Narcissist Behavior Q&A
🚌 They control transportation and fare money so I can't go out
Taking the car keys or cutting off fare money to keep you home is plain control. Don't wave it off as a petty money squabble.
The short answer
With the car keys taken and no money for the bus or a ride, even getting to work or seeing people becomes hard.
Scenes like this
- After a fight, they took the car keys and you couldn't get to work.
- They said seeing your friend would cost you your fare money.
How to tell the difference
Budgets can be tightened together. Cutting off your transportation to block your plans or your commute is not that.
When this happens, try this
- Learn a public transit route you can use in an emergency, and pick one person you'd call right away if things turn urgent.
- If they physically block the door or keep you from leaving, don't hesitate — call 911 immediately.
