Will children of narcissists have personality disorders?
I’m an adult child of a genuinely NPD father who also happened to be my minister. I would say that there’s no way for the child of a narcissist to avoid emotional problems, but personality disorders fall into the most serious classification of psychological disruption. It’s far more likely that behavioral problems and neuroses will result than it is that the child will become classifiable with a borderline, antisocial, narcissistic, or other personality disorder.
