My experiences with narcissism I know the Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) very well: from my mother and my ex-husband. If I raised I always meant it was me who is not alright. Was a long way to found myself. I assume my father had a narcissistic mother too and that's why he got depression and tooked his own life when I was a child of two. Later the father of my two younger children got NPD and first I tought I was not alright again. Hard time with little babies. A divorce from a Narcissist is like going trough hell. I had six of years to appear for court and I was always afraid to loose my children. Narcissists are great speaker and it was a very hard time and I had to spend lot of money for lawyer and court fees. One can't imagine that! Hard way, but now we are free and happy. Me and my children learned a lot about us such as we are very tough and we do not need a lot of things to be a lucky small family.
