This woman has a weak personality despite her superiority complex, however, and wouldn't risk losing the material benefits she derives from being friends with the stepmother to stick up for me.
Come to think of it, this person privately harbored some of the same grievances against the stepmother that I do. She remains (trauma) bonded to the stepmother though, because the stepmother does things for her and her kids that she can't afford to do herself.

When Auntie came home from the hospital after her stroke, the flying monkey was going to be her live-in caregiver, with free room and board and a small salary besides.
That lasted all of a week before Auntie pissed her off so bad she left.

Battery getting low. I'm gonna fuck off for awhile until I get a chance to recharge it.

I kind of wish this arrangement had worked out, because then the impossible task of "making" the aunt happy wouldn't have fallen on me. I may not have become the stepmother's primary source of narcissistic supply. I may have even flown below her radar for the most part, as long as I paid rent and utilities on time.
It's useless to dwell on what might've been, I know, but also interesting to ponder alternate courses of events.

I'm curious to know who her next supply will be. My dad? Her sister? The flying monkey? The couple who have the cookouts? I can't think of anyone else in her shrinking circle it could be.
Maybe her true self will come out in her work environment. Maybe she'll target a coworker or client. I don't wish ill on any of them, but it would be hilarious if she disintegrated at work and got blacklisted from her profession.

I could get her fired and help her lose her license right now if I wanted to, by telling her boss about her heavy marijuana use, but I'm not that vindictive. And I don't want her coming after me to assuage her wrath. I'll save that ace in case she ever does decide to come after me.

It stopped raining, and it's muggy as fuck all right now. I'm sitting in the car at the park, charging the phone battery. I'm gonna go see if Scott has gone back to the night shelter. If so, I'm gonna open the pop stand.

But it was ALL the flying monkey's fault cuz Auntie never did anything wrong... guaranteed that was the narrative.
Narcissists are the most unhappy people on the planet.

The narcissist and the victim who's had enough.

"Fear me. FEAR ME."
That's the narcissist threatening you with homelessness and destitution.
They get all shocked when you choose anything but them.

The stepmother kept saying she wanted to be there when the flying monkey came to get her stuff. She wanted to give her a browbeating and persuade her to come back, no doubt.
They were estranged for awhile, but they eventually made up. The flying monkey is now a caregiver for a woman around the block from Auntie who is a lot more pleasant to be around.
The main reason I don't trust this flying monkey is that she once tried to get me kicked out so she could have the room I was staying in.

The thing is, I hadn't chosen something other than them at that point. I was still bending over backwards trying to please them. I never gave them any indication that I was about to leave. They must've picked up on it somehow, or heard it from someone I confided in. It's a small town, and people don't have much to talk about other than me, apparently.

They're energy vampires, they feed on your energy itself after causing you pain, suffering, heartache, etc.
The truth was in your energetic field so even though you hadn't said anything, the demon energy sucking entity could still sense it.
It's creepy shit, TBH.
Regardless, there are good doctors and other people with YouTube channels who can put things a lot better than I can and I'm glad you've taken the time to get educated about it.
So much love to you sweetheart, you deserved the freedom even if it comes with struggle... the hard times will pass too.

I doubt the flying monkey was surprised I left. She knew firsthand how shitty they could be.
The couple who have the cookouts are probably happy for me for finally escaping. The husband had also noticed and commented on how they were treating me.
The stepmother's daughter-in-law was definitely not surprised. They had previously pulled the same shit on her, i.e., asking her to cook for Auntie and do all their shopping. And that was before either of them became disabled. That woman makes good money running her own business and doesn't depend on them for anything, so she finally refused to do it anymore.

She didn't have time anyway. She had to get up at all hours to tend to work. She was usually very tired before holidays when a lot of orders came in.

The stepmother didn't make too many demands on my time either at first, when I was working two jobs. It was only after the caregiver deal with the flying monkey fell apart and I was only working a night shift that they decided I had too much free time, and to start monopolizing my time for their benefit.

It was comically absurd how the list of demands kept growing and growing too. All the silly things Auntie decided had to be done for her everyday.

It would be funny if they discovered this thread one day. There are enough details here for them to recognize that I'm me, and I'm talking about them. The funny part would be them learning that all of their friends and orbiters are on to them.

They don't care... narcissists never care about anything you say/think/feel.
They probably wouldn't even recognize that you were talking about them because they can't fathom that they suck that hard.
