I don't believe narcissist were abused But rather indulged?

My departed husband was a narcissist. His father was narcissistic as well, a verbally and physically abusive alcoholic.

What do you do if you suspect your narcissistic ex-boyfriend did something indecent with your infant daughter but you couldn't prove it?

The only thing you can do is to bring the child into a pediatrician and have them examine the child for abuse. Tell them you suspect someone and ask that they check for internal scratches or any evidence of abuse. If there is abuse, have it documented and press charges. If the doctor cannot find anything, then there isn't a case. In the future, unless you fully trust your boyfriends, do not allow them alone time with your child.
