"They don’t mellow with age—they just master new ways to manipulate."
In this insightful episode of Fake Love and Flying Monkeys, we explore the 10 key behaviours of the ageing narcissist—from guilt-tripping to rewriting history, and everything in between.

"Age doesn’t soften narcissism—it sharpens the need for control."
As narcissists grow older, their usual tools—like charm and intimidation—may lose their power. What takes their place? Increased emotional manipulation, health-based guilt tactics, and a desperate scramble for relevance.

Their fear of being forgotten fuels their most toxic behaviours.
I’ll share real-life stories from my counselling practice, including ageing parents who use declining health to control adult children, or narcissistic elders who deny any wrongdoing from the past. Whether you're dealing with a narcissistic parent, partner, or even a colleague nearing retirement, this episode will help you spot the patterns and protect your peace.

You’ll also learn how the ageing narcissist’s fragile ego drives attention-seeking, denial, and blame-shifting—and what you can do to emotionally detach and safeguard your boundaries.
