[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, everyone thinks their ex spouse/partner is a narcissist.  So I’ll take that detail with a grain of salt.

It’s also developmental normal for a teen to be fairly self centered. [/quote]

Yeah yeah I knew someone would pipe up with this but there are specific things.
For example, my ex has a high need of association with “elite” institutions. He did not care about the content of his education, but the brand cache. Similarly, my DD isn’t interested in academic topics per se but definitely wants to attend an elite college. 
 [b]I found out late in life about my biological grandfather, who was accomplished in his own right, and his recent parentage which included several very well known wealthy and historically significant people.[/b] I shared this with ex (we are on good terms and speak regularly) and he seemed super pleased… as in that his children shared this heritage and so I wasn’t total garbage, lol. 
He is just also super materialistic and cares about appearance and brand names to an extreme degree. Just the way he is. I think it’s probably nature and nurture.[/quote]

But you of course are far more secure in yourself and have contributed nothing to your daughter's adoption of this point of view.[/quote]
