You are right on target, Cody. My ex-husband said all ten things on a regular basis. Unfortunately, I just realized my current husband says about five of them. God, that sucks.
This reads like a play-by-play of how my mother always spoke to me growing up (and still would if I let her get away with it). Great advice, all of it spot on.
Wow this was helpful! My ex-husband used all of these and now I’m starting to see the same tendencies in one of my daughters which is anxiety-producing

Every narcissist will hate this post that decodes their destructive tactics to control others.
Have had, I think, 9/10 of these phrases used on me before.
I no longer associate with those walking headaches
Yeah. All this and more but I stood up to it anyway. (Got me disinherited but my life was mine for once!) Sounds like you knew my mother, too!
This is exactly the reason we knew who trump was the first time he spoke in 2015 - we've had way too much practice with manipulators like him.
Great list!
