Why do they not defend the target, instead of the narcissist. They must be like the narcissist, or they wouldn't care if the narcissist likes them. The flying monkey, the enabler will defend the one they identify with and with whom they want to remain friends.
Have you ever been confused when observing people in the room who see what the bully does but say and do nothing? The very least the observer can do is comfort the victim, even privately, but they do not.
If everyone in the room who saw the abusive comments and accusations would chastise the abuser, then the abuser would learn to stop it. But since everyone in the room remains silent, the abuser is empowered to not only continue but become worse.
Silence in the face of wrong is the same as endorsement of it.
1 Peter 2:15-16 "15 For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorance of foolish men. 16 Live in freedom, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God."
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." (Edmund Burke)
So many people quote this sentence from Edmund Burke when speaking about politics, but will not stand up for truth and righteousness in their own family units. I guess its just easier to speak to the choir about politics than it is to risk the anger and contempt of family members.
Just saying!!!!
