[quote=Anonymous]In a narcissistic family, there will be a particular dynamic. If there is more than one child, one will be the golden child, the others the scapegoats who can do nothing right. They will reserve most of their abuse for the spouse/partner. Signs of narcissism: Does not take responsibility for any mistakes; Will lie/gaslight to distort reality to fit their perceptions and need to maintain appearances; Pathologically self-centered (everything in the family is to support the narcissist’s needs); Sees children and partner as extensions of themselves, therefore, does not support children to develop individual interests; If overt, will be a braggart; if covert, will tell stories to garner sympathy and be incredibly manipulative. I grew up with an overt narcissist parent and was partnered with a covert narcissist. If you are in a relationship with one, I hope you can find a way to leave. Good luck! [/quote]
