Dealing with a Narcissist
You may ask, how do I deal with such a person? First of all, if you’re living with someone like this, leave. I know it’s not easy, especially if you have kids, but going no contact and creating some distance is mandatory. They will keep stealing your work and displaying it as their own, which means credit will go to them, and that is unjust. If you can take action, take action. If you can document things, documentation is extremely important. Don’t reveal what you are up to. Keep your cards close to your chest and document everything. They definitely leave loopholes behind, make mistakes, and provide evidence for you to prove that you are the original one.
Documentation includes keeping records of conversations, phone calls, emails, and live interactions. If you can take videos or record phone calls, do it. Keep a track record of your work and theirs, and establish a connection between the two to show a pattern. This matters to you because you have a wounded conscience that might tell you how horrible you are, especially if you have imposter syndrome, which many children of narcissistic parents struggle with. Show yourself that you are not at fault. If necessary, you can expose them later, but you shouldn’t have to because their facade will eventually fall. They will run out of their narcissistic fuel and have to move on. Give them minimal supply and keep doing your good work.
