Has anyone met a female with narcissistic/antisocial Personality Disorder.?

Question

My husband's ex wife was diagnosed with this pathology by the Court evaluator. I just don't know how to deal with her. She is constantly harrasing my husband and me. We are in a different City now thanks God, but she seems very unstable and I just don't know what to do about it. I just don't feel very safe

Answer 1

I married one and am currently in the process of divorce. I know a lot of resources for dealing with NPD. The Anti-social personality disorder is the scary one. These are the people who used to be known as sociopaths or psychopaths. Both NPD and APD are cluster B personality disorders. The common factors for these disorders are that the individual is incapable of empathy or insight. They feel that they are the most important person in the world. The world revolves around them. They are highly manipulative (especially APD). Other people exist as means to a very selfish end, and if you are of no use to the patient, likely you will at best be ignored. They are very abusive to those close to them both physically and verbally.

Is she dangerous? Yes. With the information you have, it would be a great idea to get a protective order. That won't stop her, but it will give you the power to have her arrested if she violates it.

Email me if you have specific questions. I would be more than happy to help any way I can.

Answer 3

Personally I think that Narcissistic Personality Disorder is far more common in women than men. So common, in fact that we don't necessarily see women as being out of the norm because almost all women have it. Far more women than men, in my experience, care little about anyone's feeling but their own, have an emboldened sense of entitlement and have an endless need for praise and are hypersensitive to criticism. I mean, how many men do you know who feel that women should pick up the tab all the time? Probably none, but we all know women who feel that men should pay all the time.
I rest my case.

Answer 4

I've never worked with a female with this personality disorder but have had several males presenting with this. Personality disorders cant be cured and are very difficult to deal with. Prisons are full of inmates with this disorder combination.
