[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The sin wasn’t seeking truth it was when I was speculating on the private sexual lives of all of them. None of my dang business, but man I want to figure it all out.😉
I’ve not been fully convinced Jen is a narcissist, though her behavior has shown strong symptomology. Most narcissists experienced neglect and glaring trauma in their childhoods that led to them mastering the art of alternate realities(lying) Jen’s upbringing doesn’t suggest that’s her story. Generally narcissists can’t maintain long term relationships, her friendships last decades, and her family of origin keep her close. Could we be seeing a severely codependent woman having chronic trauma responses surrounded by enablers who haven’t know how to respond to her dysfunction. She feels pressure to drum up the finances as a single mom so she hasn’t taken time to stay silent and truly recover. It’s like there’s a protective personality operating every time she opens her mouth and we all feel the phoniness. 
I guess the reason I sought this thread was it all just hasn’t added up and my counselor mind loves to solve hairy messes like this. Call it a gift or a curse I don’t know. [/quote]

Whatever it is, it’s unhealthy. By her own admission, her father instilled an unrealistic portrayal of how great she is. It’s great to have a champion who believes in you and supports you and loves unconditionally, but the way she describes her father’s adulation of her and her siblings I think may have been so over the top the result was narcissistic. Perhaps not in the sense you describe but the results seem similar. I don’t know the Jen means to be the way she is; she doesn’t know any better because she’s always had this sense that’s she’s just a bit more special then everyone else and her ways are pure and everyone should just get on board, because Daddy told her so from the time she could crawl. Just my take. I’m no head shrinker. [/quote]
