Number four: do not believe a word that comes out of their mouth.
Anything they say must be confirmed by evidence before you can believe a single word that comes out of their mouths. Narcissists are pathological liars, so nothing they say can be taken at face value. If they are badmouthing someone else to you or possibly an ex, I would not put any merit in anything they say about someone else in a derogatory tone because it’s likely a smear campaign and not true. If they tell you something that you cannot back up with tangible evidence, then I would just make it a rule that you should not believe what they are saying. Again, all narcissists are pathological liars. Also, the truth to a narcissist is whatever version benefits them in that moment, and as their needs and desires change, so will the truth. So the truth can change from day to day or moment to moment. Genuine honesty and truthfulness mean nothing to the narcissist unless, of course, the actual truth benefits them personally. If it does not, then they will manipulate the truth to suit their needs.
Number five: do not expect any genuine loyalty from a narcissist.
Narcissists are loyal to one person and one person only, and that is themselves and whatever they want in that moment. You cannot depend on a narcissist for anything, especially loyalty. This is sometimes hard for a target to comprehend because, usually, we are extremely loyal, often to a fault. So we tend to think that other people are as loyal as we are, and when you’re dealing with a narcissist, they don’t know the meaning of the word loyalty unless, of course, they’re referring to themselves.
Number six: do not believe that they will ever be a good parent or a cooperative and helpful co-parent.
Narcissists are terrible parents, and not only do they not co-parent, they counter-parent. They want to make things as difficult and destructive for your life as humanly possible, and they have no problem using the children in order to achieve the chaos they so enjoy creating. If you have a child with a narcissist, you need to understand that you will be the only real parent that child has, and you will need to try to be both a mom and a dad to your children.
