Do an Internet search on signs and symptoms of being a narcissist. Then give the list to your son and daughter in law and ask them how many signs your husband has. The proof is in the pudding. lol

First, maybe you should try convincing us. Details? If he is in fact a narcissist, I would say there is no convincing anyone. Take the higher road. Don't talk bad about your husband in front of your son. Trust me, your husband will show his true colors soon enough. It will be a much more powerful lesson if your son learns it himself.

I think if you are unhappy with your husband, you need to try and fix things within your marriage or get a divorce. The fact that you feel the need to involve your son and his wife is sick. You need some therapy and to quit worrying about who looks right or wrong in your marriage to the outside world and work on living your life to it's best.

Narcissism (psychology), 1st step is to read up on the subject and see what symptoms of narcissism your husband has. Until you do this and know the extent of the problem, I would not even bother my kids with it. If it is a constant problem and hurting you badly, talk to your husband about seeking professional help. There are many forms of narcissism. Good Luck

Why do you feel the need to convince them? Usually, narcissists out themselves. But if your son and your daughter in law cannot see it for themselves, I don't think you should interfere.

they should be able to figure that out on their own if that is so. don't drag your family into your problems with your husband unless they are asking to be a part of helping you.
the best thing to do is get out. if you live with a narcissist, you'll never be in control of your own life.
good luck.

Time always shows the true character of everyone...
You can not convince anyone of anything... if you feel the need to 'prove you are right' to them - then perhaps some of your husbands narcissism has in fact rubbed off on you... keep it in check and let time speak the truth to them on your behalf... ;-)

Only a narcissist would insist she got her own way and make other people agree with them. I suggest you look at your own issues first, cause it appears you got plenty of them.

Why are you inclined to try to tell anyone your opinion of your husbands faults?
Do you really think they care?
Your son and his wife will have their own opinion based on their own observations.
Your attempts to tell them different will be just more complaint.

I wouldn't advise it. They will catch on to what you are doing and further look down on you even more so than your husband does. It's you . . . YOU are the one who needs to change. Try to make more attempts at bringing yourself up to his level . . . Which is probably "just normal" and may even be "quite humble" at times . . . Who knows? Others perceptions may not reflect on yours . . . Obviously.
