Hi there. I get the whole narcisstic thing having been married to one for the last 20+ years. Highly manipulative and clever ++. The backlash onto other family members can be extreme and different individuals will react differently. My children are obviously children of a narcisstic father but they are too young (18 and 13) at this stage to be able to offer comment. I dread to think what they will be like in their 30's. Disontinuing contact is probably the only way to deal effectively with a narcissist. They are masters at what they do and even if it is just a simple comment it will have a resounding impact on the other end. They are never wrong, have no empathy, will erode your trust but at the same time portray that they are "perfect" to outsiders. They are never wrong, envious and contemptous of other people and think that they are more important and better than anyone else. That's why you can never win. All the best and keep your distance - it's the only thing that will help you - he won't care.
