[QUOTE="Smithmom, post: 743057, member: 23371"] One other thought. My personal belief...personalities are formed very young, perhaps before birth. Nature more important than nurture. I don't think that we can change the cores of personalities. But i firmly believe that we can improve relationships. No, you can't change a narcissist to a caring, compassionate, "give you the shirt off his back" type. But you may, assuming both sides are willing and trying, be able to form a reasonable relationship with him. That may be a phone call once a week for 10 minutes. Who knows? But something better than screaming tantrums. You had a good night, something to be happy about and build on. [/QUOTE]
