Psychopath and Narcissist Survivors Support Group

Please help with this. At what age can a child or young adult be told that one of the parents is a N or socialpath to help them cope with understanding why your getting a divorce and why the other parent is they way they are and that they should not feel depressed and that is not their fault.

When I realized what I was dealing with the guilt and shame and not to mention depression disapeared and all came into about my soon to be ex spouse's behaviour. My daughter is going through bouts of depression since being informed of the divorce and is extremely confused as to why her mother is berating her and controlling her excessively . Would giving her the information need via the definition of a N or Socialpth help her see more clearly and would it be a form of alianation or simply giving my daughter the tools the same tools i needed to make informed decisions and save myself from insanity. thanks for your replies.

Was her mother officially diagnosed? I assume not. Diagnosing and labeling other people in the absence of proper training and credentials is narcissistic behavior.
