I completely agree, just like with any standard abuser who knows better.
Dr. Ramani makes the point in one of her videos that narcissists ARE AWARE that what they do IS WRONG – or they wouldn’t be so careful to hide or quickly excuse their behavior!
I think lots of bad choices lead to their behaviour patterns becoming set in stone, hence the diagnosis.
Edit: I’m a bit upset that people think it’s OK to downvote peeople for disagreeing with them.
I was raised by someone with a NPD diagnosis, though she didn’t get diagnosed for what she did to her family. She, among other things, enjoyed pushing people to suicide. That really isn’t normal behaviour. When you are so lost to normality that you try to persuade your own child to take their own life, and you start that when they are in primary school, you are seriously mentally ill.
I’m concerned that the desire to refuse to associate child abuse and NPD in the name of ‘not stigmatising mental illness’ is going to spread on here.
I think there are two sides, abuse is abuse but at the same time I believe npd is a disorder. The one doesn’t exclude the other. I believe people with narcisistic traits show certain types of behaviour, often more manipulative, behind closed doors, turning people against each other.
