A narcissist as a parent

[Survivethestorm]

Ex is a narcissist, well this is what our therapist said. Any way we have a young DC together, he doesn't seem to have any interest and gets extremely angry with them.

My question is does anyone know if a narcissist would become completely absent from their child's life or would they stick around to keep their image in tact?

I know it's awful to want the father of my DC to be completely absent but honestly he is so abusive and I don't want dc to be so damaged by him. He is currently in the picture but it would seem only because of his parents, who also happen to behaviour exactly the same as his especially his dad.

Honestly, they’re better off without him, and I say that as some one who is still in contact with their narcissistic parent and keeps them away from my children as much as possible.

It’s horrible, I’m sorry, but there’s really nothing to be gained by their involvement (and an awful lot to lose).
