Narcissists, covert narcissists (aka "empaths"), and psychopaths hijacked the narcissistic abuse community online. From self-styled coaches to wannabe "experts" to outright con artists, it is a lucrative, grandiose, and entitled swamp to rival Washington's. 

I coined the phrase "narcissistic abuse" - and much of the rest of the language besides - in 1995. 

Until 2004, I ran the first (and, for a while, only) website on Narcissistic Personality Disorder and the only 5 support groups available. I regret that I did. I wanted to give victims an outlet and a vocabulary to describe their experiences. Instead, I opened the floodgates to scammers and worse.
