Show notes

What is narcissistic abuse, and how can you recognize it in a relationship, family, friendship, or workplace? In this video, Lee Hammock explains common patterns associated with narcissistic abuse, including love bombing, gaslighting, manipulation, blame shifting, control, isolation, devaluation, and emotional abuse.

Why an Abusive Person Breaks Up With You First Sep 14, 2026

Show notes

Why do abusive people suddenly break up with you, discard you, or move on as if you never mattered? In this video, Lee Hammock explains how a toxic or narcissistic person may leave when they are losing control, being held accountable, facing consequences, or seeking new validation. The discard can be used to punish you, create confusion, provoke you into chasing them, or make them feel powerful again. Their decision to leave does not erase the abuse or prove you were not enough. Learn how to stop chasing closure from someone who may use the breakup itself as another form of control.

How Do Abusive People Act When They Realize You're Leaving For Good? Sep 08, 2026

Show notes

What happens when an abusive or toxic person realizes you are leaving for good? In this live discussion, Lee Hammock talks about common reactions such as love bombing, guilt trips, promises to change, anger, blame shifting, smear campaigns, threats, and attempts to regain control. Not every person will react in the same way, but changes in behavior and escalation should be taken seriously. If you are planning to leave and feel unsafe, consider creating a safety plan, documenting concerning behavior where safe to do so, and reaching out to trusted local resources. You deserve safety, support, and the freedom to leave without being punished for it.

Why a Narcissist Refuses to Say Anything Nice About You Sep 07, 2026

Show notes

Why do narcissists struggle to compliment the people closest to them? In this video, Lee Hammock explains how withholding praise, affection, and validation can become part of a toxic relationship dynamic. A narcissistic person may minimize your accomplishments, criticize you after a compliment, praise strangers while ignoring you, or make you feel like you must earn basic kindness. Learn why their lack of affirmation is not proof that you are unattractive, unsuccessful, or unworthy. Recognizing this pattern can help you stop chasing validation from someone committed to withholding it.

Why Narcissists “Forget” Everything They Did to You Sep 05, 2026

Show notes

Why does a narcissist claim they do not remember the things they said or did to hurt you? In this video, Lee Hammock explains how narcissistic people may use selective memory, denial, minimization, blame shifting, and revisionist history to avoid accountability. This is not always genuine forgetfulness it can be part of a larger pattern that makes you doubt your own memories and feelings. Learn why arguing for an admission often keeps you stuck and how to focus on the pattern instead of chasing validation. Their refusal to acknowledge the harm does not erase what happened to you.

Show notes

Why do narcissists need you to depend on them? In this video, Lee Hammock explains how a narcissistic or controlling person may fear being replaceable and try to create emotional, financial, sexual, or practical dependence. Learn why withholding affection, delaying support, rushing commitment, controlling choices, and creating obstacles can make someone feel powerful or needed. This pattern is not love or partnership.
