[QUOTE="Shari, post: 184743, member: 1848"] "I've wondered if the daughter could have narcissistic personality disorder. Except that her opinions of herself and her talent are NOT exaggerated, the girl is brilliant. But she sabotages herself almost deliberately; gets very disdainful about a job she might have lost ("I didn't want to work for them any more anyway, it was a dead-end job") or a change in career path. As soon as she begins to be noticed and successful, she backs away and makes excuses. I've noticed she hates competing unless she can be certain of winning by a mile. Otherwise she will be disparaging about the competition as an excuse to not even try. She expects the world to beat a path to her door" You describe difficult children' father. And NPD has been suggested by many of the psyche's that worked with difficult child 1 when I really started looking for answers with him. Their father, obvously, would not go to a psyche or be treated, so he's never been evaluated, but that's the best guess. Whatever the diagnosis, that man is twisted. difficult children' father was twisted, but he was good at it. At 40 and around 350 pounds, he can pick up 20-something women all day long. He has a knack. It took me a while to see thru it, and when I did, I refused to walk out on difficult child 1 and leave him with no one. [/QUOTE]
