Do narcissists love their children?

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.

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

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!

How can one select funeral songs that truly celebrate the essence of a loved one’s life while providing comfort to attendees?

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

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

Do you have any attributes quirks sensitivities abilities etc that you've come to learn most people don't experience? E.g. dream with subtext or experience de ja vu regularly or know you experience life very differently from those around you etc?

7 Reasons Why a Narcissist Doesn’t Love Their Children

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."
