DISTANCE YOURSELF!!! Don't take the abuse! *I have FINALLY been enlightened as to what I've been dealing with all these years. Wow! There is a GOD! I'm an adult child of a narcisstic father, and I had to gain "Radical Acceptance" of his illness and the fact that he can't change or control himself. It's so sad really. I've decided that I absolutely have to set bounderies in this relationship, if I don't, he'll run me over and I'll be upset AGAIN that I didn't stand up for myself and my family. Distance from this toxic and harmful relationship is necessary to keep your self-esteem and worthiness intact. If these are already in tact and unshakable, then when your dealing with him you can respond with "I understand what your saying," "I have different feelings about that," etc.. Use I messages so that he doesn't feel threatened. Just keep telling yourself that he's ill. How would you treat a sick person? Best Of Luck to you

How do you make sure my children do not turn out like their narcisstic father?

Pay them attention and love them as much as you can...more if you were raised in a dysfunctional environment. And keep their father as far away as possible - I think that is what does even more damage than a distant mother, the abusive narcissistic parent is the one that forces them to retreat to a fantasy world where they are safe and omnipotent.
