Do narcissists love their children

Answer 1

Those who suffer from narcissistic personality disorder can love others, including their children. However, they can feel easily offended by the smallest of slights and, in this context, are capable of neglecting iimportant duties - including the realm of parenting responsibilities. They will be capable to love them but not wholeheartedly.

Answer 2

It has been my experience that narcissists never truly care about their children. Not in the manner and sense that normal people do. N's USE their children for various reasons...ie...to gain attention, to have the upper hand, to gain and/or keep perceived control over the narcissistic supply. N's use their children for many different reasons. Whatever the N thinks is love (N's do not know what love is) I am sure they feel a certain amount of that for their children. Make no mistake about it though, once the N is finished with the child, they are finished. If the N has nothing to gain by having the children around, there is no way the children will be around. Children, as well as any other form of narcissistic supply, are disposable to the N. N's will throw them away like yesterdays leftovers. It's truly sad because in most cases, children of a narcissist generally have an unexplainable adoration for the N. The N demands that from his children and the children have no choice but to psychologically comply. Hopefully, through example, the children will grow up with empathy and compassion (traits that a N do not possess). The only way to ensure that your children do not become narcissistic is to provide a GLEAMING example of what narcissists DON'T do...and, unfortunately, sometimes that will not be enough. Good Luck! I hope this helped. they didnt care to start with, unless the child can 'supply' the narcissist.

Answer 3

Narcissism can be considered a major problem within a person. However, a narcissist does not stop loving their children after they have reached a certain age.
