They abuse you through the wallet and by stealing and hiding your things. They always pretend to be broke in front of you, showing an empty wallet when it comes to meeting your needs and expenses. But they always have money in abundance for their mother, their friends, and their own luxury. Not only that, they steal things from you as well. Small items, like money and cards, disappear, and they do it on purpose to trouble you. They intentionally hide keys to make you go crazy, making you think you have dropped them somewhere.
They take the things that matter to you the most—things you use daily, things that keep your routine stable—and make them disappear. They don’t need these things; they take them to watch your reaction, to create chaos on purpose, and to feel superior while you stand there, confused, frustrated, and doubting yourself. Narcissists love creating tiny disruptions that only you notice because it isolates you emotionally. It makes you feel like you are the problem; it makes you think you are careless, forgetful, neglectful, and irresponsible.
They want you to believe all of that. They want you to feel like you are losing control of yourself and your environment. This is psychological warfare that leaves no visible evidence. And what makes this abusive and darker is how calmly they do it. They will watch you search the entire house with tears in your eyes, panic, and they’ll pretend to have no idea what you’re looking for. They’ll sit there with a straight face while your heart races, while you retrace your steps, while you question your own sanity. They enjoy the power of knowing that one tiny item, a card, a small amount of cash, or something else can completely derail your day and shake your confidence.
They enjoy seeing how easily your peace can be destroyed in the environment they build—where nothing is stable, nothing is predictable, and nothing is safe. This is how they train your mind to live in survival mode, to stay anxious, to stay small, and to stay dependent on them. This is not forgetfulness. This is not a mistake. This is calculated emotional sabotage disguised as everyday inconvenience.
