There are those of us who are/were in relationship with someone with NPD and have observed their behavior towards their kids (my mother is diagnosed with NPD)...
I too would like to hear from someone with NPD who has children...
I have an NPD mother too,and I plan to have children and feel worried I might bring them up the wrong way. I posted a "new topic" about that issue and I'm looking forward to learn from people's experience in that regard.
My Mother was not diagnoised as having NPD and she totally refuses to belive that anything is wrong with her. But she shows all the symptoms. I used to have endless clashes with her and was very rude to her in general when I was younger. Now I understand that all her actions towards me were based on her desire to be a "perfect"mother and to have a perfect son. I deal with her now on the "yes dear" basis and try to give her as much supply as I can, and she seems to be very comfortable with it
What I am worried about is children. From what I've rad, and from my own life experience, narcs bread narcs. And of course I want to be the "perfect" father .
