Still trying to understand nuances. So son in family is 43, non working, HIGHLY educated, living with parents for 8 yrs., has been 'caught' in female lingerie and drag walking publicly, says he wants a gender reassignment and has been taking hormones for years now. Mother is narcissistic and father recently deceased. Has been evaluated with psychotic disorder, depression, anxiety, aspbergers.... ultimately some sort of personality issue seems to be present. Wondering if narcissism can be learned, seems 'over empathetic though' at times, yet totally disconnected at times one would assume engagement or reflex. Definitely looks like a shared psych D/O, but now that father deceased almost seem content that son has moved from 'pet' status to something more useful? ANy thoughts?
