Her Specialty: Recovery From Life Downstream From A Terminal Narcissist
She coaches women on successfully breaking ties with a Narcissist. The most deceptive challenge with narcissistic entitlement is their passivity, their nuance of seductive vulnerability whilst planning to use your good will to advance their own interests.  Another point often overlooked, is their fascination with scalability, big numbers. They chase their scalable dragons and eat you for dinner while they smile over your eviscerated heart. Big numbers are their real partner, not you. Success is the identity they chase, and they always forget who helped them when they arrive.
They hint that they will take you with them, but all the apparent signs of thoughtful connectedness only become part of their self-serving game.
