How does a narcissistic parent react or feel when they lose one of their children to suicide?

It depends. If, at the time of death, the child was functioning as a source of narcissistic supply to the narcissist - then the narcissist will mourn and grieve. Otherwise, he is likely to remain indifferent (though he may pretend otherwise in order to maintain his standing in society and his relationship with the other parent).
I'm kind of curious of the reverse of this question. My abuser's mother comitted suicide right after an argument with him. He seemed distant and indifferent at first, but then it hit him and he left me the day before my birthday for a while so he could drink/do drugs/date a different girl in peace. Then he came back to me and picked up the abuse. I've since left him, but I just thought the question peculiarly similar to my own situation.

∙ 14y agoDepending on a lot of variables, when your parent commits suicide, it leaves a mark on the children for life. If the parent was an alcoholic, the suicide can bring relief to the children and surviving spouse, and this is not a healthy way for a child to learn how to deal with death. The children of parents who die by suicide will deal with grief, resentment, guilt, anger, mistrust and other negative emotions for the rest of their lives.

What is narcissistic feed?
Narcissistic supply is attention, positive or negative. They don't usually care which. If they can get you to react to their manipulations, they are extracting the energy from you they need to maintain their inflated self-image.

How can they respect your parent?
in parenting and children, babies the best way to make your children respect you is discipline . I dont mean harsh but in a way they will understand . Try and react what will happen if they were a parent and how would they feel. For babies i think that the best way fro them to understand is teaching them in different sorts of toddlers way , for example : reading a children story book or make it up to the children on how to respect your children . If theses ideas dont work im very sorry this is all that i can help for further information try looking it up on the net on how do you make children respect you ?
Why should parents be encouraged to spend time with their child and drop their children at drop off time and say goodbye in a relaxed and unhurried manner?
Its important that the child does not feel a sense of neglect but instead re assurance that their parent or guardian is going to pick them up in the afternoon from the service. Children are very sensitive and rely on their parent or guardian for a sense of care and security. Another reason for this is that children react quickly to change of environment, for example travelling from their home environment to the childcare service.
