Contempt is a primary feature in the narcissistic cycle of abuse. The disordered individual must demonize and shift the blame to their partner so they can play the victim and walk away with their good-guy image intact. They actually believe in their own revisionist history and altered reality. Because they do not have object constancy, their significant source of fuel intimate partner is either painted black or white and out of sight out of mind. Actually, they are completely out of their mind, always down the rabbit hole with magical thinking and no concept of reality. They said they loved you yesterday, but today...they hate everything about you?
