Charlotte, so glad that the post was useful and impressed that you and your husband are facing this issue head on. Very difficult but if there is a shift that is happening from his therapy, that bodes well for both of you. Thank you too for the link. I will take a look. Jill

Yes, “we understand.” I found that so comforting, that salve. All of us were in the same boat, no explanations necessary. Thank you for your support. Thank you Nancy.

I am looking forward to your book. I read your blog and find great comfort and understanding (along with humor). I think that is why we, as parents, connected so much at Riverview. We understand.

My husband has NPD, and the hardest part for me, is dealing with his almost complete lack of empathy. He’s in therapy, and I have noticed a change in him. But you are right, at the heart of narcissism is insecurity. I try to keep that in mind. I’m also finding that the more I read about NPD, the easier it is to handle things. There’s some great advice at http://onlineceucredit.com/edu/social-work-ceus-nar. And thanks so much for this post, Paula.

Dear Nancy, Yes, laugh and laugh. Humor is our greatest ally on the front lines of parenting special needs, isn’t it? All parenting for that matter but the challenges of special needs children/adults require that we develop an incredible humor muscle. Thanks so much for sharing this hilarious anecdote. Oh my. I am thinking I should write a book on the humor of parenting special needs. By the way, soon these posts will be published as a book. Will keep you informed. Best to you and to Mary.
