“Love bombing” stage.

They do that and basically condition you for abuse mentally and emotionally.

Then they move to the “devaluing” stage….jumping back and forth between this and the first stage while literally draining you of your energy, resources, identity, etc.

Finally they move to the “discard” stage, once they have drained you of everything and you have nothing more to give they will literally disappear like you never existed all while conveniently having new “supply” (aka a new relationship partner) primed and scouted and ready to move on to (they will never discard you without having a new partner lined up beforehand).

Included in this phase is the smear campaign. They will get their “flying monkeys” to begin to watch you and stalk you. They will use them to threaten you or harass you. They will contact your friends and family and make horrible claims about you. They will do whatever they can to destroy your reputation and image. How do they get people to do this? They tell them they were abused by you. They find the white knight type who wants to protect and defend.

However if YOU discard THEM. Watch the freak out man. You could literally be in danger. This is where things like what happened to me and Josh weeks happens and it’s often to completely innocent people.

Does this sound familiar ?
