Bereavement

As far as I know, all you can do is count the blessing that you escaped.

When you have narcissistic tendencies in your family, you not only have the narcissists to deal with, but the cult members damaged by growing up in that environment. I say cult members, because a narcissist will often build a cult of narcissist enablers around them.

For any of you out there that wonder if there is a narcissist in your midst, there are warning signs. If a person has never admitted personal failure, the odds are good they are a narcissist. If you hear anything like, "Look what you made him/her do." Then you almost definitely have a narcissist enabler talking about a narcissist. Be very careful of the enabler.

If any of you out there have a narcissist in your midst, my best advice is to stay far away and become a good listener. Do not volunteer any information to anyone who is associated with the narcissist. Listen, but do not tell them the time of day.
