Satirical Survival from Narcissistic & Co-Parenting Hell

Why “The One and Only Narc”?

The name @theoneandonlynarc is satire — because if you’ve ever dealt with a narcissist, you know they often see themselves as the main character, the victim, the hero, and the smartest person in the room… all at once.

This account is built in that voice — a narcissist teaching other narcissists how to manipulate.
It’s parody.
It’s sarcastic.
And yes, it’s based on real text messages, real conversations, and real emotional chaos that too many of us have had to live through.

While the tone is exaggerated, the behavior is not. This is the stuff survivors of narcissistic abuse hear every day — especially in co-parenting situations. By mimicking it, we’re not glorifying it.
We’re exposing it.
We’re naming it.
And we’re taking the power out of it, so we can wake up and heal.

If something here feels uncomfortably familiar, you’re not alone.
And you’re not imagining it.

Jim Sandburg

Jim Sandburg is not a real person — but you’ve probably met him. He’s the fictional face of covert control, faux concern, and emotionally manipulative co-parenting. Jim always puts “the kids first” (right after his ego), stays very calm while you fall apart, and texts like he’s applying for a Nobel Peace Prize. He’s not here to fight — he’s just here to rewrite history, one gaslight at a time.

Jim is a genre. A vibe. A walking “I’m being the bigger person.”
We gave him a name so we could start calling it out.
