"WELL WHO ARE THESE FLYING MONKEYS? Flying monkeys are the narcissist's enablers and they can be anyone who is willing to subscribe to their altered reality. They may be friends, family members, clergy, counselors, landlords, or even employers WHAT DO THEY DO? When the narcissist wants to evoke some punishment on a target they dispatch their henchmen (aka flying monkeys) to do their bidding. Unfortunately, this can and often does include abusive behavior such as guilt-tripping, twisting the truth, gaslighting, assaults, threats, and violence. AND DO THEY GAIN A NARCISSIST'S LOYALITY With no loyalty for anyone, the narcissist easily discards the flying monkeys when they have done the damage intended. so these flying monkeys end up being nowhere with no dignity left. They are as hollow as a narcissist. They are nothing but pawns for a Narc to hurt their victim. Once the job is done, they throw them like a used tissue paper. ©Akhil Kael "
