[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the disorder is narcissism, you don't. You let go and go no contact. They aren't capable of healthy relationships. Best to end it ASAP. Save yourself. [/quote]

I am NP but have asked many times for someone to help me figure out if my DH is a narcissist or just has many narcissistic tendencies like his (suspected) narcissist mother. Is there some trick for knowing if it's innate or just learned behavior?[/quote]

I don’t even think the experts have conclusively determined if it’s nature (genes) Vs nurture (environment).

Identical Twins raised separately both display tendencies in studies on this.  This scares that crap out of me for my kids.

My spouse just got a diagnosis that he’s not a “clinical” narcissist, but scores high on the narcissist scale.

Unfortunately, there is no cure and it’s hard to treat. He was diagnosed with underlying depression too (manifest for him in explosive anger).

It didn’t become clear until his 40s.  He had a very messed up childhood and it was generational on both sides of his family.

I pray to god my sons genes have more of my side of the family (healthy) in this aspect.
