Once your relationship with a narcissist comes to a bitter end (they all do) they are very much like the wicked witch of the west deploying these flying monkeys. Picture a puppeteer pulling strings to smear you, lie about you and control you just one last time. They will use your peeps, your friends, your family and get them to do the work for them. This tactic is called flying monkeys. These people that get recruited to further damage you and your reputation have also been tricked by the narcissist to do their bidding. 
Be careful and look at friends and family with a different lens because they will only add insult to injury.

What Are Flying Monkeys Narcissist: Red Flag

TracyAMalone has started a Narcissist Abuse Support channel to help victims understand and get educated on what narcissist abuse is. Many victims like myself did not know what a narcissist was because we were raised by one and the behaviors are similar. This is a journey of healing, sharing, exposing, teaching and learning to be vulnerable. Together we can heal.
