Narcissistic parents demand certain behavior from their children because they see the children as extensions of themselves, and need the children to represent them in the world in ways that meet the parents’ emotional needs. (For example, a narcissistic father who was a lawyer demanded that his son, who had always been treated as the "favorite" in the family, enter the legal profession as well. When the son chose another career, the father rejected and disparaged him.) These traits will lead overly narcissistic parents to be very intrusive in some ways, and entirely neglectful in others. The children are punished if they do not respond adequately to the parents’ needs. This punishment may take a variety of forms, including physical abuse, angry outbursts, blame, attempts to instill guilt, emotional neglect, and criticism. Whatever form it takes, the purpose of the punishment is to enforce compliance with the parents' narcissistic needs. From Wikipedia under the

From Google News Search: "Narcissistic parents" Can narcissistic parent cause their children to be borderline? Q. Does anyone know if there is a correlation between narcissistic parents & borderline children? My mom has a narcissistic personality disorder & I have borderline personality disorder. I'm wondering if it's common for narcissistic parents to have borderline children. Asked by Silent P - Tue Oct 21 11:33:29 2008 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments A. Yes, there is. Both are 'disorders of the self' which means in the early years 0-3 there was developmental trauma which prevented formation of a stable sense of self. A parent who does not have a stable sense of self cannot perform the good enough mothering skills generally to have her child develop her 'self'. A good book that talks Narcissism and Borderline is Search for the Real Self by James Masterson. It is worth reading.

I grew up in a situation where my parents were narcissistic and very unstable. This carried over to my adult life where I couldn't trust people and felt uncomfortable talking about my painful background. How do I get over this challenge? Asked by Andre J - Sun Nov 23 05:57:59 2008 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. You have to practice trusting people which will be hard but you have to start little and grow into trusting another human being. When it comes to trusting a human being though you have to trust them to be a human being which means to trust them to make mistakes, hurt and be scared. Start it with your friends or close friend disclosing something that doesn't matter to you and grow into something that does. You can change man it just takes time so be patient.

Q. what damage could a child suffer by having a parent with narcissistic personality disorder ? Asked by worriedmum - Mon Oct 30 19:07:29 2006 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. Oh my god! Where to start! I hope that it is not someone you know personally. If someone is truly narcissistic then they are not able to nurture properly so I would imagine that child would never be told how wonderful and beautiful they are which would have devastating affect in their adult life.
