How to leave a narcissist?

Key principles: go 'gray rock' (minimal emotional response), limit contact as quickly as possible, do not JADE (justify, argue, defend, explain), and build your support network before announcing your departure. Expect intense manipulation. Document concerning behavior. If safety is a concern, plan your exit carefully with support. Lovon provides emotional support during this difficult process — a private space to process manipulation and rebuild your sense of self.
