Great article. This is exactly how they operate and the effect they have on your physical and mental health is unbelievable. Most of what they do can never actually be proved. The way they phrase things they make it sound like their abuse is there to help you. The only way out is no contact but once you’ve had kids it’s too late. The alternative is to become like them and document everything they do and go around telling people the truth so your own life doesn’t crumble around you, it’s exhausting! I truly believe these people are the biggest danger to our society.

You definitely nailed it.

Verbatim.

What should one do when the narcissist in question, is a sibling who is also a sovereign citizen/conspiracy theorist who is considered a domestic terrorist according to the FBI, who has done everything you just said, to the letter, AND was/is ALSO involved in spreading DIS-Information re:mass shootings, calling parents of murdered children and DESTROYING them verbally for “pretending to have a murdered child who was killed by an automatic weapon, all in the name of taking away his second amendment rights!”

I could go on about how he manipulated his way into our grandmothers home under the guise of her “medical caretaker” until she passed, and he benefited…

Or…about how he’s doing the same now, to our mother, who has maybe, a few years to live.

He has already used her signature when he sued d. trump and his cabinet members for 10 million each, if either my daughter or my self, dies from getting the Covid-19 vaccine.

Yes, he wants 20 million, if we die from a vaccine, that he spent years claiming is FAKE.

He also lives rent free in the $600,000 home, with an unobstructed view of puget sound, that my mother willed to her only children, (the home that was willed to my mother when my grandmother passed away).

He also started a business years ago that provides all necessary (psuedo legal) paperwork for other converted SovCits, so that they too, can “secure property in their sole name, whether by legal (psuedo or otherwise) means, or by squatting.”

He’s had years to brainwash our Mom (easy target…drugs destroyed her mind, he’s the favorite).

I’m out of my inheritance the second my mom passes away. He’s stealing my retirement, and now, I can’t retire as planned. I have to now continue working as a hairstylist, standing on bruised knees until the day I die.

I'm so deeply sorry you're going through this devastating situation with your sibling. This goes far beyond typical narcissistic behavior into truly dangerous territory, both emotionally and legally. The combination of sovereign citizen ideology, conspiracy theories, and familial financial exploitation is particularly concerning.

A few specific thoughts:

Your brother's actions targeting mass shooting victims' families are unconscionable. That kind of targeted harassment causes profound trauma to people already experiencing unimaginable grief.

The financial exploitation of your grandmother and now your mother through medical caretaking is a classic pattern of elder abuse. The fact that he's using your mother's signature for lawsuits and running a business facilitating property theft through sovereign citizen ideology suggests this is a calculated pattern.

Regarding practical steps:

Document everything, especially any evidence of your mother's signature being used without authorization

Consider consulting an elder law attorney about protecting your mother's assets and your inheritance rights

Look into adult protective services if you believe your mother is being exploited

Keep records of any sovereign citizen/conspiracy theory business activities

The emotional and financial impact on you is significant - having to continue working physically demanding work instead of retiring as planned is a concrete harm. You don't deserve to have your retirement security stolen from you.

You can’t even begin to imagine how much I appreciate being heard by you.

Thank you for taking the time to read, and offer suggestions.

Unfortunately, our Mom will sign anything he puts in front of her. She sees no wrong in him. She has NO IDEA of all of the things he’s doing/has done. I’ve attempted to tell her, but she doesn’t want to hear it.

She’s dying. She doesn’t care.

She’d choose him, every single time.

I’m sure her Will has been changed. He’s secured everything in his name to “protect her”. Remember, she TRUSTS his word.

And an attorney…?

Well, short of a “go fund me”, which I could never do, I have no options.

I can’t even afford a plane ticket to visit my Mom. And with that, I’m now going to pack up my journal, leave my trusty Starbucks seat, and walk the 3.5 miles home to make dinner for my family.

Thank you again. It felt good to finally be heard. 🩵

I was married to this type for 20 years, divorced in 2008. I fell for the alternative reality hook line and sinker, spending hours questioning reality. It began as a drip and reached boiling before I knew what hit me. I was not familiar with narcissism or parent alienation, did not recognize emotional abuse because I had no bruises. Very rarely is this type of narcissism talked about. To this day I still reel from the experience, in awe of his ability to pull off such a psyop, not only with me, but my two daughters and long term friends I had before I even met him. I lost everything. I felt I was living in a Russian tragic novel. If he could have kicked me out of the house and left me to starve and die, he would have. He had sold our business just before the divorce and we were very well off after years of hard work, bankruptcy and raising kids alone who missed their dad who was a “workaholic”. It was absolute hell and could not wrap my brain around such deception and level of evil. I was smart, strong, optimistic, faithful, sacrificial and convinced myself that raising my two girls was exactly what I wanted to be doing, easy to do because it was mostly true. I’ve regained most of my former self, live a life most people would want, moved to another state, love my life, but the dark cloud that hangs over me will probably never go away. It was very complex, very gruesome, for me, and deeply disturbing to my girls who chose their father, who suddenly became father of the year with BMW’s, $1000 purses, several outfits appearing on their beds and many other dad of the year psyops after living most of their lives focused on school and sports. Both earned golf and academic scholarships. I didn’t participate in competing or any of the Twilight Zone reality he fabricated. I gave everybody what they wanted and left the state. It took most of ten years of hoping, praying, letting go to do that, it wasn’t a decision I made impulsively. Sometimes trying to share what I went through I get questioned, “Were you abusive?” This type of experience with this level of evil is hard for most people to comprehend. Most of my friends today are women who have gone through a similar experience, none as cruel and devastating as this. In the end, God saved me from a lifetime of abuse, disrespect and even hatred that is difficult to fathom. I say all this I because I have spent years studying and researching evil. It has prepared me well for understanding the world we live in today. I’m still grappling with the idea of writing a book, trying to figure out how to pass the wealth of knowledge, tools and life experience that could help others avoid the tragedy a covert victim narcissist can impose.
