[quote=Anonymous]Parents who are genuinely, clinically narcissistic are the worst.

It looks like telling your adult daughter that no man will ever want to marry her once she becomes a doctor.

It looks like telling your daughters that you hate women.

It looks like pleading for connection from your adult children and then lashing out when they express care.

It looks like taking tremendous delight in deliberately humiliating your son and daughter-in-law at their wedding, your dead spouse at his funeral and your son at his college graduation.

It's non-stop monologuing about how fabulous you are and how everyone in your orbit is inept and unable to function without you.

It looks like infantilizing everyone.

It looks like pitting everyone in a family against each other until no one in the family has a connection with anyone other than the narcissistic person.

It looks like setting situations up that are bound to make the narcissistic person look fantastic while others look like fools.

It looks like becoming enraged at your adult child in the final minutes of your spouse's life, furious that they are focused on their dying parent instead of you.
