Narcissistic females are the worst creatures ever. Please, run for your life. Do not be a fool and stick around hoping for change. If you do your life will turn into hell.

My husband's ex wife had a diagnosis of a narcissist. Obviously I didn't have to live with her but I've had to deal with the mess she's left behind her. They had a child (who now lives with us) together and believe me, narcissists don't make good parents.
Her concerns are not related to the child, although she would disagree with that statement. Her concerns seem to be more about what people think of her as a parent. It's weird because she has the ability to fool people for a while but eventually, most see through her. The saddest part of this situation is that the child is displaying many of the symptoms of narcissism. Our therapist said it's very common to pass this trait to the child. I don't know enough about it to tell you if it's environmental or genetic. All I know is that she is on her 6th marriage (at age 46). None have lasted longer than 2 1/2 years. Every ex husband has the same thing to say about her: She 's a chameleon. She can change her personality to suit any given situation. She will NEVER compromise, is NEVER wrong, she has difficulties with co-workers and neighbors.
I wish I had more info for you and if you are dealing with one, I advise you to hold on tight. You're in for one heck of a ride!

A verified relationship? As in, she has a diagnosis from a doctor?
I think if you know about Narcissistic Personality Disorder you know that its incurable, and that is the hardest part to swallow.
When I found out my bf had NPD about 4 years ago, it blew me away. I hung on to hope that he would change - don't make the same mistake I did.

Why YES......my Father's wife happens to be a narcissist. He's narcissistic while she's a pathalogical narcissist. She's ALWAYS only been ultimately concerned with herself and it's such a long story you'd be quite amazed at what they are capable of. Especially if they are intellectually gifted on top of having this disorder, it's results=pure EVIL. And yes, for decades she's fooled the entire family---ALL of my blood relatives just about have believed her lies, while in during all these yrs. due to her manipulative behavior she's driven my sisters and I faaaaaaar away so we can't be a part of our Father's life. We've missed family functions, closeness w/our Dad, holidays over decades. Yes, we've attended a few here and there, but it's been the most painful experience imaginable. I can't even describe it except for utter devastation, depression, and a deep sorrow that took root in our souls. In time much of this has healed and lots of therapy has helped and developing our own lives. And some things she was capable of doing and pulling the wool over other's eyes, I've not even yet ever seen in a soap opera!! It's more painful to try and fight back, I tried it. Since she has had all that time of brainwashing relatives over the yrs. gave her access to take advantage and almost ruin many relations w/our relatives due to her sick jealousies. She even put up her daughter many many yrs. ago for adoption to please herself and her Daddy Warbuck's to get her education and doctorate in mathematics. When her daughter found her, they developed a close relationship. But since my sisters and I were very evilly driven out of the picture, she kept up her sick games even more to influence my Father to become close to her daughter. He's a very sad man over the yrs. from all her manipulations. Too bad he wasn't man enough to ever put her in her place. Some people--i cannot explain how they do it exactly, but their selfishness, evil ways, and strength and manipulations REALLY have a way of literally orchestrating a puppet show. Many yrs. ago, I almost had a couple of nervous breakdowns, but early on KNEW it was just best for me to choose peace over everything. And as much forgiveness as possible. Yeah, you can do a lot of healing, but before you get there, you are really in for a big ride.
Therapists--MANY of them REALLY need to educate themselves on narcissitic personality disorder. It's often missed in topic during sessions which would be healing for many if it's pinpointed, investigated during discussions and learning the causes and effects it has over their "victims". It's a horrible sickness. But you can learn from it, be strong and in some weird way stand up for yourself. It's very tricky though sometimes.
Good luck

I can't answer your question, but I have a fantastic website for you to read over. It explains NPD in laymans terms and seems to hit the nail on the head.
It explains what it's like for kids, partners etc. I have no connection with the site.
