[QUOTE="marlboro, post: 729410, member: 22857"] I have come to the conclusion, that while my son may not have a full blown Narcissist Personality Disorder, he has enough characteristics to make it problematic. And certainly, its viable response to us spending most of his childhood putting out his Borderline (BPD) sister’s continuous drama. But as such, he sees using his son as a bargaining chip as a valid way to bring the family together. However, what that means is “making him number one”. As an NP, he has zero empathy for anyone, and his Borderline (BPD) sister and him are playing off each other. Yes... I know what to do. I can use elements of Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, a subset of cognitive behavioral therapy that I used for many years. But the reality is that I’m just too tired of the splitting behaviors and finding myself as the constant Great Satan, to work much at it anymore. High Functioning Invisible BiPolar (BP)’s and NP’s never get therapy since they don’t believe that anything is wrong with them, and that its always everyone else’s fault. So nothing will ever change. And both can be very very charming, when they choose to be. So my solution is pretty much to limit contact, have contact only when they ask for it, and set boundaries that I refuse to violate. But like I said, its much harder for my wife. She won’t stop enabling custodial behavior until it gets horrible for her. [/QUOTE]
