Maybe some danger if there are concommitant pathologies. Do it smart, do it thoroughly.

No contact is the best way to part ways with a narcissist. You must remain consistent and end contact completely and forever.
It's normal and it's the thing to do. By staying in touch with the friends of the narcissist it still links you to the narcissist. Move on and start a new future. What friends? A true narcissist has no real loyal friends. They are known as supply. Those friends who are true to you will "self select" and will make their choice when you break up. However, if they want to maintain contact with the "narcissist" then you need to set them free. It just creates chaos in your life.
Either use duct tape or cut contact. The narcissist will not change his/her ways.
There is no such thing as a 'compensatory narcissist'. It is a fake term made up by psychopath Sam Vaknin (see Related Links). No Contact with a Narcissist is always best.
Narcissist can be sadistic, it feeds their ego and gives them a sense of power to devalue and discard.

No contact forever!

You have to assess whether this person could be a danger to your children. Would controlled visitation be an option? Otherwise if this person is dangerous, the children are probably better off without any contact. They will be fine as long as you are honest with them as they grow up.
setting boundaries is a must but NO CONTACT is the ONLY thing that "helps"
