Explaining Narcissism to Children

Postby cre8designs » Thu Apr 26, 2012 1:48 am

Hello,

My husband is a narcissist, we have been married for 15 years. We have two children aged 13 and 9.
It is only recently that I have been able to put a name to my husband's behaviour and I need to try and explain what this is to my children. How am I able to explain narcissism to my children in a way that they will understand?

many thanks, Allison
