On the net, it seems there's ten NPD moms for one NPD dad. True? Untrue? And, if you've thought or read about it, what have you seen about what they call the "epigenetic" effects of parental NPD? Passing it on? Now isn't that a lovely idea. Take care.  |
It sucks when one is wanting more info and not able to find it.
I think that perhaps the issue of daughters being so represented with narcissistic mothers is that the child NEEDS the support of the same gender parent the most... and so when the mother is narcissistic it can really do a HUGE number on the development of the little female mind... where will she get her ability to nurture others from? the ability that society so insists that she possess........ where will she get empathy and compassion from-- that is also a societal requirement of females more than males....... such a situation may leave a female adult at a major deficit from what society expects from her. (I would be included in this group.)
with all this said-- I in no way mean to infer that damage doesnt' occur to a young male mind.... a narcissistic mother can and usually does screw up all her children... as does a narcissistic father-- but seems it's not to the degree as the mother does...
maybe since
she usually spends much more time with offspring while they're VERY young.
hope this helped some.......
best to you
