The narcissist initially felt like the greatest love of their life.

People often mistake the bond with a narcissist for deep love due to its intensity, which the support group VKoN asserts is a common misunderstanding. As cracks appear over time, the relationship’s true nature emerges as far from a healthy concept of love. Instead of focusing on the narcissist’s actions, those in such relationships should work towards healing and understanding themselves. The free Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Program (NARP) aims to provide this needed healing.
