I was curious as a survivor of abuse from a covert narcissist myself as to whether or not anyone else thinks that the only way for those that enabled and were blind to this abuse, regardless of how subtle it was, will only ever learn the mistake they made with past victims the hard way from being betrayed themselves by the covert narc they've enabled for potentially years?

Are they potentially in for a rude awakening if it means facing how easily their perceptions were hijacked and warped by the covert narc they trusted so much without realizing this happened or that in that covert narc's sphere of influence they lost their critical thinking, judgement, and autonomy without realizing it?
