that's part of NPD. Do I think someone should tell her....well yes, do I think she'll listen....NOPE. That's so true GEL. And unfortunately, her "awareness" of her NPD diagnosis will most likely have very little effect on her behavior. V-Bube, I'm sure that is why the C is directing most of his advice at you directly. It's like asking someone with a serious mental illness to be responsible for decisions that they are just not capable of. Granted she does not have an Axis 1 diagnosis (that I know of), but Axis II diagnoses (personality disorders) are extremely serious. I know you are struggling with your own issues V-Bube, but my assumption is that your C is looking towards you to make healthier decisions for your F. He has been very direct in his advice, more so than many C would be. That says a lot about the level of intervention he feels is necessary at this point. Sometimes when you are immersed in a problem, you cannot even see it anymore. Like water to a fish. From an outside observer, it seems obvious your children are going to greatly suffer from what they have had to deal with. The bottom line is that they are incredibly well adjusted. They’ve learned to deal with W much better than I have. I just find the possibility of that slim to none.
