[quote=Anonymous]22:02 again Many children of narcs are co-dependents - always trying to please the controlling parent or partner to keep the peace. They are also very empathetic - or, if you're spiritual, empathic. If you get nervous or angry around your kids, you could be reacting to their emotions. Try to separate them from you by pulling back and become aware of your role in the situation. My two are upper elementary and high school. I am still figuring out my trigger points b/c I still react. But now, I recognize that once I react, i quickly stop and tell my kids that I'm aware of a trigger. I talk to them about my childhood, as I don't want them to think it's ever about them. We are very close. They aren't afraid of me and they think I'm silly, which I am. My mother was cold and unapproachable. a true covert narcissist [/quote]
