Smear Campaign

I remember hearing about this phenomenon where the narcissist will launch a smear campaign against her/his husband/wife if the relationship ws genuinely threatened or actually ending. I remember feeling relieved because I knew this wouldn’t happen to me. As bad and all as Susan is, she’s unlikely to do that I figured.

How wrong was I?

The smear campaign is happening and includes the following:

• Drunk ranting about me to a high-profile influential figure in our local town.
• Drunk ranting about me in the local pub to everybody and anybody.
• Getting a social worker to write up a report on me detailing false accusations of sexual violence, physical violence, rage, parental-alienation and a whole host of other accusations.
• Telling a pack of lies about me to her Therapist.
• Spreading roomers that I’m an alcoholic.
• Spreading roomers that I’m a pedophile.
• Accusing me of temper, rage, violence, intimidation, threat, neglect, alienation and God knows what else to a whole host of her friends who have been resurrected for the occasion after years of ignoring them.
• Almost daily, she threatens to “expose me” to the company I work for. HR and my manager will be informed apparently.
• Badmouthing me to the parents of Emma’s friends (alienating Emma in the process which I find particularly hard to cope with).

She constantly threatens to “expose” all those “dirty little secrets” as she calls them to my friends and family but I’m reasonably sure she’s fearful to go there because I’d say she knows all too well they already know the reality.
