[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you know if you’re one?[/quote]

We all have narcissistic tendencies, but a true Narcissist would never ask that question. That’s how you know.[/quote]
But how common is it for severely dysfunctional parents to have to have severely dysfunctional children?[/quote]

The key to transforming that is to realize what's going on and wanting to change it.[/quote]
I think most mentally struggling people know they have problems, but only a relatively few succeed in healing their dysfunction. That’s why family dysfunction tends repeat itself generation after generation, even with access to mental health professionals.

Narcissists think it's not them, it's everyone else.[/quote]
Do their children realize they’re likely passing on the dysfunction to their own children?[/quote]

Not if they try to figure it out and stop it. My narcissistic mother never once put any thought or effort into improving herself or her relationships or her parenting or the affect she had on others. None. Zero. It doesn't interest her. She also does not care at all if someone else is happy or unhappy, experiencing comfort or discomfort, etc. I'm not perfect but I'm not like that. So I hope I'm giving my kids a completely different experience than the one I had.[/quote]
You should be wondering what kind of childhood your mother had.[/quote]
