The Machine of Mark: The Narcissistic Cycle on Loop
July 25, 2025
“Best Friend Forever?” Why Your Child Needs a Parent, Not a Peer
July 25, 2025Some people use words to heal.
Some use words to teach.
And then there’s Mark—who uses words like he’s in a high-speed chase with a broken thesaurus strapped to a trampoline of emotional damage.
Every post is a fever dream—spiritual cosplay colliding with trauma-dumping, wrapped in punctuation crimes and topped with hashtags so delusional they should come with a Surgeon General’s warning.
But none, none, compare to his latest literary heresy:
“Victory in Marriage… Or Just Another Chapter in Mark’s Victim Memoir?”
Let’s begin our tour of DARVO Disguised as Devotion™.
🧠 “This hit my soul…”
“Wow this is Amazing I remember my wife and I were doing a class on this and this hit my soul…”
Translation: “Let me hijack someone else’s reel to make this about me. Again.”
Mark opens with a dramatic flourish, claiming divine timing while referencing a vague memory about teaching a “Marrihae” group (spelling optional, meaning totally absent). He positions himself as a seasoned counselor—never mind the restraining order count currently stands at two ex-wives and four overall.
The “soul hit” he’s describing? More likely indigestion caused by choking on accountability.
📚 The Case of the Imaginary Marriage Class: A Timeline That Never Timelined
Let’s just ask the obvious:
How exactly were you and your wife “doing a marriage class”…
- If you had already been removed from the home by the police?
- If she had already filed for a restraining order based on fear, threats, and emotional manipulation?
- If you weren’t doing anger management, domestic violence evaluations, or even court-ordered parental compliance?
That’s like claiming to be in a book club while serving a library ban.
Reality check:
She may have tried a marriage class with you early on—before you imploded every chance at reconciliation.
You, on the other hand, dropped out spiritually, emotionally, and legally.
But now? You’re clinging to that one class as if a single workshop about communication erased:
- CPS reports
- Court filings
- Public outbursts
- Smear campaigns
- And your greatest hits on the DARVO album
“We were doing well… until she cheated.”
More like: “She tried to fix it… until you made that impossible.”
🎭 “She cheated on me…”
“…and we were actually doing well and then she cheated on me…”
Ah yes, the cheating narrative—classic narcissistic deflection. There’s never room in Mark’s posts for the real reasons marriages crumble:
- Emotional abuse?
- Financial threats?
- Coercive control?
- CPS involvement?
- Constant accusations?
- Public outbursts and smear campaigns?
Nope. Just the eternal fallback: “She cheated.”
It’s the spiritual equivalent of spilling gasoline and blaming the match.
🙏 “I’m not here for sympathy…”
“I am not here for sympathy…”
This is narcissist code for “Please, for the love of God, validate me. Right now. Shower me in praise and affirm I’m the victim.”
“…but to tell you folks don’t give up on your Marriage stay tight and strong in the Great I am.”
Unless, of course, your marriage involves restraining orders, emotional terrorism, and a man who believes almond milk is part of a global gay agenda (yes, he told that to his sonDr. Rao).
📚 “No Holds Bars…”
“I am taking time off soon to release this Marriage Book on love betrayal no holds bars…”
And there it is: the ill-fated title.
“No Holds Bars”
We’re assuming he meant “No Holds Barred”—the wrestling phrase meaning no rules. But instead, Mark gave us what sounds like a bad chain of patriot-themed sports bars where the only thing colder than the beer is the emotional detachment.
It’s not a book. It’s not even a manuscript. It’s a weaponized blog post with Bible verses and bad grammar.
What he’s really doing? Prepping another smear campaign disguised as “restoration.”
Just like he promised:
- Parenting classes
- Counseling
- Child support
- And Victory in Marriage — which now sounds like a spin-off to Failure in Everything Else.
🔤 Spelling & Grammar: Where No Spirit Dares Tread
Let’s not forget the background noise of every Mark post:
- “Wemon” – Reducing women to spelling errors and theological punchlines.
- “Marrihae” – When vowels cry for help.
- “Posistion” in Christ – A typo so profound it almost sounds sinful.
- Multiple exclamations!!!!!! – Usually after “OBEDIENCE” or “TRUTH”.
His posts read like a spiritual ransom note written mid-seizure.
🧾 Let’s Call It What It Is: DARVO Disguised as Devotion
Deny. Attack. Reverse Victim and Offender.
Wrap it in Jesus.
Sell it as a testimony.
Print it in Comic Sans.
That’s the true pattern behind every post:
- Frame himself as persecuted.
- Recast abuse as “betrayal.”
- Recast control as “obedience.”
- Use scripture as a crowbar, not a compass.
🎤 Final Benediction: God Save the Dictionary
This isn’t a spiritual journey.
It’s an ego-driven parade through a graveyard of broken relationships, derailed children’s healing, and weaponized Bible verses—all narrated in broken grammar and bolded victimhood.
But hey… maybe the “No Holds Bars” book will have a coupon for one free emotional outburst and a side of projection.
Until then, we remain:
