they know they can't win?
Narcissists never play fair. Narcissists make rules, break rules, and change rules according to their needs and situations. Narcissists want to prove themselves correct in every situation; proving themselves right is the ultimate goal of narcissists.
When narcissists feel they don't have a point or are unable to defend themselves, they'll start gaslighting and bringing back your past mistakes. Narcissists will create false stories, lie, cheat, manipulate and deceive to put you down. Narcissists might behave in a in a passive, aggressive way to punish you. Narcissists will give you silent treatment to punish you. The main motive of a narcissist is to break you down until you surrender. Narcissists don't have logic or understanding; they completely operate on ego.
You can win only when you leave a narcissist.

They play victim, justify their actions, and retell their skewed story of how the relationship ended to gain narcissistic supply from others. They take no genuine accountability, they offer no solace to those they have wronged, and remediation, especially public remediation, is out of the question. Narcissists will find a way to win, even if they have to recreate history to avoid consequences for their own actions.

Anything you possibly can think of.
They'll take you to court. Tell a sob story of how much YOU hurt them, when in reality, they were the ones who bankrupt you. Or didn't pay child support.
They'll get their friends or acquaintances to start messaging you. (Flying Monkeys)
But of course- these people have absolutely no idea what happened in your relationship with this Narc.
They hear the watered down version of your relationship- leaving out every single abusive thing they did or said to you.
They'll message you anonymously on Social Media. Leave cryptic messages you know that the two of you only understand.
They may even attempt to physically hurt you. They'll show up at your work, or house to intimidate you.
