How to Grasp the Stunning Lack of Object Constancy in a Covert Narcissist
For those looking to discern the covert narcissist from the victim, this is their “tell”
You want to be sure your partner is a covert narcissist.

Maybe you want to know how to discern between the covert narcissist and the victim to perform your job well as an attorney, judge, guardian ad litem, therapist, social worker, pastor, or other professional.
