Fake Love and Flying Monkeys

Covert Narcissist Returns After Ghosting: What You Need to Know


Listen Later

They ghost you, block you, abuse you—then pop up like nothing ever happened. Why?

In this eye-opening episode of Fake Love and Flying Monkeys, we unpack one of the most confusing behaviours in narcissistic abuse: when the narcissist reappears with selective amnesia and zero accountability. Whether they send a flirty text, a casual “hey,” or act like everything’s fine after days (or weeks) of cruel silence, there’s always a strategy behind it.

I explain exactly what this behaviour means, why it’s not love or remorse, and what you can do to protect yourself when they try to slither back in.

We’ll cover:
– Why they come back after hurting you
– What hoovering is and how to spot it
– How trauma bonding keeps you hooked
– What their silence, blocking, and ghosting are really about
– The dangerous cycle of abuse and false reconciliation

This one’s for anyone who’s ever been left confused, heartbroken, and manipulated by the narcissist’s fake “return.”
