Someone told me that her new hubby is out there ‘defending’ her now (extoling all the wonderful things about her)… This is the beginning of his conditioning, the “flying monkey” stage has started (and she is in “covert” mode). As stated in the Dual Mothership Model she has already presented herself to him as a “child trapped in a burning building, please come save me” (the same thing she did to me in the past, several times (see text messages from her on other pages)). This is normal NPD behavior (I didn’t know it then but do now).
As shown in this video, that is the 1st stage of the devaluation cycle, and it is right on schedule of a Narcissist rebound relationship. This is the first part of the devaluation training to create the trauma bond (pleasure punishment reward system).
The next part should be “triangulation” – where she uses her past relationship with me to do 2 things: 1) Explain why she did “bad thing here” or 2) Compare his activities to my old ones (and that is why she got triggered). This should be an attempt to trigger him to push harder to ‘win her love’ (the child needs saving again, from these dark and horrible memories of what ‘he’ did to me /cry /cry… — it is all fake, but he is already in too deep to recognize that at this point). She may even start comparing him to his friends, or even start claiming that “so-and-so” is flirting with me (while she is the one flirting with them. She hated a few of my friends because they told me when she did it to them; while a few just had sex with her and never said a thing).
This is all intended to trigger the competitive nature to ‘keep her’
Of course all of this (up to this point) is predicted and normal for a rebound NPD (sociopath).
