Narcissist in the Family

An enabler or facilitator is someone, who is either knowingly or in ignorance, allows a person with a damaging health condition to carry on their negative behavior.

I have written lots on what it is like to be a child, lover or work colleague of someone who has NPD, but what is it like being a sibling of a Narcissistic sister or brother?

Should I just come out and share my fears and give him information about Narcissism? I feel it is my duty as his Mom

And yet, for some reason, I feel like nothing I do is enough. Success doesn’t exist. My mother has had this effect, in varying capacity- on all four of her children

Why would a husband or wife be jealous of their own children? A parent with Narcissistic Personality Disorder who has children opens up a world of damage and abuse to them

Narcissistic fathers often emotionally damage their children. They disregard boundaries, manipulate their children by withholding affection (until the children “perform”), and neglect to meet the needs of their children

They emphasize different things. Men are likely to emphasize intellect, power, aggression, money, or social status. Women are likely to emphasize body, looks, charm, sexuality, feminine “traits”, homemaking, or their children and childrearing.
