Narcissism and parent relastionships

Answer 1

The Nacrsissist: Is usually male 75% according to psychological studies. I am

addressing the male Narcisissist and his relationship with his parents. This is a

complicated relationship to describe at best. The mother of a Narcissist is core to

him and his development; also, she has been the root of his destruction, whether

through the act of smothering, idealizing, and the worshiping of him; or through

emotionally (whether present or not) abandoning him. The Narcissist is an empty

shell. He is a void, unable to feel compassion or empathy.

He is looking for the nurturing he has never received but this is not something he can truly accept either. He is a contradiction.

Abandonment issues overwhelm him but he is usually prepared for this, and will

have backup to feed his need for attentive, obsessive devotion. Quite

honestly, you may never hear him say an unkind word about his mother. There may

be times of self reflection, and with this a slight amount of disclosure; but don't

make him your project. He is cunning. He knows there is something terribly wrong

within him. If he is confronted with the possibility that his assumptions of himself

are correct, he will recoil like a child, and then become angry, and there will be

rage. If his mother is alive, he may maintain a distant but somewhat involved

relationship; if dead, you are more than likely one of the his most recent victims. However, he will not go into great detail of emotional abuse, for just the thought

brings him to that empty place of child abandonment.
