Narcissistic personality disorder involves a pattern of self-centered, arrogant thinking and behavior, a lack of empathy and consideration for other people, and an excessive need for admiration. Others often describe people with NPD as cocky, manipulative, selfish, patronizing, and demanding. This way of thinking and behaving surfaces in every area of the narcissist’s life: from work and friendships to family and love relationships (Smith, 2020).
"People with narcissistic personality disorder are extremely resistant to changing their behavior, even when it’s causing them problems. Their tendency is to turn the blame on to others. What’s more, they are extremely sensitive and react badly to even the slightest criticisms, disagreements, or perceived slights, which they view as personal attacks. For the people in the narcissist’s life, it’s often easier just to go along with their demands to avoid the coldness and rages. However, by understanding more about narcissistic personality disorder, you can spot the narcissists in your life, protect yourself from their power plays, and establish healthier boundaries."

Cory Huskey is narcissist energy supply for Amanda's sense of self-importance and grandiosity.
Grandiosity is the defining characteristic of narcissism. More than just arrogance or vanity, grandiosity is an unrealistic sense of superiority. Narcissists believe they are unique or “special” and can only be understood by other special people. What’s more, they are too good for anything average or ordinary. They only want to associate and be associated with other high-status people, places, and things (Hochenberger, 2020).

Narcissists also believe that they’re better than everyone else and expect recognition as such—even when they’ve done nothing to earn it. They will often exaggerate or outright lie about their achievements and talents. And when they talk about work or relationships, all you’ll hear is how much they contribute, how great they are, and how lucky the people in their lives are to have them. They are the undisputed star and everyone else is at best a bit player (Patterson, 2021).

Amanda Bacolas' covert narcissism expresses its grandiosity and delusional sense of self importance in her interactions with friends and family. She embraces the title of the "hero" of saving her brother, Christopher, from homelessness by allowing him to live with her and Cory. Cory Huskey feeds this grandiosity of self importance by allowing Amanda to take a maternal role with her siblings. Amanda feeds this grandiosity by complaining about having to house her brother "because he has nowhere else to go," as such complaints brings attention to her status as the "savior" to her family.

Likewise, Cory inadvertently fed Amanda's delusional narcissistic sense of self importance when his parents returned to Arizona and they needed a place to house their dog and Cory's sister, while she was attending Arizona State University. Always wanting to bring attention to her grandiose hero status, Amanda openly complained about Cory's sister and the dogs living at her home. The complaining was so profound, Michael Robertson had a conversation with Cory's mother, which in hindsight he should not have involved himself. At the time, Amanda's father did not know of his daughter's diagnosis of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD).
Cory Husky fuels this narcissistic energy needs of Amanda's delusional sense of self-importance and grandiosity with the adoption of her younger siblings. Cory allows Amanda to play the fantasy as the hero and savior to her two little brothers, who need her maternal love, care, and affection. Grossly delusional and grandiose, as Amanda perpetrated an adoption fraud against her father, which is currently in pre-litigation to reverse.

The delusions that she saved her little brothers from anything malignant is contradicted by over one thousand pictures on Google of Michael Robertson with his little boys, from 2008 until 2018, which can be inspected by simply Google searching those children's names.

Cory Huskey feeds Amanda's narcissistic energy needs with constant praise and admiration.
A narcissist’s sense of superiority is like a balloon that gradually loses air without a steady stream of applause and recognition to keep it inflated. The occasional compliment is not enough. Narcissists need constant food for their ego, so they surround themselves with people who are willing to cater to their obsessive craving for affirmation. These relationships are very one-sided. It’s all about what the admirer can do for the narcissist, never the other way around. And if there is ever an interruption or diminishment in the admirer’s attention and praise, the narcissist treats it as a betrayal (Hudson, 2015).

