[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s very troubling to see so many folks seemingly unaware or dismissive of the impact on children of growing up with a narcissistic parent - and FYI, that doesn’t have to mean a full blown NPD which is rarer, but heavy narcissistic traits will prevent a person from providing a child with a positive experience of childhood and attachment.

Kids are adaptive and resilient and will do what they must to survive. That doesn’t mean the damage isn’t happening and that they won’t struggle with the fallout from it their entire adult lives nor that it won’t damage their ability to ever securely attach in adult relationships. Sadly in worst case they will become a narcissist themselves and visit this trauma unto your grandkids.

Just don’t fool yourselves, you aren’t doing this for your kids. [/quote]

If divorcing meant he would disappear from our lives, I would do it in a heartbeat.  Unfortunately, I think the reality is that divorce will make a lot of problems worse. [/quote]
