The Psychology of Delegated Abuse

Delegating cruelty allows the narcissist to preserve moral authority while exacting punishment.

Andrew repeatedly used this tactic: framing himself as the “reasonable center,” while others enforced the boundary.

This:

• Displaced responsibility
• Created loyalist trauma bonding
• Made him look like the “peacemaker”

It’s a recursive power dynamic: The narcissist curates rage but wears calm.
