Should sexually abused children maintain a relationship with their abusive parent as an adult?
If the child who was abused by their parent wants to retain a relationship with them, it is their choice but I wouldn't as you never know what they'll do to you next. I would just consider that family member to be a non-entity.

Tell your parent that you want their opinion of the book.

How do you respond to an email from a narcissist parent who asks if you are reading the emails they have been sending and that they will stop if you are not reading them?
You have to ask if they are a narcissistic parent or a concerned parent that worries when you don't answer their email. There is nothing more frustrating than emailing someone in another town or country and not having them even reply with a short note. If your parent is truly a narcissist and you want no further contact with them then have the guts to tell them.

What to do about a mentally abusive parent?
If you are dealing with a mentally abusive parent, it is important to prioritize your own well-being and safety.

In more severe cases, involving authorities or seeking professional help may be necessary to protect yourself from further harm.
Can a malignant narcissist love his child?
A malignant narcissist cannot magically shed his damaging patterns of behavior to bestow unconditional love upon his child. A good parent is one who places his child's needs above his own. A narcissist always places their needs first.
