Do narcissists love their children?

I, too, heard a lot of "I wish I never had children," and, "Your father loves you more than he loves me."

With my first pregnancy, I was terrified this would happen. It never did. With my second son, I was terrified I wouldn't have enough love for both children. As my friend Rae explained, "love just multiplies." It sure did!

So I don't understand how my mother looked at motherhood. I don't understand how she could look at a baby and it not be "hers" anymore. I was no more than an obligation, a millstone around her neck.

What's your take on Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind? How has it affected you?

I was too young to understand how my mother was insanely jealous.

My mother once said, "You'll see this happen when you have a baby: when the baby is inside of you, it's all yours. Once you give birth, the baby isn't yours anymore. It's everybody else's."

7 Reasons Why a Narcissist Doesn’t Love Their Children

To a flat Earther, what's wrong with the idea that gravity is simply a force inherent to space which operates only in one dimension? Why do they go further and try to deny gravity rather than just saying it's different than physicists claim?

If an NPD mother does love her children, it's for what they bring to her, and I felt that I brought her nothing but pain and shame after I was finally born.

I'll never say as she did, “I wish I never had kids.” That's just too cruel to understand.
