Parenting with a Narcissist

Just had to quickly post this link here. After only reading a few posts I find it well written and very insightful. This article in particular can be helpful for those who have just left or are considering leaving an abusive relationship.

I found a book that seems to help me focus and give some assist in dealing with people with Personality Disorders:

Say Goodbye to Your PDI (Personality Disordered Individuals): Recognize People Who Make You Miserable and Eliminate Them from Your Life for Good! by Stan Kapuchinski M.D.

I find if I read the suggestions in the book on what to do before I have an encounter with the NPD ex it helps me script out situations so I am not suckered into another emotionally draining situation.

Hopefully this will help you, as well.

From the blog:

This is my journey of growing up with a Narcissistic Personality Disordered mother and the painful family dynamic that results from this. It’s been a long road, and certainly could have been much worse, but nonetheless has been pretty painful. Thankfully, much healing has taken place. Take comfort in knowing you are not alone, you are not crazy, and there is hope. We can help one another along, our common goal being to end this legacy and create healthier relationships in each of our lives.

This is an interesting blog I discovered tonight, “I Missed Being Me” on child custody.

This post in particular may be helpful. It has a link to another source specifically on preparing for child custody.
