Hi mizjjd,
I'm beginning to think that the narcissism is a symptom of MLC! You see over and over again on the board where S's that used to be good, loving, normal H/W's turn into total narcosis's. Not sure how long you were M before the MLC started but so many S's that spent many, many years being "normal" suddenly turn out to be diagnosed when they go to MC. Could a true NP person hide their true nature for so very long? You would think that long before the MLC showed up, that would have come up in the R.

I'm no Dr. or therapist but just something I've been noticing. My W who was a good, loving W and mother for a long time now can't seem to think about or talk about ANYTHING BUT herself. She is obsessed with what she wants, what she is doing, how she feels. She doesn't care about how what she is doing affects her kids, her family, me...she can only think of herself. Sounds like narcissus to me but it's new behavior. Maybe they suppressed it and now can't? Or maybe it's all part of the MLC?
