In reply to the discussion: Donald Trump, Jr. is really weird. [View all]leftyladyfrommo
(18,868 posts)48. It would gave helped if he was smarter.
With the children of male narcissists the daughter is the Golden Child. With mothers the sons are the Golden Children. Narcissists pretty much destroy their children.
First the child has to figure out something is really wrong with the emotional abuse they deal with constantly. Then they have to learn to set boundaries. Then they have to separate themselves from the situation and learn how to have healthy relationships.
It is a hard haul. Narcissists project everything they hate about themselves onto their scapegoat children. Then they hate the children. It really does a huge amount of damage when you have a parent that hates you.
It is an awful situation but it is still not an excuse for being a horrible person.

He has to be one incredibly self conscious guy. He stands like a fence pole.
