A male narcissist's biggest supporter will always be his mother

 "Have you ever experienced a narcissist’s mother stepping in to defend them or attack you? How did it affect your journey toward healing?"

A male narcissist's biggest supporter will always be his mother. Not only does she stand by his side, but she often actively participates in the abuse and gaslighting of his victims. She knows full well the monster she helped create and she’ll do anything to protect the perfect image she’s built of her son and herself.

These mothers are not innocent bystanders. Women like Mary Ellen Johnson Denio mock and taunt the victims, deflect blame, and enable their son’s destructive behavior. They don’t just stand in the background; they actively post comments and messages, supporting their son’s false narrative as he plays the victim of the very abuse he inflicts. She reassures him how proud she is of his performance, while demonizing the victim at every turn.


Most mothers would never cross the line into such behavior, but mothers like Mary Ellen? They’re desperate, grasping at straws to make sure their version of the story sticks. They’re not content to simply support their son from the sidelines; they take their smear campaign directly to the victim’s pages, spouting insults, discrediting their story, and reinforcing the lies.


This behavior is about more than just loyalty it’s about preserving her son’s crumbling façade at all costs. By publicly attacking his victims, she tries to uphold the illusion of her son’s innocence while burying the truth of the harm he causes.


For the victims, this can feel like an overwhelming battle, fighting not just the narcissist but also the mother who actively works to protect him. Together, they create a system of abuse, manipulation, and gaslighting that traps victims in a seemingly endless cycle.


Understanding this dynamic is critical for survivors seeking to break free. The narcissist’s mother may appear as a loving supporter, but in truth, she’s often the architect of the chaos, ensuring the cycle of abuse continues unchecked.

Toxic traits of covert narcissists

 Welcome to the Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Community Blog and Podcast. Today, we delve into a critical topic that affects many people: the toxic behaviors of covert narcissists. Covert narcissists are often more challenging to identify than their overt counterparts because they hide their narcissism behind a façade of concern and care. This concealment makes their toxic behaviors particularly insidious. Understanding these behaviors is essential for recognizing and protecting yourself from their harmful effects. The first toxic behavior of covert narcissists is hiding and concealing their true identity. They present themselves as caring and concerned individuals, but this is merely a manipulation tactic. Their apparent concern often feels phony or forced. Many targets of narcissists are empaths, who can detect this lack of genuineness through gut instincts and intuition. If you feel that something about their concern is off, it’s likely because it is. Recognizing this false concer...

Why do narcissist’s discard their partners

Narcissists discard their partners cruelly due to several psychological factors rooted in their personality disorder. Understanding these factors can shed light on their behavior and provide some clarity for those who have experienced such treatment. Lack of empathy is one of the defining traits of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). Narcissists often struggle to understand or care about the feelings of others. This makes it easy for them to discard partners without considering the emotional pain they cause. Objectification of partners is another common behavior. Narcissists typically view their partners not as individuals with their own needs and emotions but as objects that serve a purpose. When a partner no longer fulfills the narcissist’s needs—whether it be admiration, validation, or control—they are seen as disposable. Narcissists have a strong need for control. Discarding a partner cruelly can be a way for the narcissist to assert dominance and control. By leaving in a hars...

The concept of the false self is central in understanding NPD

  The concept of the false self is central to understanding Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). Narcissists create a persona that projects an image of perfection, superiority, and invulnerability. This false self is a carefully constructed facade designed to hide their deep-seated insecurities and vulnerabilities. By examining why narcissists develop this false self and its implications, we can better understand their behavior and the challenges in dealing with them. At the core of NPD lies a profound sense of inadequacy and unworthiness. From an early age, many narcissists experience emotional neglect, criticism, or unrealistic expectations from caregivers. These experiences can create an inner void, leading to a fragile self-esteem that is highly sensitive to any form of criticism or failure. To cope with these feelings, narcissists develop a false self that presents an idealized version of who they wish to be. The false self is characterized by grandiosity, entitlement, and...
