[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 762310, member: 4152"] I have a close relative that was a narcissist. His parents divorced when he was young and then his father died un expectantly. His grandparents raised him for much of his youth and from what I understand, they gave him whatever he wanted. His mother reclaimed custody , but hesitated to discipline him since he was accustomed to being treated so differently by his grandparents. He Showed little true empathy for others and would become beligerant and at times violent if he didn’t get his way. Later in life, I met a different type of narcissist…similar. Bottom line with this one is everything revolves around him and he must get all the attention. Again, no true empathy. More overt signs /obvious in this department. Not prone to violence like the other man. Also had an absentee father …kind of interesting. Fragile ego for both. I find this personality disorder extraordinarily difficult and taxing. If they are willing to go to therapy, that’s great and somewhat miraculous. Both individual and family counseling. Call them out , perhaps gently but firmly, on their lack of empathy and BS. [/QUOTE]
