Do they love their kids?
Do they love their kids?
Hi there,
I'm in a good place at the moment and I'm rereading The path forward. Got to thinking about how npd's can't love. Mine seemed to love his children when they were young but as soon as they could speak properly all he could do was disipline them, tell them they were crap and demand respect. He seemed to go lighter on the youngest who is his favourite and a sweet girl. The eldest called him on his shit and was not spoken to for 2 years when she was 15. He tried to scare her into submission by smashing furniture in her room. That only resulted in her running away from home. That was the first time I kicked him out and sent him to therapy. Didn't work, he only went once....
Do they ever love their children or is it all about supply? I think I just answered my own question.
