One common trait of both narcissists and addicts is they often play the blame game, shifting their bad behavior off onto others. Especially when emotional abuse is present, it become easy, normal even, to accept the blame. It must be my fault, right? Sometimes that is easier than accepting the destructive patterns of those we love. But, it isn't your fault. This is gaslighting. You can not force someone to act out, no matter how annoying and faulted you are. This episode will empower you to know you are never to blame and offer strategies of how to push back and fight the blame game.
