You can speak about the children of narcissists as a general group, and see that they are more likely to suffer some sort of damage - such as an never learning empathy and how to personally attach to another individual.
You cannot make a blanket statement, however. Each child reacts somewhat differently, and each child has a different support structure outside of the narcissistic relationship. Even the degrees of severity of the Narcissism help to determine the extent of the damage done on the child.
Suffice it to say that having a narcissistic parent or parents puts the child at a disadvantage when it comes to learning how to interact with other people. If they do not find good examples and role models elsewhere, the chances are slim that they can figure out how to relate with others on their own.
And, if you are the child of a narcissist, and recognize it, I suggest that you seek other relationships to model and learn from!

Yes
No. Narcissists can be only children, middle, large families. No correlation.
Yes they are.
No, not at all!!

Not all abusers are narcissists, but all narcissists are abusive. Thats right. Some abusers are BPD. Some are sociopaths. But all abusers have a personality disorder. All are selfish (to a dangerous degree). All lack empathy (when it gets in the way of their selfish desires..and there are innumerous desires, they are never satisfied).
Narcissism & Sociopathy are on the same spectrum ALL Sociopaths are also Narcissists NOT all Narcissists are Sociopaths, though. The spectrum only runs one way.
Not at all
This is the correct spelling. Narcissists.
Narcissists can be male or female or attractive or unattractive. They act as if they are the best thing ever and the center of the universe whether they are attractive or not. A person could be physically attractive and realize it but not be a narcissist. After all, models know they are attractive. Let's assume they're not all narcissists. ~ T
They may be nice to there children because they see them as extensions of themselves and not as"free thinking individuals." Children are just more mirrors for them to look at in vain.
Many ACONs (Adult Children of Narcissists) have FLEAS... behaviors picked up from the NParent. With therapy and work they can be overcome.
