Are You Stuck in a Narcissist's Drama Triangle?

[ARPad95]

2. Karpman Triangle is exactly what a malignant narcissist needs to thrive!

The healthy/iest 3rd person needs to wake up and step (or run if necessary) away. The narcissist and his enabler, usually someone with borderline personality disorder (BPD), will destroy each other.

Trump and his base are the narcissist and enabler, respectively. We are the healthy(iest) 3rd person. They need a healthy person involved in their craziness to legitimize their behavior.

DO NOT GET SUCKED INTO THE KARPMAN TRIANGLE! Set and hold boundaries and let the narcissist and enabler have their rage/extinction bursts (temper tantrums on the narcissist's part and veiled suicide threats on the the BPD enabler's part) to try to suck the 3rd person back in. They HATE boundaries and will do everything to smear/destroy the reputation of the 3rd person.
