/compromise, they'll use it to f*****g eat you alive. I don't care if they're family and everybody tries to guilt-trip you into it, stay the hell away from such people, they poison everything they touch

Word -- x 1000000
I know you're one of the few who get it, we probably need to learn these things the hard way

What drives me insane is the f*****g "enablers" that go out of their way to guilt-trip and pressure the victims back into that kind of soul-destroying situation because "family is sacred" or some other similar self-righteous BS, not to mention the kind of ridiculous excuses and justifications they come up with! I think I'm starting to hate them even more than the abusers themselves, it's sheer sadism disguised as good intentions.
And it's extremely common for narcissists to have an enabling partner - the only sane and safe thing to do is to stay away from both types, don't buy into "but he/she luuurves you", "they've changed", "they made a few mistakes but they're trying their best" or anything else of this sort. You'll be the one paying the price and it's going to be a crippling one.
Sorry, at least it's the rant section, I'm just so pissed off right now.