Amanda uses Cory Huskey's empathy for her narcissistic energy needs for constant praise and admiration. As a slow to warm up child with cognitive and developmental disabilities, Amanda also had a slow metabolism. This created problems with her weight, and times, bouts with obesity in her adolescence and adulthood. Her self esteem issues with her weight, coupled with a narcissist grandiose belief in perfection, requires constant attention and admiration from Cory Huskey, and his validation of her delusions of self importance.
Amanda's narcissistic needs for constant praise and admiration is restated in the feedback she seeks from her complaining about helping her homeless brother, housing Cory's parent's dogs and sister while attending ASU, and the praise she garners globally as the savior who came to the rescue of her two little brothers. Amanda takes the praise, while empath Cory Husky does the heavy lifting as the caregiver and the male role model for her adopted brothers.
Amanda Bacolas diminishes Cory Huskey so he does not challenge her narcissistic delusions of superiority
While people with covert narcissism appear to be modest, they believe that they are superior to other people. As a result, they avoid situations, tasks, and diminish others that challenge this false sense of superiority (Legg, 2020).

As a covert narcissist, Amanda Bacolas needs to maintain a grandiose sense of superiority in her relationship with Cory Huskey. This is covertly done by subconsciously emasculating Cory in their relationship. Amanda always demanded on being the main source of income for the family and encouraged Cory Huskey to work part-time at Walmart, thereby establishing herself as the superior partner in the relationship. Basic chores like weeding the yard, removing garbage, cleaning out the garage...Amanda would pre-empt Cory Huskey from these male duties in the home, and paid her brother to do these simple tasks, further emasculating Cory's maleness in the relationship and maintaining Amanda's grandiose fantasy of superiority.

After Amanda began dating Cory Huskey in 2010, Michael Robertson was so impressed with his future son-in-law that he offered to pay for his first year of college. Amanda shot that down, since Cory's career success would directly challenge her narcissistic delusions of superiority, which she maintained throughout their relationship.

Amanda's subtle and covert emasculation of Cory Huskey mirrors her own father's adult development. Her father suffered gross emasculation as a father of a daughter sexually assaulted in 1998, the brutal rape of his step daughter in 2009, and the narcissistic abuse he suffered by his first wife, Julie Bacolas. Like her father, Cory Huskey is an empath. Amanda Bacolas' grandiose need for superiority in her relationship with empath Cory Huskey may be indicative of an unresolved Freudian Electra Complex:

Cory Huskey feeds Amanda Bacolas' narcissistic energy needs to exploit others without guilt or shame.
Narcissists never develop the ability to identify with the feelings of others—to put themselves in other people’s shoes. In other words, they lack empathy. In many ways, they view the people in their lives as objects—there to serve their needs. As a consequence, they don’t think twice about taking advantage of others to achieve their own ends. Sometimes this interpersonal exploitation is malicious, but often it is simply oblivious. Narcissists simply don’t think about how their behavior affects others. And if you point it out, they still won’t truly get it. The only thing they understand is their own needs. Those on the higher level of the narcissistic spectrum, grandiose and malignant narcissists, feel entitled to exploit and manipulate others for their own gain. They believe in their false sense of superiority. They are likely not covering up some sense of secret shame either (Arabi, 2020).

Amanda Bacolas injected herself into a custody matter with Michael Robertson's two minor children. This participation resulted in an adoption fraud that is currently being pre-litigated to reverse. With no evidence to bar her father from the association with his minor children, Amanda Bacolas injected herself in those matters based on a bizarre narcissistic envy and need to play a savior role to her younger siblings, all based on delusions of grandiosity. Amanda was the child who participated in the exploitation of her father and little brothers, but producing testimony of a truly grotesque nature, showing lack of guilt, remorse, and even shame.

Psychotic babblings were taken by Amanda Bacolas. laden with defamation and slander against her father which included serial kidnappings of children, child dismemberment and mutilation, animal abuse which included putting dogs in bags and slamming them on walls, raping children, etc. The bizarre testimony of these "witnesses" were impeached successfully (copies of Amanda Bacolas' bizarre NPD forensic interview will be made available upon request):

Cory Huskey feeds Amanda's narcissistic energy supply by allowing her to exploit her father by damaging his relationship with his minor sons, and he allows Amanda to exploits her little brothers by alienating them from their father's affections, and this severed close relationship can be seen by Google searching the names of both children and viewing over a thousand pictures online of Michael Robertson with his sons. Cory Huskey is an inadvertent party to the narcissistic abuse Amanda Bacolas has perpetrated against her own father and her two little brothers.
