Bearwoman: MsContessa.I have an older brother and his two daughters who I believe who have Narcisstic behavior.They wouldn't apologize or have any empathy for one another or anyone for that matter.
We are lucky in that we can choose who to interact with in our lives. You have two sons who you love dearly and that is recripocated! Don’t allow any future relationships be destroyed by anything from your past. Life is short so just look forward!

Oh don't worry I cut that brother and his daughter out of my life years a go.Or let me say that they actually cut me out of their lives which is fine with me cause I wasn't going to be their persona; whipping girl anymore.

As for my sons I love them with all my heart.
I have sons and daughters too; young independent adults. We are very lucky! I would have brought them up to respect people that respect them!
I think that the worst type of narcissist is the narcissistic parent. We can easily distance ourselves from all the other narcissists who enter our lives, but a child is stuck. The damage can be irreparable to the child who is the scapegoat and, ultimately, to the family as well because the narcissistic parent always divides his/her family.

LucyMaud, you see this so correctly that I hope and wish that you didn´t experience something like that. I grew up with a mother with a Narcissistic Personality Disorder like in a picture book and chose later a partner who was like her twin. He is the father of my child. I left him with my child almost 12 years ago. I had a great, intelligent and loving dad though, and this, I know, is what saves us until the end of our lives, and when my child will have children mabye, them, too. My sister and me cared for that the consequences of that disorder will not affect our children and that it will not be carried into another generation. But that was a long, hard and sad work.
Our mother (who could not be a mother) died last year. I had already distanced myself from her a few months before she died. My sister and me feel every day how our lives change. Sometimes we are very sad because like narcissists do we were held away from each other through lies (you know, the triangulation). But we also have the feeling that we want to really live now. It is hard to describe.
When I read here the copied and pasted articles I think, ah, it is good that people are able to put it in words, but these words can not describe how you feel as a child when a parent does the opposite of what it actually does normally and with all his or her heart. I don´t want to imagine how children feel who have nobody (like we had our dad for a while) who make them feel that they are worthy to be loved.
MsContessa: We meet Narcissists on a daily basis but we seldom recognize them as such! Have you ever experienced one in your life? What are the red flags?

Yes! The children are totally trapped! Narcissists should never have any form of parental control over a child. However, they are very difficult to expose in court as courts become a favourite sources of supply for them! One should study how to disarm a Narcissist in court before going there. No point in telling the Judge; show the Judge!
MsContessa: Yes it is about being brave! Sometimes the only thing people have is their voice.
You have just about hit it on the head Misogyny Narcissism & NPD are linked. You have to confront and humiliate them verbally as they rely on their sycophants. I know women who wince the 1970's & 80's have studied Self-defence, Judo, Karate and other martial arts specifically to ward off harassment from smart arses. No Narcissit OR NPD Bully is ready for that to their level & up to a near death experience.

^ Those some crazy thoughts. WElcome to inside my brain. - plenty of room to wonder
Meh, street smart? ~ Like a mechanic? Yea, they are who'd i'd call intelligent on da'streets.
