Do narcissists love their children?

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

7 Reasons Why a Narcissist Doesn’t Love Their Children

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

What are your thoughts on RM's new album "Right Place, Wrong Person"?

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

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.

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."

What if you were the only and last person left on Earth. How will you survive and what would you do with your life?

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!

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.
